It happened so fast, it was unbelievable, said Mike Murphy, a salesman at the car dealership who was with a customer when he saw the highplane crash. Big, big flames er than the roof, about 60 feet. There was nothing we could do. The West German-registere- d plane left Santa Monica Airport Saturday morning with five passengers and a pilot aboard, said Tommy Aina, Federal Aviation Administration duty officer in Los Angeles. All six who died were on the plane, Alioto said. Six people were killed, possibly more, said Alioto. The identities of the victims, all burned beyond recognition, were withheld pending notification of relatives. It burst into flames, and the fire spread to the auto shop, causing $20,000 in damage," Alioto said. The fire was quickly controlled. twin-engin- p, Three firefighters who helped battle the blaze in heat were taken to ML Diablo Hospital and treated for heat exhaustion, Battalion Chief Jerome T.

National Transportation Safety Board investigators were en route from Los Angeles, Baldwin said FAA investigators were at the scene. It looked like (the pilot) decided not to land the first time and there was another plane coming, so he banked real sharply to avoid the other plane and as he banked his tail dropped and he went right down, said Diane Lister, a saleswoman at Concord Toyota about two blocks from the crash scene. I remember turning away and thinking the plane was too low and then I heard the crash, she added. There was a big explosion and it burned fast and it burned Got Those guys (at Shepherd) were real lucky. Fifty feet more and it would have landed right in the showroom. They would have been gone. The dealership is on the flight route to the airport, said Shepherd salesman Scott Somers. We watch in amusement as planes sputter by the Lear jets are always a spectacular sight, Somers said. But this time I heard the sputter and watched the plane just drop. If the pilot hadnt been on the ball it wouldve landed in the back of the main sales office, which usually is full of people. Tim Verducci, sales manager at Sun Valley Ford about a block from the crash scene, said that after the crash he heard a couple of big booms. It hit a garbage bin first, then crashed into the building. Somebody said it flipped on its side as it approached the field, then hit the body shop, the parts department and the back of the main building.
