Small plane crashes into San Diego neighborhood, setting homes and vehicles on fire

Source: Associated Press

A small plane crashed into a San Diego neighborhood during foggy weather early Thursday, setting about 15 homes on fire as well as vehicles, and forcing evacuations along several blocks, authorities said.

“We have jet fuel all over the place,” Assistant Fire Department Chief Dan Eddy said during a news conference. “Our main goal is to search all these homes and get everybody out right now.”

He said “there is a direct hit to multiple homes” in the Murphy Canyon neighborhood and described “a gigantic debris field” in a dense, packed neighborhood where a number of military families live.

It was not known if there were any injuries.

Never been in a plane going down, but I was in a helicopter that had taken enemy fire and had to make an emergency hard landing, I never want to experience that again.
My condolences to the families and friends.

Multiple people on board a private plane that crashed into a San Diego neighbourhood are dead, authorities said.

Assistant Fire Department Chief Dan Eddy said that they will be investigating whether the plane hit a power line.

No one on the ground was injured, he said.

San Diego police and fire officials said the plane could hold eight to 10 people, but they do not yet know how many were on board.
