Small plane hit power lines before deadly San Diego crash, NTSB confirms
National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) officials confirmed Friday that a small plane that plummeted into a U.S. Navy-owned residential neighborhood in San Diego early Thursday, incinerating more than a dozen nearby homes and cars, hit high-tension power lines while approaching the airport for landing. The aircraft, a Cessna 550 Citation business jet, crashed around 3:45 a.m. in the Murphy Canyon neighborhood, killing all six people on board, according to Dan Baker, the NTSB investigator in charge. While the identities of those killed have not yet been confirmed by authorities, Fox News Digital learned music executive Dave Shapiro and drummer Daniel Williams died in the crash. Two Planes Do 'Go-arounds' To Avoid Military Helicopter Near Reagan Washington National Airport After departing from Teterboro, New Jersey, the flight made a stop in Wichita, Kansas, and was inbound to Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport. The plane was approaching the airport's runway when it struck the power lines. Read On The Fox News App Baker said the male pilot did not report any problems to air traffic control and did not declare an emergency. NTSB investigators determined the automated surface observing system, which provides airport weather conditions to pilots, was "inoperative" at the airport at the time of the accident due to "an unrelated power surge." Air traffic control provided the pilot the weather conditions at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar before he began the approach to Montgomery Airport, Baker said. The weather at Miramar, which is four miles north of Montgomery Airport, was briefed as wind calm, with a half-mile of visibility and a 200-foot ceiling. San Diego Plane Crash Kills Rock Musician, Influential Music Exec NTSB investigators also determined there were notices to air mission, also called NOTAMs, in effect at the time of the accident that stated the runway's precision approach path indicator and approach light system with runway alignment indicator lights at the airport were "out of service." While the plane did not have a flight data recorder, Baker said a cockpit voice recorder may have been installed.

Indian airspace over Andaman and Nicobar Islands closed on May 23-24: Report
India has announced a brief closure of airspace over a region surrounding the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea for planned air activity, set to take place for three hours each on May 23 and 24, according to a report by the Indian Express. IE cited a recent Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) issued by authorities, 'no civilian aircraft will be permitted to operate in the designated airspace at any altitude during this period.' (Mint could not independently verify the development) The NOTAM, issued on the evening of May 16, does not specify the exact nature of the air activity, which is not a mandatory requirement, according to the report. However, a review of previous NOTAMs related to military drills and weapons testing suggests that while some notices are vague, others provide more detailed descriptions. The location and details of this particular notice have led to speculation that it may be related to a missile or weapons system test. (This is a developing story)
