In the dark stillness of night, a quiet, tree-lined street in a San Diego neighborhood was plunged into tragedy when a plane clipped a main power line and crashed onto the street — turning cars into fireballs and sending hundreds of residents fleeing in a haze of smoke and confusion.

Three deaths have been confirmed after a plane crashed in a San Diego neighborhood. Some residents suffered minor injuries amid damage to at least 10 homes.

This isn't the first time a plane has crashed trying to land at Montgomery Airport. Tierrasanta neighbors fear it will happen after Thursday's crash.
