Six dead in San Diego plane crash as Cessna slams into ocean after pilot made haunting final call to air traffic control
SIX people have died after a plane slammed into the ocean off the coast of San Diego. The aircraft went down in 200 feet of water after taking off on Sunday afternoon. 1 Six people have died after a plane slammed into the ocean in San Diego The horror crash occurred near Point Loma, a peninsula in San Diego that juts into the Pacific. Officials with the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed the plane was a twin-engine Cessna 414 carrying six people. The FAA said the plane took off from San Diego and was heading back to Phoenix, Arizona. The aircraft had reportedly flown to California just a day earlier. READ MORE ON NEWS It went down around 12:30 pm on Sunday, according to officials. Search crews discovered a debris field about five miles offshore later that same day but continued to search for survivors. The FAA confirmed on Monday that no one survived the crash. So far, none of the six victims have been publicly identified. Most read in The US Sun The pilot made a haunting final call to air traffic controllers before the crash. He said he was struggling to maintain his heading and climb as the aircraft turned toward the shore twice before going back out to sea. The plane was just 1,000 feet above the water when the controller urged the pilot to climb to 4,000 feet, The water in that area is roughly 200 feet deep, the Coast Guard said. FAA records list the owner as Optimal Health Systems, a supplement company based in Pima, Arizona. But the company said it sold the plane to private buyers last year. The FAA database could be out of date, the company said in a statement. Doug Grant, the company's founder, said he personally knew several of the passengers on board. 'Our sincerest condolences are offered to those affected by the tragedy,' Grant said. More to follow...

Multiple deaths after private plane crashes into San Diego neighbourhood
Multiple people aboard a private plane that crashed into a San Diego neighbourhood are dead, according to authorities. The assistant fire department chief, Dan Eddy, said that they will be investigating whether the aircraft hit a power line. Authorities initially said no one was injured, but after a morning news conference, San Diego police officer Anthony Carrasco said five people from a single family were admitted to hospital for smoke inhalation. Another person was treated at a hospital for injuries sustained while climbing out of a window trying to flee. Two others were treated for minor injuries at the scene, Mr Carrasco said. READ MORE Authorities at the crash scene. Photograph: Gregory Bull/AP San Diego police and fire officials said the plane could hold eight to 10 people, but they do not yet know how many were aboard. 'When it hit the street, as the jet fuel went down it took out every single car that was on both sides of the street,' said Mr Eddy. 'You can see that every singe car was burning down both sides of the street.' San Diego officials have not released details about the aircraft that crashed, but said it was a flight coming in from the midwest. Mr Eddy said there was heavy fog at the time of the crash. 'You could barely see in front of you,' he said. The Cessna 550 aircraft crashed at about 11:45am Irish time near the Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport, said the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The FAA said the National Transportation Safety Board will lead the investigation. Christopher Moore, who lives near the crash site, said that a loud bang woke him and his wife and that when they looked out their window, they saw smoke. The couple grabbed their two young children and ran out of the house, seeing a car in flames as they fled the neighbourhood. At least 100 residents of the neighbourhood were evacuated. Meanwhile, authorities closed nearby roads, diverting drivers elsewhere. In October 2021, a twin-engine plane ploughed into a San Diego suburb, killing the pilot and a UPS delivery driver on the ground and burning homes. It was preparing to land at the airport. – AP/Guardian
