Yeah, I'm gonna call BS on the witness' account that the plane "blew up" in the sky. |

Which witness are you calling BS on? Here are 2 different witnesses.
Quote: | A neighbor told KTLA he saw the plane blow up "about 100 feet off the ground."
"I come out... it's raining plane parts from the sky," Jared Bocachica told the affiliate station. |
Quote: | One neighbor, Tony Tomminelli, said he heard an explosion from up above.
"I walked outside and I look up and I just see debris flying everywhere. Part of a plane, which I guess eventually was the motor, flew down into the garage like a torpedo - just hit the garage and blew up," he said.
He ended up sliding down the hillside to try and help. |
There's also video of the plane actually exploding then burning up in the sky: https://nypost.com/video/five-killed-when-plane-crashes-into-california-home/
Quote: | A small Cessna 414a reportedly exploded in midair and crashed into a house, killing the pilot and four people inside the structure. |

Metal fatigue, ruptured fuel line, you can go on and on....private planes are much more dangerous to fly than commercial airlines. |

I read somewhere this morning that the engine was overheating and he tried to land but the engine blew
Could he have cut the engine and had a better effect?
Authorities waited for the fire to burn out to look for more bodies
He had just taken off iirc so that plane was probably full of fuel
no way to die |

Yes, cutting the thing that keeps the plane in the air would have been the right thing to do. _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” ― Elie Wiesel |

Airspeed is life......cutting off the engine would just make the plane drop like a rock. Either way seems like the plane was doomed. |

That's some final destination level stuff. To be sitting/sleeping in your house and a plane come crashing into you. So sad. |

Looks like debris from the plane ruptured a gas line in the home which is why it went up in flames so quick. Saw pictures of the the plane that hit the ground with the pilot and it looked relatively intact. |

Well done by the driver to capture that video, that was nuts...it did appear to explode while still in the air. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |
