Plane Crashes Into Pacific Ocean Just Outside San Diego
A plane crashed into waters near San Diego, and rescue efforts have been initiated. First responders were called to the scene on Sunday after reports of a downed aircraft in water near Point Loma. The U.S. Coast Guard says the plane was a Cessna 414, and that six people were aboard at the time of the crash. Tracking from Flightware shows that the plane intended to travel from San Diego to Phoenix. Responders say they've established an area where the wreckage from the plane could be, but that they have yet to triangulate a specific location. Tyson Wislofsky was out surfing on Sunday, and he explained what he saw, heard and felt to NBC 7 San Diego. "I saw him come down at an angle. He wasn't flying straight to the ground," Wislofsky said, initially believing the plane was doing stunts in the air. "The next time he came out of the clouds, he went straight into the water. But after I saw this splash, about six seconds later, it was dead silent. I knew that they went in the water, nose first, at a high speed.' According to NBC 7, the plane was a 1970 model of the Cessna 414 with a twin engine and a total of seven seats. Optimal Health Systems, a nutritional supplement brand based out of Arizona, owns the aircraft. Local lifeguards, U.S. Border Patrol and the Coast Guard have all joined the effort to locate the wreckage from this weekend's crash. The National Transportation Safety Board is also investigating, adding to several aviation-related incidents over the last few months. Plane crashes in cities like Washington DC and Philadelphia have dominated the news cycle, leading to several fatalities and other negative outcomes. The Newark, New Jersey airport has become a case study on the fundamental issues with air travel around the country, and small aviation disasters like the one in San Diego continue to persist. As the situation develops and the aircraft is eventually found, our thoughts go out to those passengers or crew who weren't able to survive the crash, their friends, family and loved ones.

Plane carrying six crashes off San Diego coast
Six people are feared dead after a light aircraft plummeted into the Pacific Ocean three miles south-west of San Diego, California. The twin-engined Cessna 414 crashed on Sunday at lunchtime. It was the second accident involving a private plane in the area within a matter of weeks. According to the US coastguard, which sent a helicopter, two rescue boats and a light aircraft to the scene, there was no sign of survivors. The seven-seat Cessna took off from San Diego for Phoenix, Arizona and crashed less than 30 minutes later. Local reports said the pilot told air traffic controllers that the plane was struggling to maintain its altitude before plunging into the ocean. 'A debris field has been located, but I do not currently have the size of it,' coastguard Petty Officer Ryan Graves told NBC 7. 'I saw him come down at an angle. He wasn't flying straight to the ground,' Tyson Wislofsky, a witness, told the station. 'The next time he came out of the clouds, he went straight into the water. But after I saw this splash, about six seconds later, it was dead silent. I knew that they went in the water, nose first, at a high speed.' The first Cessna 414 entered service in 1968, and an updated version was introduced in 1978. 'This is a twin-engine turbo, a piston airplane, that can fly on one of the two engines. So you could lose an engine,' Jim Kidrick, chief executive of the San Diego Air and Space museum, told ABC7. Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board are examining the cause of the accident. The worst crash involving a Cessna 414 took place in July 1982 when 12 people, including American Christian singer Keith Green, died shortly after taking off from a small airport in Texas. Investigations blamed the accident on the plane being overloaded. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

Music talent agent Dave Shapiro among six killed in San Diego plane crash
SAN DIEGO: The six people onboard a small plane that crashlanded in a California neighborhood amid dense fog were all killed, according to investigating authorities. The Cessna 550 Citation, which federal records show belonged to music agent Dave Shapiro, struck a power line before plummeting into a residential area of San Diego at 3.47am (1047 GMT) on Thursday, according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). "The pilot and passengers were fatally injured," NTSB investigator Dan Baker told a press conference on Friday. He added that no one on the ground had been seriously hurt. While Baker did not specify the number of fatalities, the US Federal Aviation Administration previously said the private plane had six people onboard. The San Diego County medical examiner's office named three of the victims as Shapiro, 42, Emma Huke, 25, and Celina Kenyon, 36. Music veteran Shapiro was a co-founder of Sound Talent Group, which has represented artists including Sum 41 and Vanessa Carlton. The company told US media that two other members of its staff, booking assistants Huke and Kendall Fortner, were also killed in the crash. "We are devastated by the loss of our co-founder, colleagues and friends. Our hearts go out to their families and to everyone impacted," Sound Talent Group said in a statement. Kenyon was a professional photographer and mother, according to her social media. Her father, Bryan Charles Feldman, told NBC7 she had chosen to fly home early with friends after a photo shoot rather than take a commercial plane so she could take her daughter to school the next day. NBC7 identified the other victims as software engineer Dominic Damian and Daniel Williams, a former drummer for metalcore band The Devil Wears Prada. "No words. We owe you everything. Love you forever," the band wrote in a tribute to Williams on Instagram. In San Diego's Murphy Canyon neighborhood, at least 10 homes were hit by debris, while the site of the fiery crash was littered with charred remnants of cars and scattered fiberglass. It was not immediately clear what caused the Cessna to come plunging into the bloc, setting several houses alight. The NTSB said the pilot had not reported any problems to air traffic control or declared an emergency. Runway approach lights and an automated weather reporting system were not operational at the Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport at the time, according to the NTSB's Baker. "We are trying to determine at this time if the airplane was equipped with a cockpit voice recorder," Baker said.
