Local officials reported that the aircraft struck several homes and vehicles in a military housing community approximately 10 miles northeast of downtown San Diego. Multiple houses caught fire, and jet fuel was scattered across the surrounding streets.

According to FlightAware, the aircraft took off from Teterboro Airport, near New York City, late Wednesday night, made a brief stop in Wichita, Kansas, and then continued on to San Diego. The crash occurred around 3:45 a.m. amid reports of dense fog in the area.

Oh, I hate that. Word just coming in on who might have been onboard. Guess it was a cross-country, too.

A famous drummer is feared to have died in a private jet crash that killed at least two people hours after he shared a photo of himself at its controls. 

Daniel Williams, formerly of hugely-popular Christian metalcore band The Devil Wears Prada, filmed himself boarding the Cessna 550 at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey late Wednesday night. 

The drummer, 39, also shared pictures of him at the controls of the small aircraft, said that he was the 'co-pilot now'. It's unclear if he was joking.

An eerie final post showed him at the plane's controls with the caption: 'Here we gooooo'
