Identification of all 6 victims in Point Loma plane crash.

A tragic aviation incident off the coast of San Diego last weekend claimed the lives of six individuals, including a married couple and four members of a single family from the Gila Valley area of Arizona. The aircraft, a twin-engine Cessna 414 piloted by Landon Baldwin, went down unexpectedly shortly after departing from San Diego International Airport on its way to Phoenix. A preliminary report from the Aviation Safety Network detailed the events leading up to the crash, showing the aircraft's sudden descent into the ocean waters. Search and rescue teams found debris from the plane in waters roughly 200 feet deep, suspending search efforts for the victims' remains pending further developments. Multiple agencies, including the US Coast Guard, Customs and Border Protection, Harbor Police, and lifeguards, were involved in the search operations covering over 300 square miles. The National Transportation Safety Board is conducting an investigation into the tragic incident.
