Selfish asshole pilot took it down in a crowded area and could have hurt a lot of innocent people. Deserves a beating not a rescuing.

@Clappincheeks2knight Do you even know the whole story? This airplane crashed in the O’Reilly Auto Parts parking lot, just over 1,000 feet from the runway. The crash site is also aligned with the runway which indicates that the airplane was on a final approach for landing. Looks like the airplane may have experienced a mechanical issue shortly after takeoff and forced the pilot to turn back and attempt an emergency landing.

Ummm was the airport there before the homes & businesses? I love it when people build/rent/buy a home or business near an airport,
then complain about the noise!

“This accident that happened today continues to be an example of why this not the place to have an airport,” community organizer Veronica Padilla with Pacoima Beautiful told the outlet.
