A small plane carrying six people is feared lost after crashing into the ocean off Sunset Cliffs in San Diego. The Cessna 414 took off from San Diego International Airport but struggled for altitude shortly after departure, leading to distress calls from the pilot. Rescuers found debris and an oil sheen in the ocean, but conditions proved challenging for locating survivors. The aircraft, owned previously by a nutritional supplement company, remained under their registration despite being sold, adding complexity to the incident's background.
A search continues for a small plane with six presumed dead after it crashed off Sunset Cliffs shortly after the pilot reported control issues.
The pilot's last transmission, a desperate "Mayday," indicated he was unable to maintain altitude before crashing into the ocean.
San Diego lifeguards and Coast Guard have found debris and an oil sheen but have reported no survivors amidst challenging search conditions.
Records indicate the Cessna was previously owned by a nutritional supplement company, with the aircraft still registered to them despite a two-year-old sale.
