Another multiple fatality jet crash. The tower was closed. Thanks Duffy!
It appears to be a Citation 500 that took off from NJ, stopped in KS for fuel and continued onto San Diego Montgomery Airport before crashing into a canyon full of homes due low ceilings. Fortunately, it appears no one on the ground was killed.

A small plane crashed into a San Diego military housing neighborhood on Thursday morning, killing multiple individuals on the plane, officials confirmed.
Addressing reporters at the site of the crash, San Diego Fire-Rescue Department Assistant Chief Dan Eddy said that the plane struck about 15 homes, causing multiple homes and cars to catch fire.
“I just walked it myself, and down the street itself, it looks like something from a movie,” Eddy said Thursday morning.
Addressing reporters for a second time Thursday morning, Eddy said that more than one person was killed in the crash, but that all of the fatalities were among the plane’s passengers.
He said that the plane could have sat eight to 10 people, including the pilot, but that officials did not know how many people were on the plane when it crashed. The plane appeared to be a Cessna private jet, he added.
“We do believe we have multiple fatalities, but we’re going to have to go through and take our time and ensure that’s exactly what we have,” he said.
Eddy added that there were not fatalities from the homes the plane crash destroyed.
