Just before 2:00 pm local time on Sunday, a small aircraft crashed into a home in Yorba Linda, California, United States resulting in two house fires. A home security camera filmed the plane as it fell, showing it had broken up into flaming fragments while in flight. Eyewitnesses report a ground shaking impact.
“It was a boom, pop. I run outside thinking somebody hit my daughter’s car,” said Laurie Stockstill, who saw the crash. “I look up. I see this huge piece. I don’t know what it was. You can just watch it in slow motion. Then I see a big cloud of smoke go up. Oh my God, it was just awful. By the time I got from here to my backyard, the house was just burning.”
Videos uploaded to Twitter show damaged homes and pieces of the plane strewn across several lawns. The center of the plane impacted the ground mostly intact, preserving the plane’s registration number, N414BS. The craft was an 8 seat dual engine Cesna, which had recently landed in Fullerton Airport. While official reports have not yet been released, the breakup of the aircraft appears to have happened shortly after its scheduled takeoff.
