Crashed into a shopping center parking lot by airport. Nobody on ground was hurt, but all 5 passengers in the plane died.

It hit one parked car.







dashcam footage
quote:



SANTA ANA – Five people were killed Sunday afternoon when a twin-engine aircraft, whose pilot declared an emergency, crashed into a busy parking lot across from the South Coast Plaza shopping center, striking a car whose driver was inside shopping.

All the fatalities were aboard the plane, a Cessna 414 that was on approach to John Wayne Airport, said Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Steve Concialdi from the scene. There were no survivors, he said.

There was no fire, and no one on the ground was reported injured. The owner of one smashed car in the shopping center parking lot was in a store shopping at the time.


Prayers to the five passengers, but based on pics it is miraculous nobody on ground was even injured

Hate to see that and glad nobody else was hurt on the ground. I hate flying in small planes because they make me nervous.

That video is crazy. The wreckage makes it seem like it glided down with some control. The video makes it seem like it fell out of the sky nose down.
