They’re saying there are “injuries on the ground.” I assume that means of persons not aboard the aircraft.
It’s a fairly substantial airplane, a Cessna 414A. Twin engine, 300 hp each, pressurized, go for around $300K+ used. Empty weight around 4400 lbs.
Location seems to be the home at 19941 Crestknoll Drive. Aircraft landed on rear roof of the home, coming on a path from west to east. Large hole in roof of home, much fire damage. If anyone was in that upstairs room, they could have been very badly injured.
Two deceased, two hospitalized.
Propellor, other debris landed in driveway and front of house 250 feet west of impact house. Aircraft must have been disintegrating in the air, looks like prop and other engine parts hit separated. Pretty severe damage to front of house, no fire though.
One wing was off and in the street. Guy was putting out fire on it with garden hose.
One house burned, took off from Fullerton.
I contacted him...and he knows a guy with a plane like that....but he does not know if it's the same guy.
Catastrophic engine failure and fire took wing off plane before pilot could affect an emergency landing. Reported by one source an emergency was declared to the tower by pilot. Witnesses on ground describe plane on fire and one wing separating from aircraft followed by flight departure and wing over and crash into neighborhood. Debris on ground shows one wing and engine and propeller on the ground in the opposite direction of flight path into the house that it hit and hundreds of yards away matching witness description of inflight fire and breakup. Prayers for families of all affected by accident.
Exceeded Vne (Velocity never exceed; wings came off) and possibly ‘blew’ engine; over-rev heard in the audio from the video of the driveway ...
