Plane Crashes Into Southern California Home, Killing 5 - Emma Hancock

Plane Crashes Into Southern California Home, Killing 5

On February 3rd, 2019 a small plane crashed into a house with 4 members inside, who were all killed in the event. The pilot was also killed in the crash, investigators are unsure if there was a motive or of the relationship between the family and pilot. Some neighbors were injured from debris and remains from the plane, but the family and pilot were the only deceased. The neighbors alerted each other after hearing a high pitched, bomb-like sound to ensure safety and precaution.

This event is worrying to the citizens around this crash, it is unclear of what happened to cause the crash. If it was the pilot's fault, maybe there should be more precautions to take before allowing small planes to be driven, how could this have been prevented? Small planes could start to rise questions of who is allowed to run them and when they are allowed. If this was just a matter of a motive behind the crash from the pilot, it is a tragedy and there really isn't much to stop this from happening besides inspecting mental health for pilots. This event is similar to a plane crash that happened in Connecticut in 2013, these small crashes happen once every couple years and it is worrying that they can cause death, but accidents happen.
