Three Die as Plane Hits California Neighborhood


A small twin-engine plane crashed into a California neighborhood on Wednesday morning. All three people on board the plane were killed. There were no more reported deaths. All three of the victims on board the plane were employees of Telsa Motors, which is a luxury electric car company. The Cessna 310 took off from an airport and hit some power lines that were 60-foot in the air. This entanglement instantly forced the plane down into the nearby neighborhood. 4 homes were damaged from the crash, and two had fire damage. On top of the deaths and the damage to the homes, the crash also caused a massive power outage in the area. The plane hit a transmission tower during the crash which caused 28,000 customers to lose their electricity.


This is a very tragic event. Three people were killed, and four other families lost their homes during this crash. Even though this event was very unfortunate, I am thankful that it wasn't a lot worse. The people that were in the houses could have been killed, instead of just having ruined houses. There is no way to prepare for an airplane crash in your neighborhood. My condolensces go out to all the families that were affected by the crash, especially the families of the victims who died.
