Several people who are dead after the private jet crashed in the San Diego district: more than 100 evacuated from the houses

The music talent agent Dave Shapiro was among the killed when a small private plane fell into a quarter in San Diego early Thursday. She lit cars and houses and injured eight people on site.

The fiery crash occurred around 3:47 a.m. when a small Cessna 550 abruptly came to the Murphy Canyon district.

Shapiro, 42, the owner of the sound talent group, was one of at least three people who were killed in the crash, according to his music talent agency. Company officials said Billboard said that the plane was wearing other passengers that have not yet been identified, but no one survived.

The plane could hold between eight and ten people, but the authorities did not say how many people on board the aircraft are on board at that time. However, the authorities confirmed that all injuries were on site.

The aircraft seemed to have destroyed at least one house, so it charred and collapsed. About 10 to 15 houses and half a dozen vehicles also suffered damage, and it took several hours to extinguish the flames.

When asked where the aircraft carriers spread, the deputy fire chief Dan Eddy found that it was “everywhere” and there was a “very large” rubble field.

The disaster, which took place in particularly foggy weather, led to the evacuation of a house in the neighborhood, which mainly serves members of the military service.

The crash let a steady stream of jet fuel ran down the street and let several cars catch fire, said Eddy. Scott Wahl, police chief of San Diego, said “almost 100 people” were sold due to the sheer quantity of spilled nozzles and overall destruction. The authorities said they hoped that people could return to their houses by Thursday evening.

It was also not immediately known, which led to the crash, even though the national transportation Safety Board examined a “cut” power line in the area in which the aircraft may have been beaten.

The flight came from the middle west, the authorities said. According to the flight tracking, the aircraft was arrived at Montgomery-Gibbs Airport in San Diego at 3:47 a.m., who comes from James James Jabara Airport from Little Colonel James Jabara in Wichita, Kansas.

Officials at Kansas Airport said it was a petrol station there. The flight was created on Wednesday evening in Teterboro, New Jersey, according to Flight Award.

Hours after the disaster, chunks of metal remained from the plane across the street without a clear body of the aircraft visible. The fiery episodes with cars in flames and thick gray smoke that rose from the neighborhood were shocked by the locals.

“It was definitely terrible, but sometimes they just have to drop their heads and come to safety,” said Christopher Moore, who lives a street from the crash site from the crash site.

Shapiro, the only person identified among the deceased, was an enthusiastic pilot with over a decade of flying. It was not immediately clear whether he flew by plane or whether he was a passenger. According to the Billboard report, he was also known as Daredevil in the music industry.

“We are destroyed by the loss of our co -founder, colleagues and friends,” said a spokesman for the Sound Talent Group to Billboard. “Our hearts go to their families and everyone who is affected by today's tragedy. Thank you for respecting your privacy at that time.”

From the grassroots, to air flies to helicopters to two engines, which show it for Dave to promote his own training as long as he can be in the sky, ”says his aviation website.

Shapiro, who worked with bands such as sum 41 and Pierce The Veil, was also a convincing supporter of independent music. He started his own agency with Tim Borror and Matt Anderson in 2018.
