3 Employees of the Meta Music Agency after the plane broke down in the California neighborhood

Three of its employees, including co -founder Dave Shapiro, said on Thursday that three of its employees, including the co -founder Dave Shapiro, on board the private plane that collided in the San Diego neighborhood.

Shapiru was listed as a plane owner and has a pilot license, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Shapiro also owns a flight called Velocity Aviation and Stical Label, Velocity Records, according to his LinkedIn page.

The agency did not share the names of the other employees who died.

“We have been destroyed from the loss of the co -founder, colleagues and friends. Our hearts go out to their families and everyone who is affected by today’s tragedy,” the agency said in a statement.

The audio talent collection represented artists including the American pop, Hanson, singer, American songwriter Vanessa Carlton and Canadian Rock SUM 41. Hanson may be famous for the earworm in the 1990s, MMMBOP.

Shapiro also owns a flight school, aircraft.

The San Diego authorities said earlier that two people were dead. The total number of deaths is unknown, but six people were on board, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

The private plane crashed early Thursday in a neighborhood of the American Navy housing in San Diego during the foggy weather, which caused at least one house and many of the parked vehicles in the street. Elliot Simpson of the National Transport Safety Council (NTSB) said that the plane cut power generation lines before it went home.

Several people were injured while trying to escape after the accident before four in the morning in Murphy Canyon, the largest neighborhood of the navy housing in the country. The authorities said that others were treated with inhalation of smoke.

The neighborhood is severely hit

At least one house was destroyed with a great burning and its roof partially collapsed. About 10 others have suffered from the site, as half of the vehicles were dissolved and burned in burning shells.

Arya Waterworth said she woke up to a “known voice” and then saw a giant fiery ball abroad. She shouted to help when the firefighters arrived and helped her go out with her two children and a family dog.

One of the family cars was “completely disintegrated”, and the other had severe damage. Her square was full of plane parts, broken glass and debris.

She said, “I definitely feel blessed because we survived.”

Anthony Carrasco, a San Diego police officer, said five people from one family were transferred to the smoke inhalation hospital after being evacuated to a nearby school. Another person was treated in a hospital due to injuries that continued while climbing from a window trying to escape. Two others were treated for minor injuries at the scene.

Police said that at least 100 people were evacuated from the neighborhood, with surrounding blocks that were cordoned off with the yellow police tape and checkpoints. The fuel plane rolled at the bottom of Salmon Street hours after the accident. The smell of fuel continued in the air, while the authorities extinguished a stubborn car fire that sent smoke.

“I cannot put words to describe the shape of the scene, but with the transfer of jet fuel in the street, and everything on the fire at one time, it was so slow to see,” said San Diego police chief.

The plane took off from New Jersey

Flightaware Jet tracking from Citation II JET shows that she takes off from Teteboro, New Jersey, on Wednesday night and headed to Whitchita, Kansas. Simpson said the plane stopped fuel in Kansas before following up to San Diego. New Jersey Airport is located where the flight originated about 10 kilometers from Manhattan and is an airport used repeatedly by private aircraft and companies.

The audio recordings included a brief transition from the pilot, who was calling for the final approach to Montgomery-Gibbs and was less than five kilometers at 3:45 am local time.

Rescuers help population and pets to escape

Christopher Moore, who lives one street from the crash site, said that his wife woke up to a high uproar. They grabbed the three young children and ran out of the house. On their way out of the neighborhood, they saw a drowning car in the fire.

“It was definitely dummy, but sometimes you just have to drop your head and get to safety,” he said.

Police officers rescued several animals, including three hoarse -wrapped bells in a vehicle. A few buildings, families, including Moore, stood in a parking lot pending learning when they can return to their homes.

The weather may have played a role in the accident

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said NTSB will lead the investigation.
