I used to live in downtown San Diego and it always scared me how low the planes would fly near downtown

Someone needs to make sure 225 is ok.
He’s in the San Diego, isn’t he?

Kinda early to flying a small, business jet...
Doesn't everyone in tOT use a private jet to leave the bar?

CFIT controlled flight into terrain will likely be the finding. A subset of pilot error.
Based on the article, I suspect you’re right…

Eddy said it was very foggy at the time the private plane crashed. “You could barely see in front of you," he said.

Pilot understood how bad visibility was and that they were at minimums. Told atc he’s gonna give it a shot anyway..

Here is the ATC if anyone wants to listen.
if they were doing an RNAV approach and had a bad altimeter setting, significantly off the actual setting, the airplane could have been way low on the glide path even though it would have been indicating that they were right on it in the cockpit, and could have been out of the EGPWS protection window, just speculation because I just finished work and haven't really seen anything but this thread yet

Looks like pilot error. He was below the minimums (altitude) for the airport and the plane wasn't certified for the type of approach he was taking. The tower was closed and the automated weather service for this airport is broken. The visibility was likely 1/2 a mile and the minimums are 3/4 of a mile. You could hear him keying the mic over and over trying to turn the run way lights on which means he couldn't see them. The flight was almost seven hours so he was likely fatigued.
