Small Plane With 3 Aboard Crashes Off California Coast
The private plane, a Beech 95-B55 Baron, took off from San Carlos Airport, about 25 miles south of San Francisco, shortly after 10 p.m. on Saturday, according to Flightradar24, a site that compiles public information about aircraft locations and flight paths.
It was in the air for about 30 minutes, flight data shows, before it crashed into the Pacific Ocean, approximately 200 to 300 yards from Point Pinos, on the southwestern edge of Monterey Bay, the U.S. Coast Guard said on Sunday morning.
Just before 11 p.m., the authorities in Monterey County alerted the Coast Guard about the crash.
The plane has been located, the Coast Guard said on Sunday, and two people have been found unresponsive. A search for the third person is continuing.
The plane crashed shortly ahead of its intended destination of Monterey Regional Airport, which is near the bay and a few miles east of Pacific Grove, which is about 120 miles south of San Francisco.
A Coast Guard helicopter, three Cal Fire rescue boats, and units from the Pacific Grove Police Department and Monterey County joined in the operation.
The F.A.A. and the National Transportation Safety Board said they were investigating the crash.

Man killed in southern Manitoba plane crash remembered by friends as 'extremely knowledgeable' pilot
Friends of a man killed when his single-engine plane crashed in Manitoba field on Saturday say he was a knowledgeable and passionate pilot who had just earned his recreational pilot licence earlier this spring. On Sunday, the Winnipeg chapter of the Experimental Aviation Association posted a statement on Facebook mourning the loss of member Peter Toth. Chapter president James Slade said Toth was one of the group's "most active members," who was always keen to share his aircraft expertise and passion for small planes, including on his "Challenger 2 Aircraft Adventures" page on YouTube. "He was just delightful to be around because he was extremely knowledgeable. You could ask him about virtually any topic and he would have something to say about it — and he was informed on it as well." Slade said Toth was thrilled to receive his recreational flying permit and was working toward his float rating to fly seaplanes. "He completed the recreational permit and he just got that this spring. He was so proud to see that he had completed the coursework and the flight training for it." Slade said Toth was meticulous when it came to working on planes, helping others while fixing up his own aircraft. "He would always be the one I would ask to double check my work if we was around," Slade said. "He was always very conscious about getting things done right." Slade confirmed that it was Toth's Quad City Challenger II ultralight aircraft that crashed in a field near Dugald, Man., on Saturday morning. Slade said Toth's plane was scheduled to fly that day and his plane was missing from the hangar. The body of a man was recovered from the plane, RCMP said in a news release on Sunday. Witness Darrin Bonnett was driving toward Winnipeg on Highway 15 when he saw the plane plummet. "Just out of the corner of my eye, I saw something coming down from the sky. As I looked over, there was what appeared to be an aircraft spiralling straight down towards the ground," he said. Bonnett, who's trained as an emergency medical responder, said he pulled over to call 911 and stayed on the line with the dispatcher as he jumped out of his vehicle and headed to the crash site. He described the scene as "carnage." "Had I not seen it come down from the sky, I would not have assumed it was an airplane from the wreckage that I saw. It was just a twisted wreck," Bonnet said. The Transportation Safety Board, which is responsible for investigating transportation accidents, said it has deployed a team of investigators to gather information and assess the accident.

Too Much Moose Meat Blamed For Fatal 2023 Plane Crash That Killed Alaska Rep. Mary Peltola's Husband
While it definitely feels like it's been happening more frequently lately, commercial airline crashes are incredibly rare, especially considering how many miles they fly every year. Small, private planes, however, are a completely different story. So when former Alaska Representative Mary Peltola's husband, Eugene, crashed a Piper Super Cub in southwest Alaska back in 2023, it was tragic but also far from unheard of. Recently, the National Transportation Safety Board concluded its investigation into the crash and believes it knows why the plane crashed — it was overloaded with moose meat. According to the NTSB's final report, while on a hunting trip, Peltola attempted to fly out of a remote airstrip carrying moose meat and antlers. Unfortunately for Peltola, he loaded too much weight onto the plane, putting it 117 pounds or 6% over its maximum takeoff limit. He also had a set of antlers strapped to the right wing strut, which investigators said likely contributed to the crash. Had the plane not been overloaded, the antlers may have been less of an issue, but the combination of added weight and drag ultimately proved fatal. Wind was also reportedly a factor, with Clint Johnson, the NTSB's Alaska Region Chief, telling Alaska's KTUU, "Number one was, obviously, the overweight condition — no ifs, ands, or buts there. The parasitic drag from the antlers that were attached to the right wing, and then also the last thing would be the wind, the mechanical wind turbulence at the end of the takeoff area, which unfortunately, led to this accident. If you would have been able to take one of those items out, we probably wouldn't be having this conversation. But those things all in combination led to this tragic accident." Read more: These Are The Best Engines Of All Time, According To You Allegations Of Negligence Strapping antlers to the exterior of a small plane is reportedly fairly common in Alaska, but, at least on paper, you're still required to get approval from the Federal Aviation Administration before doing so. According to the report, though, there is no evidence that Peltola's plan had been approved to do so. And while a plane's maximum takeoff weight can be the same as its maximum landing weight, that's not always the case. According to the NTSB's report, the plane likely would have still been 180 pounds over the Super Cub's landing weight, even when accounting for the fuel consumed in the air. In addition to Peltola overloading the plane, the report also states that it had undergone extensive repairs throughout its seven decades of service, and much of that work was done before the FAA updated its guidelines on repairs and restorations. The report didn't draw a conclusion one way or the other as to whether or not those repairs contributed to Peltola's crash, however, KTUU reports a lawsuit has been filed, claiming Bruce Werba and the two companies he controlled, Alaska Pike Safari's & Wilderness Adventures and Neitz Aviation, Inc., behaved negligently and caused Peltola "to fly excessive hours, to fly without adequate sleep or rest, to fly under unreasonably dangerous conditions, and to carry an external load without the required permit." The lawsuit also alleges that neither of the companies named in the suit had gotten a certificate of self-insurance from the Alaska Division of Workers' Compensation and thus deprived Peltola of the appropriate compensation. The lawsuit reportedly seeks at least $100,000 in damages, as well as a jury trial. Want more like this? Join the Jalopnik newsletter to get the latest auto news sent straight to your inbox...
