00:00Dave Shapiro, a pioneering figure in the heavy metal and hard rock music scene, was among
00:07three people killed in a small plane crash in San Diego early Thursday morning. He was
00:1242. Authorities reported that all passengers aboard the plane died, though most identities
00:19remain unconfirmed. Former The Devil Wears Prada drummer Daniel Williams, age 39, was
00:25also named among the victims. Shapiro, an experienced and passionate pilot, may have been flying
00:32the aircraft, though officials have not confirmed this. The aircraft, a Cessna 550, crashed into
00:38the Tierra Santa neighborhood around 3.47 a.m. local time as the plane attempted to land at
00:44Montgomery Gibbs Executive Airport after departing from Wichita, Kansas. San Diego police said
00:51they believe no one on the ground was killed, though that has not been officially verified.
00:55San Diego Fire Rescue Assistant Chief Dan Eddy said emergency crews arrived to find one
01:01home and multiple vehicles on fire. Only one person with minor injuries was transported to
01:08a hospital as of Thursday morning. The fiery wreck damaged up to 15 homes and multiple vehicles,
01:15displacing nearly 100 residents due to jet fuel hazards. A clipped power line may have contributed
01:21to the crash, which occurred in dense fog. Captain Bob Healy, commanding officer of Naval Base San
01:27Diego, said military officials are coordinating with Housing Management and the Red Cross to provide
01:32temporary shelter and assistance to displaced families. The Federal Aviation Administration
01:38and the National Transportation Safety Board
01:43are investigating the cause of the crash.
