A small plane carrying six people crashed off the San Diego coast over the weekend, killing everyone onboard.
The twin-engine Cessna 414 crashed around 12:30 p.m. local time on Sunday a few miles west of Point Loma, one of the oldest seaside communities in San Diego.
The Joint Operations Center, a joint command center for state and federal maritime operations, received the initial report about 15 minutes after the crash.
Searchers from local and federal agencies located a debris field, a region where the remnants of the aircraft laid, as they looked for survivors by air and by sea. The water in the search area is about 200 feet deep, according to a press release from the U.S. Coast Guard.
The presumed fatalities, according to a preliminary report by the FAA, includes five passengers and the pilot. The small plane crashed into the water under "unknown circumstances."
