Aircraft crash by Simi Valley: The examination continues to crash, in which the pilot, passenger and dogs were dead

Simi Valley, California (KABC) – An examination is ongoing on Sunday after two people and a dog were killed in a plane crash in the Simi Valley.

The plane fell in two houses in the 200 Block of the High Meadow Street in the Wood Ranch region at around 2 p.m.

The pilot of the small single-engine aircraft, a passenger and a dog died in the crash, confirmed the Simi Valley police authority.

A small plane crashed in a quarter of Simi Valley and caused a fire on Saturday afternoon. The police confirmed that there were two people and a dog on board.

It was cloudy when Lancaster's aircraft drove out and went to Camarillo. The flight route of the aircraft shows that it took a curve when he reached the Wood Ranch.

An investigator of the National Transportation Safety Board explained what they concentrate on in the study and said they “had a lot to do”.

The authorities have not published the names of the two people who died.

In the meantime, the High Meadow Street is open again, but two families will be sold for the foreseeable future for the foreseeable future. Fortunately, no residents were injured.

The couple who lives in the house and had the greatest damage looked down the plane and just got out in time. They told Eyewitness News that they noticed that the plane almost flew on the side and turned to the ground.

The family's ring camera has captured an explosion and flames that come from the back of the house in an impact.

“I came to the patio door to warn her, and then I heard the bang, then I turned around, it was almost outside,” said homeowner Arman Hovakemian. “The hose was there, so I grabbed the hose because I saw the fire on the plane, and then I saw the fire in the house. I held the hose on the plane and then he just exploded, so I dropped it and said: 'I have to withdraw because I could smell a lot of Bas and fuel.”

From Air7 video above the scene, they could hardly see the actual aircraft itself, which is reported as a homemade kit aircraft. A lonely tire was the only distinguishable part that was distributed between the terrace furniture of the house.

The NTSB says that it is now finished to remove the small pieces of the aircraft that are scattered around the home owner's courtyard.

“We will look at the occupants on board, the pilots, the machine, the aircraft cell itself, the aircraft, an RV-10, and the environment,” said the investigators of NTSB Air Safety, Michael Hicks.

The NTSB says it wants to understand what the pilot saw and endured before the plane went down. The investigators will look at the maintenance records, air traffic communication and the training of the pilot.

The Hovakemian family said at Eyewitness News that they stay in the house of a relative and work with their insurance company to find out the next steps.

The full examination of the crash could take up to 18 months.
