The text article says they actually hit power lines, but that's not mentioned in the broadcast piece. Didn't appear to be any down lines either, but I don't know if that's normal or not.

There are some power lines but his FlightAware track looks like a normal descent for Van Nuys.

Crap, me too. There can't be a lot of VK-30s in southern CA...

Ok, not the new Cirrus jet. Wow, what did we do before search engines??
RIP guys.

I checked my photos, sadly it's the one from the Mojave fly-in last year.

This is the plane.

 

[Inverted]

Very sad, and very flat impact too. Almost looks like power lines split it in half but that is pure speculation.
