Pilot: I’m losing power quickly. I might have to put it somewhere near Standley.
Air Traffic Control: Let me know if there’s anything I can do.
Pilot: Ahhh, I don’t know what to do. I’ll have to put it in a field somewhere.
“It started to go down, so I started following it, waiting for an impact. That’s when it crashed and then caught fire when it got close to the truck and everything caught fire,” said witness Erick Garcia. CBS News.
Anne has a house at the back of the scene. She was watering the plants around 9:30 a.m. and said she heard the plane before she saw it.
“It sounded like a motorcycle… a motorcycle with a strange sound. I saw the plane hit the tree, it hit the tree and hit the ground… it slid,” she said.
Debris from the plane crash also reached the property of 90-year-old resident Dee Williams. Branches of a tree in her backyard, where she has lived for more than 60 years, were damaged and pieces of the aircraft were scattered.
“I was really shaken by it because it was so close,” Williams said.
Investigators are figuring out the cause of the plane crash by examining the wreckage scattered along Oberon Road, like a puzzle waiting to be solved.
“You don’t expect it…it’s something we don’t want to expect every day,” Garcia said.
