Three people killed after a small airplane crashed off California coast
Three people were killed – and their bodies have been recovered – after a small airplane crashed in the ocean off the central California coast, authorities and local media said. Emergency crews responded late on Saturday after reports of a plane down about 300 yards (275 meters) off Point Pinos in Monterey county, the US Coast Guard said in a statement on Sunday. The coast guard later told California's KSBW news station that it recovered the bodies of three local residents who had been on the downed plane. They were identified as Steve Clatterbuck, 60, of Salinas; James Vincent, 36, of Monterey; and Jamie Tabscott, 44, of Monterey. Witnesses reported hearing an aircraft engine revving and a splash in the water, KSBW reported. People on shore reported seeing debris wash up from the crashed plane. Clatterbuck, Vincent and Tabscott were all on the twin-engine Beech 95-B55 Baron when it took off from the San Carlos airport at 10.11pm local time and was last seen at 10.37pm near Monterey, according to flight tracking data from Coast guard boat and helicopter crews were launched to search for the crash victims, with assistance from local law enforcement and fire agencies. The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate. The Associated Press contributed reporting

Trust your gut and fail bravely: seven influential women on the advice they would give their 30-year-old selves
If you could go back in time and give your younger self some advice, what would it be? (Mine: always hire a professional to do your taxes and just accept you look best with a side part.) It's tempting to imagine what we might have done differently. Unfortunately, wisdom tends to be hard-earned, and often only arises after a series of mistakes – like parting your hair in the middle for five years even though it makes you look like a potato. While personal wisdom takes time and patience to cultivate, we can always listen to what other astute people have learned over the years. For our series The joys of ageing, we asked seven influential women what advice they would give their 30-year-old selves if they could go back in time. I'd tell my 30-year-old self to write morning pages: three pages of longhand, morning writing, done daily. The pages provoke, clarify, comfort, cajole, prioritize and synchronize the day at hand. They guard – and guide – the writer. I would have told my 30-year-old self that all the things I sought from the world – respect, safety, love, esteem – were not out there, and that experiencing those was going to be an inside job. I wasn't going to be able to achieve, own, lease, marry well enough to feel fulfilled for any length of time. That I could stop dancing as fast as I could trying to fill up on all the prizes and rewards and glitter that the world had to offer – because it was outside of me, it was not of lasting value. I would have told myself to do everything I could do to make myself stronger, keep fit and be the best of what I could be. And we're not all going to be the same. Don't even think that you're going to look like or do the same things as everyone else. Just do what you can do. Sign up to Well Actually Practical advice, expert insights and answers to your questions about how to live a good life after newsletter promotion I would tell my 30-year-old self to trust my gut. Don't overthink. If only we could go back and lend wisdom to our younger selves. But life doesn't work that way. We earn our wisdom, year by year. Yes, I wish I had the overwhelming gratitude for our blue jewel of a planet at age 30, as I do now, at age 75. I wish I had been more forgiving of myself and my blunders. I wish I had been more tolerant of others' blunders. We, all of us, are on an arc of personal evolution. Wisdom can't be rushed. The only goal we can strive for is to eventually arrive at becoming the person we can admire. The understanding that would have been most helpful would have been something like: 'When a door closes, another one can open.' No, I won't go to journalism school after all – a long-held, quiet aspiration – but I've learned a lot contemplating the role of truth-telling, wise detachment and compassionate witnessing. I won't still traipse around Asia as I began doing when I was 18, but I can have a vibrant sense of adventure, a strong love of learning and an ability to not excessively rely on creature comforts. I may not have so many firsts – like I've already had with my first book, my first recording, my first public talk to crowds of people. But you know what – I just might. What's ahead will take courage, but you are ready. Do not shrink to belong. Stand boldly, fail bravely, grow fully and move forward with peace of mind and heart. Start every day with kindness. That's your superpower.

Five kids and adult dramatically rescued from water near Miami after barge hits and sinks their sailboat
Five young children and one adult were rescued from the water off Miami Beach after a barge struck their sailboat, leaving three of the children critically injured, authorities said. The 'active water emergency' unfolded in Biscayne Bay off Miami Beach around 11:15 a.m. Monday when a sailboat was struck by a barge near Star Island, Miami Beach Fire Rescue officials said, according to NBC Miami. Five children between the ages of eight to 12 were on the sailboat along with an adult when it was struck by the barge, Miami Fire Rescue Lt. Pete Sanchez said. Three of the children were critically injured when the vessel capsized, while one child and the adult woman were stable. The other child was evaluated at the scene, authorities said. Sanchez said it's believed the adult is a camp counselor. The incident is under investigation.
