Shock, questions after Fullerton plane crash kills 2, injures 19
LA TimesTwo people aboard a small plane were killed when their aircraft crashed into a commercial building near Fullerton Municipal Airport, bursting into flames and injuring 19 people working in the facility, officials said. Fullerton Mayor Pro Tem Shana Charles pointed out that Fullerton’s is the only municipal airport left in Orange County, meaning that if small plane crashes happen anywhere in the county, it will be in Fullerton. “We need to make sure that we’re doing everything on our side to make sure things are safe for not only the people in the air but on the ground,” she said. “My thoughts are with the families who lost two family members.” Dunlap and U.S. Rep. Lou Correa recently announced that $500,000 in federal tax dollars would be used to upgrade the airport’s technology and accessibility for its air traffic control tower.
