Citation Crash in California

Anybody have any more info on what possibly happened to this flight?


From NBC

Four people were killed after a small plane that left Hailey, Idaho this morning crashed upon landing at a Southern California airport.
Flames and smoke are seen coming from a plane crash at the McClellan-Palomar Airport Tuesday morning. There were no survivors.

Officials say the Cessna 560-twin engine jet skidded of the runway at the McClellan-Palomar Airport Tuesday at 6:45 a.m., crashed into a building and burst into flames.

The plane, which can hold up to six passengers, was coming from Hailey, Idaho, a town near the Sun Valley ski resort.

Helicopter video showed smoke and flames coming from the crash site. Only the tail section of the plane appeared to be intact.

The Federal Aviation Administration says all four on board were killed. The airport 30 miles north of San Diego has been closed. It serves private planes, business jets and two commuter airlines - America West Express and United Express, both of which operate turboprops out of the facility.
