Coast Guard Suspends Search for 6 After Plane Crashes Into Ocean Off San Diego
- A twin-engine Cessna 414 crashed into the Pacific Ocean near Point Loma, roughly three miles offshore, on Sunday afternoon, resulting in the deaths of all six individuals on board.
- The plane departed from San Diego’s airport on a flight to Phoenix, Arizona, but air traffic controllers grew concerned when it did not ascend as expected and attempted to redirect it before it ultimately crashed.
- The U.S. Coast Guard, joined by Customs, Border Protection, San Diego Lifeguards, and Harbor Police, conducted a two-day search spanning over 300 square miles before suspending efforts on Tuesday morning.
- Lt. Justin Brooks acknowledged the difficulty involved in deciding to halt the search effort, while the wreckage remains submerged at approximately 200 feet, with the NTSB continuing to lead the investigation.
- The suspension reflects the difficulty in recovering the plane and victims, and investigators will now analyze eyewitness reports and surveillance with a preliminary report expected about a month from now.
