Cessna plane crashes into Pacific Ocean near San Diego with six dead

Six people died on Sunday when a small plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean near San Diego. The aircraft, a 1970 Cessna 414, had just taken off from San Diego International Airport. It was heading to Phoenix when problems began shortly after takeoff. The plane went down near Point Loma, off the California coast. All six people on board were killed, including the pilot and five passengers. The Cessna 414 is a twin-engine plane commonly used to carry passengers. The aircraft had been sold to a private owner in 2023. Before that, it belonged to Optimal Health Services, a company based in Pima, Arizona. Audio from air traffic control was recorded in the final moments before the crash.
