The family escapes a fiery plane crash in the San Diego district

A family of four and their pets barely escape after a small plane crashed directly into their house in San Diego and destroyed everything on his way.

The Cessna 550 aircraft fell off the sky and hit Ben and Srujiana McCarty's living room in the neighborhood of Murphy Canyon and created a fireball that illuminated the night sky.

“I woke up for a loud explosion. My wife screamed and she is like a fire,” said Ben McCarty.

The couple immediately grabbed their children and pets as if flames devoured their home.

“Everything I could see was fire. The roof of the house was still on fire. You could see the night sky from our living room,” said McCarty.

The family desperately searched for an escape route.

“We couldn't get out in front of our house. We tried to remove the back door, but unfortunately the side gate leads forward and I could see that the debris was on fire right there so that we couldn't even open it to get out,” said McCarty.

Fortunately, they found another exit point, and the neighbors hurried to help, brought a ladder and cleared a way to safety.

“We brought the children over the fence and then I jumped over the fence. They brought a ladder and we got the dogs and he finally climbed to the other side,” said McCarty.

The crash destroyed the house in which they had lived for three years and everything in it. The family thought about the cruel irony of the situation.

“We and our children sat on our veranda and we looked up and my sons were always excited and said that the plane passed the planes and ironically exactly where we were sitting where this plane was hit,” said McCarty.

McCarty emphasized that material possessions cannot be replaced by his family. When asked if they would ever return at home, his answer was finally.

“Absolutely not. I won't live over this airline again – it will be difficult to sleep at night,” said McCarty.
