SANTA ANA — Witnesses watched in horror as a small plane banked low in sunny skies over a Southern California shopping center and then suddenly nosedived, crashing into a parking lot and killing all five people on board.
Ella Pham and her boyfriend were walking across the lot Sunday when they saw the twin-engine Cessna plummet.
“We looked up to see the plane falling nose first,” Pham, 20, told the Los Angeles Times . “It was so heartbreaking just seeing the plane crumbled into pieces.”
The pilot of the Cessna 414 and all four passengers were killed, but nobody on the ground was hurt, authorities said.
