BREAKING | Mid-Air Collision Over San Diego, 5 Dead (update)
UPDATE: Story has been changed to reflect five victims and that the Sabreliner was leased by a defense contractor.

===============
Two planes collide near San Diego's Brown Field; 4 dead
by: Tony Perry - August 16, 2015 4:28 PM PST - L.A. Times

---------------
(SAN DIEGO) Four people were killed Sunday in a midair collision of two small planes over Otay Mesa east of San Diego near the Mexican border, officials said.

The planes -- a twin-engine Sabreliner and a single-engine Cessna 172 – collided about two miles northeast of the Brown Field Municipal Airport about 11 a.m., according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Both planes were attempting to land at Brown Field, the FAA said. The cause of the collision has not been determined.

Wreckage from the crash was found in two locations about a quarter of a mile apart, according to Nick Schuler, division chief of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The planes broke into “multiple pieces,” Schuler said. Pieces of the Cessna were found in the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge.

A California Highway Patrol officer, the first law enforcement officer on scene, reported to a dispatcher, “Debris is scattered everywhere.”

There were no survivors. Investigators are examining the wreckage to determine if there were any other people aboard either plane in addition to the four victims.

The wreckage caused a 2-acre brushfire near California 125 that was quickly extinguished. No structures were damaged or threatened.

Sabreliner is a medium Bizjet.
Cessna 172 is a trainer.

The usual story of these things is that the fast mover runs down the slow-poke. They come in on a "Long Final" on an IFR flight plan, while the little guy is VFR, doing training or somesuch, and either gets run over by the jet, or turns base in front of it.

Woah! I still remember watching the smoke over North Park from the PSA midair collision in 1978. That was very, very bad. :(

And if it weren't for the fucking FAA and their billion dollar certification issue.. shit like this could be avoided with a cheap retrofit of something resembling a modern TCAS on the aircraft.

The government is killing people..

Any certificated piston prop flying today is still using 1930s technology under the cowl.. its sickening.
