Officials say a twin-jet plane crashed near the French Valley Airport in Murrieta, Calif., killing six people on board. NTSB investigator Elliott Simpson said the pilot was attempting to perform a “missed approach” procedure due to low visibility but the small plane crashed about 500 feet short of the runway.

I believe the jet was shot down.
The twin-jet was flying IFR and had already done one miss-approach. The minimum IFR weather conditions for a non-precision approach landing would be a ceiling of 800 ft and 2 SM of visibility. The onboard instrument gives a voice warning “MINIMUMS” telling you have to see the runway at this altitude or go around.
Strangest posts on this article. Whether one is rich, poor, or otherwise, six loving souls were lost. A few of you will have some explaining to do on judgement day.
That is clearly a cirrus vision sf50
Not a twin jet
Popping over the mountains for dinner and a little Vegas fun wasn't such a good idea this time. They should have just taken a short nap to return in the daylight.
Limey in Cali?
How many do you report on same event.?
Considering how early they were flying and the direction… its a possibility the sunrise may have blinded the poor pilot.. what a scary way to go out. The suns rays through fog are something else
🙏💔✝️
😢
Poor rich people im so sad. Not!!!
😪😪👉👉😄😄
Why are we using British people to investigate ?
Ok so what pivotal billionaire was involved with this disaster??
Only Americans should be allowed in law enforcement
😔
That’s horrible 😢
HAVING FUN
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😢So Sad To Hear
Must’ve known something about the Bidens
Manny was an EXCELLENT pilot! Nothing was wrong with the plane. It was all miscalculation on landing due to the weather. I’ve allowed my 10 year old daughter to fly w/ her uncle and the kids. Manny would take all the kids/family flying. They were going to Vegas for dinner. Abigail (Manny’s wife) was also on board. They leave behind 4 beautiful children who are under Grandma’s watch. My daughters Father was supposed to be on that flight so he’s taking it extra hard as it’s his best friend…They were all best friends.. PLZ KEEP THE PRAYERS STRONG!!
Prayers to the family from this accident. May the family have peace during this sad situation.
Prayers for all of the families and friends
May they RIP 😢
Prayers to all that died in this plane crash, May God watch over them. In Jesus name
I thought flying IFR doesn't require seeing the runway. Your instruments indicate the planes position.
