sad.
I have done a bit of flying around the San Diego Area myself. Most of the airports in the region have Pacific ocean on one end of the runway and real estate on the other. You auger one in you have a 50/50 chance of coming down on someone.
I hope to god i never have to put one down in that situation - let alone bail out!
It is going to be difficult for that pilot knowing his plane came down on those folks.
