Cessna Crash at San Diego Airport | Portland Maine News

A small Cessna crashed back onto the runway at Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport in San Diego just after takeoff, killing two on board. Firefighters quickly contained the blaze and fuel leak as emergency crews responded. The NTSB is investigating, calling it a potential “go-around” scenario where the pilot may have attempted to land again. Flight data, cockpit recordings, and maintenance logs are being reviewed, with witness accounts and video footage sought. The plane, registered in Idaho, forced a temporary airport shutdown — now reopened — while cleanup crews tackle the jet fuel spill. Families, responders, and aviation experts await answers as the probe continues. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
