Witnesses described a retired couple being rescued from one of two homes that were destroyed in Santee, a largely residential suburb of 50,000 people. Ten other homes were damaged.

Several vehicles, including a delivery truck, were also torched.

Andrew Pelloth, 30, was working from home when he heard a whirring and then a huge boom.

The plane was a twin-engine Cessna C340, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

It was believed to be a private aircraft flying from Yuma, Arizona, to Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport in San Diego, Matsushita said. It was unknown how many were on board, but Mastushita said no one would have survived.

Wow, what a tragedy, death from the sky.

This Cessna is a fairly large plane.

... to Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport in San Diego...

When I heard Santee, I thought it would have been related to Gillespie Field.

Judging the amount of flames after the crash, it carried a full compliment of fuel.

He doesn’t follow the controllers vectors or altitudes.

Sounds like a medical emergency, maybe? He is slurred and not responding correctly.

Santee, not far from El Cajon, which has earned the nickname, “Little Baghdad” as the place is now crawling with Muslims.

Cockpit video. Looks like he streamed his own crash?

Almost sounds like it was intentional. Unless I’m missing some audio.

To me, he sounds confused. Low blood sugar? Lack of oxygen?
