L12 Crash In California
Two people aboard a historical WW2-era plane have died this Saturday after the aircraft crashed in Southern California.
The passengers were piloting a private Lockheed L12 during a Father’s Day Event when it crashed shortly after taking off from Chino Airport around 12:35 PM.
Witnesses recall seeing the plane fly not more than 300 feet in the air when it banked to the left. The plane then took a nosedive, causing a huge fireball filled with black smoke.
Beside the two passengers onboard, nobody on the ground was reported to be hurt by the explosion.
The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are expected to investigate what caused the crash.
