San Diego – A small plane fell into a quarter in San Diego early Thursday during the foggy weather, set about 15 houses on fire and vehicles and forced to make evacuations along several blocks, the authorities said.

“We have jet fuel everywhere,” said Dan Eddy, deputy fire chief Dan Eddy, during a press conference. “Our main goal is to search all of these houses and get everyone out now.”

He said, “There is a direct success in several houses” in the Murphy Canyon district and described “a gigantic rubble field” in a thick, packed quarter in which a number of military families live.

It was not known whether there were any injuries.

Christopher Moore, who lives a street from the crash site from the crash site, said that he and his wife were woken up by a loud bang and saw smoke as they looked out the window.

She reached for her two small children and ran out of the house. On the way out of the neighborhood, they saw a car on fire.

“It was definitely terrible, but sometimes you just have to drop your head and come to safety,” he said.

Eddy said that it was very foggy at the time the private aircraft crashed. “They could hardly see them in front of them,” he said.

The Cessna 550 plane crashed around 3:45 a.m. near the Executive Airport from Montgomery-Gibbs, said the Federal Aviation Administration.

“The number of people on board is unknown at this time,” said the FAA in an explanation.

The plane can wear six to eight people.

The FAA said the National Transportation Safety Board would lead the examination.

A twin plane in October 2021 plowed into a suburb in San DiegoKill the pilot and a UPS supplier on the ground and kill burning houses. It prepared to land at the airport.
