The National Transportation Safety Board said that the officials would work next year to determine an official reason for the aircraft crashing.

Dan Eddy, deputy head of the San Diego fire brigade, said the fog was so thick in the morning that “they could hardly see them in front of them”.

The former investigator of NTSB and FAA crash investigator Jeff Guzzetti said he thinks that the dense fog and tiredness of the pilot had flown all night.

“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 to which the crew could have started.”

He said pilots have to check the FAA posts, which are referred to as communications, to planes that draw the pilots aware of problems such as landing lights.

“It is fairly easy for the pilot to get this information and you have to receive this information before every flight he takes,” said Guzzetti.

Just a few hours before the tragedy, the 39 -year -old Williams had recorded his trip from New Jersey to California in Posts on Instagram.

An eerie photo took the Cessna 550 at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey late Wednesday evening when he got into flight and marked Shapiro in the picture.
