The San Diego plane crash in military apartments leaves at least 3 dead, says the Talenagentur

At least three people are dead and several others are injured after a small plane fell into the military district of San Diego Military Housing in Murphy Canyon early Thursday morning.

At a press conference, San Diego said deputy fire chief Dan Eddy that they are still trying to confirm whether the deaths were people on board the plane.

The music agency Sound Talent Group said that three of its employees were killed in the crash, including its co -founder Dave Shapiro, who is listed as the owner of the aircraft.

“We are on the ground due to the loss of our co -founder, colleagues and friends,” said the company. Our hearts go to their families and everyone who is affected by today's tragedy. Thank you for respecting your privacy at that time. “

The crash with a Cessna 550 aircraft occurred near the Sculpin Street and the Santo Road near the 15 motorway. Captain Bob Heely, commander of the naval base in San Diego, said that the neighborhood in which the accident took place is in the possession of Navy.

The Federal Aviation Administration later confirmed on Thursday that six people were on board the aircraft.

The police authority in San Diego has published evacuations for salmon, sampling and sculpine roads. The Miller Elementary School in the Shields Street 4343 is currently acting as an evacuation body. The primary schools of the Hancock and Miller are closed on Thursday, said the San Diego Unified Police. The police added that the Santo Road to the south on the Aero Drive will be closed for an unknown duration.

“Our city will support these families who are affected here,” said the mayor of San Diego, Todd Gloria. “You are part of the military community that makes up our city.”

After measuring the affected area, the San Diego official said that around 100 people were driven out and that 10 buildings were damaged. The American Red Cross reacted to the incident and helps the families concerned.

A camera crew from the CBS subsidiary KFMB-TV recorded pictures of the destruction, which was left out of the crash, and showed scattered rubble scattered over lawns. Officials explained that Jet fuel left the road from the crash and ignited fire on parked cars.

“I cannot give words to describe what this scene looks like, but with the jet fuel that goes down the street and all at once, it was quite terrible to see,” said Scott Wahl, police chief of San Diego.

Preliminary information from the Federal Aviation Administration said that the plane crashed near the Montgomery Gibbs Airport around 3:45 a.m. when the Crews of the San Diego fire brigade arrived at the scene. They quickly worked on deleting fire in houses and cars.

The flight came from Teterboro Airport in Teterboro, New Jersey, and stopped at Colonel James Jabara in Wichita, Kansas, before driving towards Montgomery-Gibbs Airport in San Diego.

At a press conference in the afternoon, Eliott Simpson from the National Transportation Safety Board said that the aircraft hit the power lines two miles southeast of the airport and then collided with a house. He said there were fragments of the aircraft under the power lines.

From Thursday afternoon it was still not known how many people were on board the aircraft, so that the total number of deaths is not yet known. Simpson said that more investigators arrive on Thursday evening to document the scene of the accident, and it is planned to win the plane back and bring it to a safe place on Saturday.

The FAA and the NTSB examine the cause of the crash. According to the NTSB, a preliminary report will be available in two weeks, with a final report available in 12 to 18 months.
