According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), a thick and unexpected slab of fog contributed to the crash of the jet<\/a> that killed six Southern California residents on their way home from Las Vegas in the early morning hours of July 8.<\/p>\n

The Cessna 550 crashed in a field 800 feet north of the French Valley Airport runway near Murietta, Calif. around 4:11 a.m. that Saturday.<\/p>\n

The NTSB\u2019s preliminary report said that the airplane leveled off at 19,000 feet after departing from Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas at 3:16 a.m. without incident.<\/p>\n

\n

The plane began its descent about 58 miles north of the small airport around 3:35 a.m., after air traffic control granted clearance and provided a weather update, again, without incident. At that time, visibility at French Valley was 10 miles. Twenty minutes later, a dense fog rapidly rolled in, reducing visibility to only three-quarters of a mile. By the time of the crash, visibility was down to only half a mile.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

According to the NTSB, the pilot, 25-year-old Riese Lenders, made two attempts to land in the fog. During his first, the plane descended to 1,600 feet before aborting the attempt. Lenders then requested clearance to attempt a second landing, flying back up to 5,000 feet before receiving that clearance.<\/p>\n

The plane crashed during Lenders\u2019 second attempt, bursting into flames and killing Lenders, his co-pilot Manuel Vargas-Regalado, 32, and their four passengers, Lindsey Gleiche, 31, of Huntington Beach (who was Lenders\u2019 girlfriend), Abigail Tellez-Vargas, 33, of Murrieta, Alma Razick, 51, of Temecula, and Ibrahem Razick, 46, of Temecula.<\/p>\n

A final report on the crash is expected in a year or two, once the NTSB thoroughly examines all of the wreckage, which it transported to a secure facility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
