A small plane crashed in Fullerton, California, Thursday, killing two people and injuring 19 others. The pilot had requested an emergency landing shortly after takeoff, but the plane went down through the roof of a furniture manufacturing building. Audio from air traffic control captures panicked moments before the crash.
The pilot of a small plane attempted to make an emergency landing shortly after takeoff before crashing through the roof of a building in Southern California, according to air traffic control audio that includes panicked gasping and a female voice saying,'Oh my God,' moments before the crash. The crash Thursday left two people dead and 19 injured. The plane was owned by Pascal Reid of Huntington Beach, California, according to Federal Aviation Administration records.
The Huntington Beach High School girls soccer team posted Friday on Instagram that Reid and his daughter Kelly, a student at the school, died in a plane crash.'Yesterday our soccer family suffered an unimaginable loss,' the post read.'Kelly was a natural caregiver and always put others first. She will be deeply missed. Her father was at every single game, always so proud of his daughter.'The plane had just taken off from the Fullerton Municipal Airport when the pilot told the air traffic control tower,'Immediate landing required.' The pilot initially told the air traffic controller that he planned to land on Runway 6. The air traffic controller then told another aircraft to turn away from that area and told the pilot he could land on either Runway 6 or 24. The pilot responded that he was going to land on Runway 24 instead. Moments later, panicked gasping and an'Oh my God' could be heard just before the audio went quiet. Federal investigators said the aircraft asked for a return to the airport at about 900 feet (274 metres). It crashed about 1,000 feet (305 metres) short of Runway 24, through a sprawling furniture manufacturing building owned by Michael Nicholas Designs. According to a preliminary Federal Aviation Administration report, the aircraft crashed under'unknown circumstances.
