When a young couple’s little plane plummeted from the skies close to the coast, their return flight from California to Phoenix ended tragically.
On June 8, 2025, a twin-engine Cessna 414 crashed into the water close to Point Loma, a San Diego neighbourhood by the sea, killing six people. The pilot and his wife, Landon and Torrie Baldwin, were among the dead; their passing has rocked a tight-knit town and left two small children without parents.
After the jet crashed into the Pacific Ocean at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday while returning to Phoenix after taking off from Arizona the previous day, the Federal Aviation Administration verified there were no survivors.
A field of wreckage in waters about 200 feet deep was eventually discovered by search teams after the tragedy, which occurred about five miles off the Point Loma peninsula.
