    Several people on the plane were killed when they crashed in San Diego's Murphy Canyon area before 4am Thursday.

    The crash happened near Skullpin Street north of the city, near Montgomery Gibbs Executive Airport, where the plane was landing. No one on the ground was injured, but about 15 homes were damaged.

    The plane can accommodate eight to ten people, but it's still unclear how many people are on board, San Diego Fire Chief Dan Eddie said at a press conference.

    context

    With increasing reports of plane crash crashes across the US, customers wondered if flights were safe.

    The National Transportation Safety Board has recorded 295 aviation accidents this year, of which 57 are fatal. The accident includes small planes and large flights, including a helicopter crash on the Hudson River in New York in April.

    What do you know

    In a social media post, local government confirmed crashes on the plane and said emergency services are responding.

    “We are dealing with crashes of planes in the Skull Pin Street and Sant Road areas,” the San Diego Police Department said in an Instagram post.

    “Please avoid this area to allow emergency crews to work safely.”

    Skull Pin Street is located near Montgomery Gibbs, Gillespie Field and three of the city's busiest San Diego International Airport.

    During a press conference, authorities said at least 15 homes have been affected by crash crashes, and several homes are on fire in crash crashes. The plane was heading towards Montgomery Gibbs Executive Airport.

    Authorities said no one was transported to be injured from the crash site.

    “We have jet fuel everywhere,” Fire Chief Assistant Dan Eddie told reporters. “Our main goal is to search all these houses and kick everyone out now.”

    The Federal Aviation Administration has confirmed that the crashed vehicle is a Cessna 550 aircraft, a small 50-foot jet with a capacity of eight people.

    Authorities also said no one on the ground was injured in the crash crash, but several passengers were on private jets.

    What people are saying

    Fire Chief Assistant Dan Eddie said at a press conference:

    “You can see that all single cars are burning on either side of the street.”

    San Diego Police Chief Scott Wall said, “We can't put any words to describe what the scene looks like, but it was pretty scary to watch as jet fuel is down the street and everything is on fire at once.”

    What will happen next

    Authorities say more information will become available as the investigation continues. The FAA said the National Traffic Safety Commission will lead the investigation.
