Double Tragedy: Two San Diego Plane Crashes Raise Air Traffic Control Concerns

San Diego Plane Crashes Spark Air Traffic Control Concerns Two small planes have crashed off the coast of San Diego in recent weeks, prompting concerns about potential air traffic control issues. The most recent crash, on June 9th, 2025, involved a Cessna 414 carrying six people. Authorities are investigating the cause of both incidents. "It's hard to not wonder if the nation's air traffic control issues were behind this crash," said Justin Moore, the video's creator, known online as 'thed3list'. He also noted a previous crash in the area involving a prominent music executive, further fueling concerns. A Coast Guard search and rescue operation is currently underway. The FAA is under significant stress due to shortages of air traffic controllers and aging infrastructure. While the exact causes of the crashes remain under investigation, the proximity in time and location has raised significant concerns and underscores the need for a thorough review of air traffic control procedures in the region. The FAA has not yet commented on the speculation.
