FAA says that there were 6 people on the board aircraft that crashed in Murphy Canyon

San Diego (KGTV) – A small plane fell in Murphy Canyon in San Diego near Tierasanta early Thursday morning, which led to an important emergency reaction that included the evacuation of military resident.

The FAA says that six people were on board the aircraft; ABC News reported from 2:30 p.m. that they were all feared for dead. According to a report by The Associated Press, three of the Sound Talent Group on board on board were on board, including co -founder Dave Shapiro.

The police authority in San Diego says eight people were injured on site and around 100 inhabitants were evacuated.

In a press conference at 1:30 p.m., the National Transportation Safety Board confirmed that the traffic control tower at the Montgomery-GibBS Executive Airport was closed at the time of the crash. However, the officer of the public affairs found that a closure occurs quite frequently at this hour on small airports like this.

The crash was reported shortly before 3:50 a.m. in the 10000 block of the Street trial near the Salmon Street and west of the Admiral Baker Golf Course, according to the incident log of the California Highway Patrol.

Elliott Simpson from the NTSB confirmed that the jet at 11:15 p.m. from Teterboro, New Jersey, from the east time of Teterboro, in Wichita, Kansas, for fuel before he drove to San Diego.

In a press conference shortly after sunrise, the deputy head of San Diego, the deputy deputy head Dan Eddy, said that the plane that was identified as Cessna 550 was probably on the way to Montgomery Field when it was lost for unknown reasons.

Eddy recognized the foggy conditions in the region at that time, but he was not sure whether the weather played a role in the crash.

Eddy said at least 10 houses were affected by the crash and he confirmed: “There is a direct hit in several houses.” Eddy also said that Jet fuel and subsequent fires have destroyed every vehicle parked on the street.

On the X Thursday morning, the San Diego police said that around 10 buildings were damaged and that the evacuations and road closures are still present. NTSB reacted to the scene. The authorities ask you to call 619-531-2000 if you find rubble or jet fuel.

When Eddy was asked for injuries and deaths, several deaths seemed to come from the plane. The San Diego police said one person was taken to the hospital while two more were treated and released.

NTSB says it found fragments under power lines and a wing on the street while the rest of the wreck was on the street. During the press conference at 1:30 p.m., Simpson said it was too early to say whether the jet hit the power line and whether this caused the widespread damage.

He also said it was unclear how much fuel would have been at the time of the crash in the jet tank.

According to Eddy, all fire associated with the crash

Scott Wahl, police chief of San Diego, said at least 50 officials supported the evacuation efforts. According to the boss, around 100 people were sold.

An official from the Federal Aviation Administration sent ABC 10News the following explanation for crash:

“A Cessna 550 near Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport in California in California, around 3:45 a.m. local time on Thursday, May 22nd, is unknown at this time. The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will carry out the investigations and present all updates.”

NTSB confirmed that the tail number of the aircraft N666DS was. In addition, the agency said that the Jet probably had a flight data recorder, but the investigators have not yet restored.

Simpson said the preliminary report on this crash would come out in two weeks. The next update from the NTSB examination will take place later on Thursday or Friday morning.

ABC 10NEWS received Audio from the flight recordings and the weather tower in Montgomery-Gibbs.

The recording of automated weather observation from the tower was missing crucial information, including heavenly conditions, visibility, wind and more. The flight recording then showed that the pilot was just a few miles away at the nearby Miramar Air Station.

A commercial pilot we spoke to sometimes told us pilots to get a feeling for how the weather is in the nearby area.

Miramar informed the pilot that the conditions there were also suboptimal.

“In order. It doesn't sound good, but we will try,” the pilot was answered in the recording.

Eddy noticed the Salmon Street and the Street rehearsal were the main roads that were affected by the crash. All streets south of the Aero Drive were closed due to the emergency reaction, but until 1:15 p.m. SDPD said that the Taussig Street had reopened.

At 4:21 p.m., SDPD posted on X that the entire Sculpin Street was reopened from Taussig to Lachsig. Two parts of the salmon opened: NB for pouring and the 3100 block to Patriot.

The entire rehearsal road was still closed, as was the salmon section from sculpine to south of the rehearsal. The Santo Road was also closed by SB Aero to Corporal and in both directions to the dead end. SDPD expects these road closures overnight.

A crew for dangerous materials was called to the scene due to the buried jet bracelet. The police asks all residents of regions to call 619-531-2000 if they smell jet fuel or locate dirt.

According to Caltrans, the Interstate 15-off ramps were shut down north to Aero Drive. The off-ramp was reopened at 8:30 a.m.

All lanes towards the south of the Santo Road were closed on the Aero Drive due to the emergency reaction.

ABC 10NEWS, which the Hancock Elementary School (3303 Taussig St.) learned, was closed for this day.

The captain of the US Navy, Bob Healy, emphasized during the press conference from 11 a.m. that the military was working to accommodate the families concerned. He pointed out that they “could no longer be in their houses for a while” and said that the navy would temporarily give living space in the meantime.

According to Liberty Military Housing, the team members were immediately on the premises to help the families who need an accommodation place. The organization also collects clothing, non -perishable foods, gift cards and other donations to help the families concerned.

“We extend our cordial condolences to the families of those on the plane who have lost their lives in this incident,” says Liberty Military Housing.

The Emergency Action Group, which consisted of military support organizations, told ABC 10News that it received an “overwhelming amount” clothing, food, diapers and blankets on the Miller Elementary School for the 50 families who are in need after the crash.

A spokesman for the San Diego Unified School District says that Miller Elementary no longer serves as an evacuation body. The families are now led to the Hancock Elementary School in the 3303 Taussig St. if they need supplies or help by 9 p.m.

From Thursday afternoon, the groups no longer collected supplies.

After the basic needs are covered, the organizations collect financial donations on their websites:

The San Diego Humane Society's emergency team also reacted to the scene and said that so far they have recorded 16 dogs, eight of them. SDHS said they provided the dogs “immediate medical examinations” and gave them as part of a “critical decontamination process” baths.
