Six killed as plane plunges into ocean off San Diego

A Cessna 414 traveling from San Diego International Airport, CA (SAN/KSAN) to Phoenix-Sky Harbor International Airport, AZ (PHX/KPHX) crashed into the ocean on Monday, about three miles west of Point Loma, shortly after takeoff from San Diego International Airport California. 

The aircraft took off from runway 27 at San Diego at 12:25 local (19:25 UTC) on a flight to Phoenix-Sky Harbor. After receiving instructions to turn to a heading of 180 after departure, the pilot radioed that he struggled to maintain heading and altitude. ADS-B data show that the aircraft entered a sharp descending left turn, losing 1900 feet in 13 seconds. The aircraft began to climb again, but ADS-B data show an erratic altitude and heading until the moment the aircraft impacted the surface of the water, six minutes after it had commenced the takeoff roll.

Sadly, the pilot and five passengers were killed. A debris field was located in the water.
