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.

$60 Mn US F-18 Sinks into Red Sea While Evading Yemen Attack
A US Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet has been lost at sea after it fell overboard from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier while the ship was conducting evasive maneuvers in response to incoming threat from Yemen. The US Navy said in a statement the fighter jet was being towed on board the carrier. A US official said initial reports from the scene indicated the Truman made a hard turn to evade 'Houthi' fire, which contributed to the fighter jet falling overboard. A $60 MILLION F-18 falls overboard and is LOST at sea, after USS Truman dodges serious Houthi fire — CNN 'The F/A-18E was actively under tow in the hangar bay when the move crew lost control of the aircraft' — US Navy — RT (@RT_com) April 28, 2025 Yemeni Armed Forces announced earlier on Monday to have launched a drone and missile attack on the aircraft carrier, positioned in the Red Sea.

'The F/A-18E was actively under tow in the hangar bay when the move crew lost control of the aircraft. The aircraft and tow tractor were lost overboard,' the statement said. 'Sailors towing the aircraft took immediate action to move clear of the aircraft before it fell overboard. An investigation is underway.' The CNN quoted a second US official as saying that the aircraft had sunk. An individual F/A-18 fighter jet costs more than $60 million, according to the Navy.
