San Diego: The six people on board a small aircraft, which collapsed in a California district in the middle of dense fog, all were killed, according to the investigative authorities.

The Cessna 550 quote, which show federal notes, collapsed the music agent Dave Shapiro on Thursday at 3:47 a.m. (1047 GMT), according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).

It was not immediately clear what led to the Cessna storming into the Murphy Canyon district, about 3.2 kilometers from Montgomery-Gibbs Airport, where the plane was led.

In an audio recording that was published on the LiveAtc.net air traffic website, the pilot can be asked for weather conditions before relegation, pointing out that the visibility is due to a minimum.

“It doesn't sound great, but we'll try it,” said the pilot.

When the plane fell down, it cut off a power line and the effects of the crash exposed several nearby houses and vehicles that awake awake before dawn.

“The pilot and passengers were fatally injured,” NTSB investigator Dan Baker told a press conference on Friday. He added that nobody had been seriously injured on the ground.

While Baker does not indicate the number of deaths, the US federal air administration management previously said that the private aircraft had six people on board.

The San Diego County Medical Examiner office described three of the victims as Shapiro (42), Emma Huke (25) and Celina Kenyon (36).

Music veteran Shapiro was a co -founder of the Sound Talent Group, the artists Hanson, sum 41, modern baseball and Vanessa Carlton on his squad.

“We are destroyed by the loss of our co -founder, colleagues and friends.

NBC7 identified the others as software engineer Dominic Damian and Daniel Williams, a former drummer of the metalcore band The Devil Wears Prada.

“No words. We owe everything to you. Love yourself forever,” the band wrote in a tribute to Williams on Instagram.

According to her social media, Kenyon was professional photographer and mother. Her father, Bryan Charles Feldman, said NBC7 that she decided to fly home with friends early after a photo shoot, instead of taking an advertising wire so that she could bring her daughter to school the next day.

At least 10 houses in the Murphy Canyon district in San Diego were hit by rubble, while the street was littered with charred remains, scattered fiber optic and jet fuel.

According to the responding police and firefighters, eight people were treated for minor injuries.

The NTSB said that the pilot had not reported any problems for the air traffic control or declared an emergency before trying to land.

The plane was not equipped with a flight data recorder.

“At this point we are trying to determine whether the aircraft was equipped with a cockpit language recorder,” said Baker.

The NTSB said its preliminary investigation would take several weeks.
