Several dead in plane crash on California neighborhood
 

A small plane crashed into a San Diego neighborhood Thursday morning, killing everyone on board and causing widespread destruction. The Cessna 550 went down around 3:45 a.m. near Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport, destroying a home and setting over a dozen cars on fire. Here's what we know so far:

Fatalities and Injuries: Six people were aboard the plane, and unfortunately, all of them lost their lives. One of the victims was identified as Dave Shapiro, a music agent and founder of Sound Talent Group. Two other staff members from the company were also on the plane.

Destruction and Response: The crash damaged at least 10 houses, and vehicles on both sides of the street went up in flames. San Diego Fire Department Assistant Chief Dan Eddy reported one house was badly damaged, but miraculously, no one on the ground was seriously hurt. The fire department and other emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene.

Cause of the Crash: The cause is still under investigation, but it's believed the plane clipped a nearby power line before going down in thick fog. The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board will likely investigate the incident.

Neighborhood Impact: The residential area where the plane crashed is largely military housing, with many families living in the neighborhood. Witnesses described the scene as chaotic, with flames and smoke visible from a distance.

Witness Accounts: Yasmine Sierra, a local resident, helped her neighbors escape their burning house by using a ladder to reach them in their backyard. Jeremy Serna, a Navy personnel, recounted hearing a loud bang and seeing the sky turn orange before realizing everything was on fire.

The investigation is ongoing, and more details will be released as they become available. Unfortunately, this incident adds to a recent string of aviation accidents in the US.
