More information from the County Executive claiming the pilots reported mechanical problems and people on the ground heard a loud pop/bang before the aircraft went down. Based on the pictures taken by the media, it doesn't look too promising . . .

Lets keep hoping

Looks like CAL is asking folks who are wondering about the flight status to call them. Not a god sign.

It's being reported as a "small propeller plane"...nothing too newsworthy there.
