Read our privacy policy A single-engine plane rolled upside down before crashing near a Southern California airport on the Fourth of July, killing a father and severely injuring his three sons, federal investigators said in a preliminary report. The plane had made a touch-and-go landing on a runway when it then climbed, veered left, and at about 60 feet above the ground dropped one wing, rolled over and disappeared behind a building, according to airport surveillance video cited in the NTSB report. The witness saw the plane slowly climb towards some buildings, its wings rocking back and forth before it disappeared behind the building, the report said.
