Search Underway for Six Missing After Cessna Crash Off San Diego Coast
June 9, 2025 | San Diego, CA — A search operation is ongoing after a Cessna 414 aircraft crashed into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego on Sunday, leaving six people missing.
The U.S. Coast Guard received the initial report of the crash at approximately 12:45 p.m. PDT. Emergency response teams were quickly dispatched to an area about three miles west of Point Loma, a prominent coastal area near San Diego.
Joining the Coast Guard in the search effort are teams from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, San Diego Harbor Police, and the San Diego Lifeguard Service.
A debris field was discovered Sunday afternoon in waters estimated to be around 200 feet deep. However, as of 11:30 p.m., no survivors or victims had been located, according to a Coast Guard spokesperson speaking with the Los Angeles Times.
Authorities have not yet identified the six individuals believed to have been on board the aircraft.
Local surfer Tyson Wislofsky told KNBC-TV that he was in the water when he saw what appeared to be a small aircraft descending rapidly toward the ocean. 'It was fast and silent — then just a splash,' he said.
The cause of the crash is currently under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). More updates are expected as the search continues.

Four crew members missing as Singapore-flagged cargo ship burns off India coast
India's Coast Guard is continuing efforts to douse a fire on a Singapore-flagged cargo ship in the Arabian Sea near the coast of the southern state of Kerala. MV Wan Hai 503, which was heading to India's Mumbai city from Sri Lanka's Colombo, reported an internal container explosion on Monday, resulting in a major fire on board. Eighteen crew members have been rescued, while four are still missing. Singapore has sent a team to assist in the rescue efforts. The Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) has issued an alert for the coast of Kerala due to potential oil spill and debris from the ship. Footage on Tuesday showed MV Wan Hai 503 emitting large plumes of smoke as the Indian Navy and Coast Guard tried to extinguish the fire onboard. The Coast Guard said fires and explosions continued to be seen on the ship. In a search and rescue operation carried out on Monday, 18 of the ship's 22 crew members were rescued and brought ashore where some of them are being treated for injuries. The crew members had abandoned the ship when the fire broke out and left on a boat after which they were rescued by the Navy, India's defence ministry said. The Singapore Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) said four crew members are still missing - two of them are from Taiwan, one from Myanmar and one from Indonesia. The MPA said that it has sent a team to help with the rescue. Kerala Ports Minister VN Vasavan said that 50 containers from the ship had fallen into the sea. The ship was carrying 100 tonnes of bunker oil, Mathrubhumi News reported. Containers that fell from it were drifting along the coast of Kerala, INCOIS told Manorama News, and could drift towards its coastline in the next three days. This is the second such incident in three weeks near the Kerala coast. Last month, a Liberian-flagged vessel carrying oil and hazardous cargo leaked and sank in the Arabian Sea, sparking fears that harmful substances could endanger the health of residents and marine life. The state government then banned fishing within a 20-nautical mile radius of the shipwreck and announced compensation for families from fishing communities in four affected districts. Kerala's coastal stretch is rich in biodiversity and the state is also an important tourist destination.

Both North Sea crash ships still on fire: UK Coastguard
Both vessels were still on fire Tuesday over 24 hours after a cargo ship struck a jet fuel-laden tanker in the North Sea off northeast England, the UK Coastguard said. The fire on the Stena Immaculate tanker had "greatly diminished," the Coastguard said, adding the cargo ship Solong was "still alight" and being "monitored" after it "separated" from the tanker late Monday night and began drifting southwards.
