Federal investigator Kammort of the San Diego plane crash in the neighborhood of military apartments

The Weather Alert System and the runway lights did not work on a foggy airport in San Diego, where a private jet landed before the crash.

According to Dan Baker, this is from the National Transportation Safety Board. He said that the investigators did not set a cause for the crash on Thursday.

He says the weather warning system on the Montgomery GibBS Executive Airport is on the time of the crash due to a non-related electricity. He says that the pilot received weather information from the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar about four miles north.

The run lights were also below.

The plane fell about two miles from the airport.

The investigators of the federal government comb a day after a private jet on Friday who brought a music manager with him and five others crashed there and were accepted there. As if by a miracle, everyone came safely on the floor, said officials, including a family of four who had fled with their dogs after the plane torn down the roof of their house and swallowed up in flames.

The music talent agent Dave Shapiro and two unnamed employees of the music agency, which he co-founded by the sound talent group, were among the dead together with the former drummer of the metal band The Devil Wears Prada. Shapiro, 42, had a pilot license and was listed as the owner of the Cessna 550 quote from 1985, which was plowed into the neighborhood of the US Navy Housing shortly before Thursday at 4 a.m.

The crash added a long list of aviation disasters this year. This includes a collision in the middle, in which 67 people were killed near Washington, DC in January, an aircraft, an aircraft that was dropped into the Hudson River between New York City and New Jersey in February and a sightseeing helicopter in February, and killed six people in the Hudson River between New York City and New Jersey.

Federal civil servants have tried to reassure travelers that flying is the safest means of transport to support the statistics. However, a cascade of aviation breakdowns has increasing attention.

The Shapiro aircraft tried to land on Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport in foggy weather when it was 3.2 kilometers southeast of the airfield, Elliot Simpson from the National Transportation Safety Board, power lines.

The flight started from Teterboro, New Jersey, near Manhattan, on Wednesday at 11:15 p.m. and made a fuel stop in Wichita, Kansas before he drove to San Diego. This schedule for overnight stays would not be permitted for a airline for the federal occupation residues, but these regulations do not apply to private aircraft.

The former investigator of the NTSB and the FAA crash investigator Jeff Guzzetti said that he thinks the dense fog and the tiredness after Shapiro had flown all night were probably factors in the crash.

“This accident has all the ear markers of a classic attempt to approach an airport in really bad weather and poor visibility,” said Guzzetti. “And there were other airports that the crew could have been going.”

Fragments of the level were found under power lines that are about half a block away from the houses. It then lost a wing on the street directly behind the houses. Guzzetti said that even if the plane had missed the power lines, it may have fallen over because it was too low in the fog.

A terrible elevator The crash point shows more damage to the front of these houses, including a smashed landscape building and a burned truck that was parked on the other side of the street and pushed into the living room of the owner's house before it caught fire.

Ben McCarty and his wife, who lived in the house who was hit, said they felt everywhere around them after they had been woken up by an explosion.

“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, who has been working in the Navy for 13 years, to the local ABC subsidiary KGTV.

Flames blocked many of the outputs, so that they packed their children and dogs and fight their backs, but the burning debris blocked the gate, so that the neighbors helped them climb over their fence to escape.

“We jumped over the fence and then over the fence. They brought a ladder and we have the dogs,” said McCarty.

In the meantime, the fiery jet fuel rolled down the block and inflamed everything in his way from trees to plastic waste containers to the car for the car.

McCartys at home was the only one that was destroyed, even though another 10 residences had suffered damage, the authorities said. Eight inhabitants were brought to the hospital for smoke inhalation and injuries that were not life -threatening, including a person who was injured from a window, said policewoman Anthony Carrasco.

McCarty said his family enjoyed living under the flight path so that they could walk the planes above us.

“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.

Now he wants to move.

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

It could have worsened a lot that investigators collect evidence to determine what happened.

“In view of the fact that it happened in a densely populated suburb and the time of day, to which most people sleep at home, it is surprising that there were no deaths on the ground,” said Rod Sullivan, a transport manager.

But Guzzetti said that, in his experience, there are often no deaths on the ground when an aircraft drops in a residential area, unless people are exactly where the plane hits.

The crash of a medical transport flight into a quarter in Philadelphia in January shows what can happen if there is a direct hit in a populated area. Two people died on the ground and about two dozen others were injured when this plane hit the ground and caught fire. Six people also died.

At least 100 residents of the quarter of San Diego were evacuated and the officials said it was unclear when it would be safe for people to return. On Friday, some residents were brought back to their homes to get the essentials like their military ID cards to return to bases after they had left them in a hurry to escape.

The crash on Thursday comes only weeks after a similar one in South California.

A small plane plunged into a quarter in the Simi -Valley on May 3 and killed both humans and a dog on board the aircraft and lit two houses, but nobody was injured on the floor, although the residents were in the residence at that time. The community is located almost 80 kilometers northwest of Los Angeles.

In October 2021, a twin plane plowed a suburb of San Diego, who killed the pilot and an ups delivery driver on the floor and burning houses.
