Small Plane Crashes Into Ocean Off San Diego Coast, Killing All 6 Aboard
- A twin-engine Cessna 414 went down in the ocean near Point Loma, close to San Diego, at approximately 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, resulting in the deaths of all six individuals aboard.
- The plane, owned by Optimal Health Systems but sold to private individuals in 2023, was returning to Phoenix after departing Arizona the previous day amid foggy weather.
- Before the crash, the pilot reported trouble maintaining heading and altitude near 1,000 feet, made distress calls, turned twice toward shore, and then lost radar contact as the plane went down.
- A local surfer observed the plane plunge nose-first into the ocean at a rapid pace and noted that shortly after the splash, complete silence fell. Search teams later discovered wreckage in approximately 200 feet of water.
- This crash follows another fatal Cessna accident weeks earlier near San Diego, and investigators from the FAA and NTSB are examining both events without currently identifying causes or occupants.
