Plane crash in Lake Elsinore, CA

Love the way how this reporter says the plane "plummeted into the roof of this house" and later says it "fell out of the sky".

My "speculation" is that more than likely the plane ran out of fuel and the pilot tried to glide it to the ground. But there was a house in the way :shock: . Upon impact the wing broke off and apperantly no post accident fire. Again, this is only my "speculation". We'll see the facts when the N.T.S.B. report comes out.

I'm glad to hear the pilot was some what ok.
