A private jet crashed in a San Diego neighborhood early Thursday, colliding with a power line in poor visibility due to fog. The ensuing fire engulfed the plane and a nearby home, leading to multiple fatalities among those on board, including music talent agent Dave Shapiro and two employees from Sound Talent Group. Emergency responders attended to eight residents with smoke-related injuries but reported no fatalities in the neighborhood. The tragedy left the music community mourning the loss of notable professional figures, compounding the devastation felt by their families and friends.
"I can't quite put words to describe what the scene looks like, but with the jet fuel going down the street, and everything on fire all at once, it was pretty horrific to see," San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl said.
"We are devastated by the loss of our co-founder, colleagues and friends. Our hearts go out to their families and to everyone impacted by today's tragedy," the agency said.
