Small Plane Crash Kills Multiple Passengers San Diego

A small private jet crashed into the Murphy Canyon military housing complex in San Diego, California, early Thursday morning, killing multiple passengers aboard while sparing residents on the ground from fatalities. The Cessna 550 jet, which can carry eight to ten people, struck about 15 homes and ignited fires that destroyed numerous cars and damaged over 10 homes. Emergency officials evacuated nearly 100 people due to jet fuel spills and ongoing hazards, while hazmat teams and drones assisted in the search and containment efforts. Although the exact number of passengers on board remains unclear, all confirmed fatalities were among them, with no serious injuries reported among local residents. Investigators are examining whether a damaged power line contributed to the crash. San Diego officials expressed condolences and commended first responders for their prompt actions in managing the incident.
