Witnesses tell the race for survival after the neighborhood rose on flames after a fatal aircraft crash in San Diego

San Diego (KABC) – The inhabitants of San Diego, who were woken out of their sleep by an incredible explosion and fire everywhere after a fatal plane crash on Thursday morning.

The investigators of the San Diego fire brigade said they do not believe that someone on board the aircraft survived the crash.

The crash occurred in the middle of the night in a residential street in the Quiet San Diego district of Murphy Canyon, the largest quarter of the motorhomes in the country in the country.

“I woke up and looked out of the window and it is fire in front of my house,” said Jessica Schrader. “The gate goes straight to the front yard and there was a dead pilot in my front yard.”

The beaten house was destroyed, with the front being burned heavily and his roof collapsed, and about 10 more were damaged, officials said.

Ben McCarty and his wife, who lived in the house who was hit, said they felt heated everywhere.

“My wife screamed and she says: 'There is a fire',” said McCarty, who has served in the navy for 13 years.

When he went to the front of the house, he saw that the roof had fallen off and flames blocked its exit. They packed their children and dogs and ran backwards where their neighbors helped them climb over their fence to escape.

The plane also hit both vehicles of the couple who were burning.

“It brought my truck to our living room,” said McCarty.

Panic took over the neighborhood, not only because they had no idea what happened, but also because they didn't know how they would escape.

“I try to find out how to flee with my children, and I am how to let go and I call the police and I collect everyone and we couldn't get out,” said one of the residents.

Other vehicles along the block were melted and burned into burned shells. A stubborn car fire sent smoke for hours.

Ariya Waterworth said she woke up to a “Whooshing noise” and then saw a huge fireball outside. She screamed for help when firefighters arrived and helped her get out with her two children and her family dog.

One of the family's cars was “completely decomposed” and the other had extensive damage. Her farm was covered with aircraft parts, broken glass and rubble.

“I definitely feel blessed because we are spared,” she said.

At least 100 inhabitants were evacuated. Hours after the crash, Jet fuel rolled down the Salmon Street. The smell of damps remained all day long, and the officials said it was unclear when it would be certain for people to return.

After all, these neighbors, many of them stationed in a nearby military base, took action in action and secured everyone safely to get out.

“I ran, reached for the ladder, came back, threw the ladder over the fence and started to help get the woman out.”

Tamon Wilks, a service member, told Eyewitness News that the pilot was as bad as he looked what he could to avoid an even greater tragedy.

“He saw that something went wrong and tried the loss as best he could,” said Wilks.

Schrader said she was grateful that you made it safe.

“We are all sure and my dogs are safe, so thank God,” she said.

The examination of what has caused the fatal plane crash continues.
