A grim incident unfolded on Sunday morning at Cable Airport in Upland, Southern California, resulting in the loss of three lives when a Beechcraft P35 single-engine plane crashed into a hangar and immediately erupted in flames. The devastating accident occurred during departure around 6:30 a.m. local time (9:30 a.m. ET). Onboard the ill-fated aircraft was a pilot and two passengers, all of whom tragically lost their lives.
After receiving the distressing report, emergency responders from the San Bernardino County rushed to the scene. Despite their best efforts to combat the inferno, they were unable to save the three victims, and they were pronounced deceased on-site. Fortunately, there were no further casualties among airport personnel or bystanders, although the hangar sustained moderate damage.
In the wake of this heart-wrenching event, authorities have launched investigations to determine the cause of the crash. Both the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will be working collaboratively to shed light on the circumstances that led to the devastating accident.
