Airplane Crash (audio only) in Yorba Linda, California 

That noise is terrifying

The sound is spooky. Gives me the chills.

The sound of it speeding up is scary Does it disturb anyone that a plane could crash land into their house? Even if it’s a 1 in a infinity chance?

What's even more deafening and spine chilling is the silence after the crash.

This is what we heard and then felt the impact. Shook our whole house.

0:22 you can hear a "POP".

That end sound is heartbreaking

Wow. I've extracted the audio and filtered out the rain as much as I could with audacity. From what I can hear this guy was all over the place in the clouds (using the doppler effect of the audio, going away (decreasing Frequency), being abeam of camera location (steady Freq), approaching camera (increasing freq). I've analyzed a ton of these over the past few years, this is the best audio clip I've ever had available. Using youtube screen time in seconds... 08-23: departing - decreasing frequency, plane turns and... 23-28: abeam - steady engine frequency, plane turns again and... 29-35: approaching - increasing frequency, plane turns again and... 38-44: departing - decreasing frequency, plane turns again and... 44-53: abeam - steady frequency, plane turns again and... 53-58: approaching - increasing frequency... 58+: starts graveyard spiral - increasing frequency... Quickly, the pilot would exit the cloud layer and see where he is... 1:04: pilot pulls hard on yoke, frequency immediatly slows. 1:06: Plane breaks up due to massive g-force from pulling back on the yoke. The sound around 21-22 secs is not a breakup. It sounds like low level thunder, esp if you filter out the rain. KFUL Metar at 0543z (1:43pm local): Visibility 2.5 miles, Clouds: Few @ 1500', Broken @ 3500', Overcast @ 5000'. The above is just my opinion. Criticism/evaluation encouraged, but please no flames.

This is so scary, gave me the chills. May the 5 people rest in peace.

There's not a lot of things that scare me, but this sound did

I'm a pilot. Sounds like he's in a climb then the plane either inverts or stalls.

You can actually hear the inflight breakup and the impact. Very chilling.

Ty very much for this article. I heard that pop @ 22 seconds in. Very creepy listening to it when you know what's happened.

That ominous change in sound is frightening. RIP to the pilot he had to be terrified. RIP to the others as well.

When you hear the sound of the prop accelerating in pitch, it's due to the increased RPM caused in a dive. I've experienced it in some of my flight training years ago. I have the same cameras! Reolinks..

So this is the famous audio the whole world are now talking about. And I'm about to fly in a few hours. :(

I heard it happen and saw the plane go down. This is a sound I will never forget. We had parts fall in our yard.

I live 1 mile from a small airport that provides flying lessons. I think about them crashing into my home every day

Ugh i was so scared when I heard like a engine I literally heard a plane when I watched this... :/

after listening to the audio recording of the crash and seeing a dash cam video of the mid air breakup fire ball, I have concluded the plane, entered into a steep dive and gained excessive velocity far above the air frames rated "velocity never exceed" and the pilot likely attempted a control input that resulted in an air frame failure while trying to abate the dive. likely 1 or both of the wings sheared off resulting in the release of the fuel from the wings mid air which was somehow ignited possibly from sparks/heat that resulted from the structural failure .........................the rest of the airplane, lawn darted uncontrolled into a home.... very tragic

thats so scary.. thanks for sharin.

One of the houses it hit killed 4 people, it’s for sale now as an empty lot with a pool.

Wow most horrifying minutes

It gave me the chills... you hear the crash, then immediately silence. Wow that’s scary..

With the prop (hitting a house) & wing (in street) separating from the plane within 120 yards of impact. Hearing that sound, I wonder if overspeed caused the in flight breakup? It will be interesting to eventually find out the cause of this tragedy. RIP & God speed.

The suprising part is the pilot never called in a mayday, which mad me think icapacitaion. But after hearing the audio and him turning repeatedly, and then the doppler effect of him pulling on the yoke, id imagine it happened so fast and the g's were so bad he had no time to do anything.

Unfortunately this will likely turn out to be pilot spatial disorientation/loss of control in IFR conditions leading to an airframe break-up and crash. Will have to wait to see what the NTSB finds out. Audio is chilling.

I will never forget the first time I heard a car crash. I didn't realize what it was. On the movies you hear that high pitched glass shattering sound but like this plane in real life, it's just a big huge thud. And that dude was humping it when he hit.

Very sad. This audio will help the NTSB. Sudden loss of control.

Hello, I work for KTTV Ch11. Do you mind if we use this video with credit to you on all platforms? Thank you!

You can also hear the prop over speed/ cavitation so it sounds like the dive was pretty severe.

Always waiting to hear that sound living next to a small airport. Worst fear. Terrifying

What kinda cameras are you using! Nice quality video

That scary sound seems like a commercial jet, heading towards the ground straight down

Sounds like those planes that would come falling down in ww2

How close was the actual impact site from where this camera was?

seems like spatial disorientation or perhaps an attitude indicator failure then went into a dive and as he tried to pull out of it the aircraft broke apart.

Why does the sound goes higher and higher at the end and then low😓 scared af

kinda scary how it sounds like a stuka divebombing something

You should share this with the NTSB. It could be helpful in their investigation as to what caused the accident.

Was this a smalle sport plan? Or an airbus

high rpm sounds like he was looping the plane and pulled up hard and wings pulled apart from the G force maybe medical emergency ? failed hydrolic elevator system?

I went on RU-vid because I just heard a rly loud plane

Did pilot declare emergency. Any ATC audio of the flight available?

@22:00/23:00 I think that pop is related somehow, could have been many different things/ like the engine coming apart internals, could have been a part of the aircraft hitting something on the ground from a higher Altitude break up. (something happened from a higher alt)..maybe he hit something in air?.. maybe nobody has discoverd it yet? just maybe.. what ever happened @ 7,800 ft.. Is the the leading cause...it's not like people are making it sounds (this pilot did not just get disoriented) @ 7,800 ft.. He may have got disoriented further down the chain of events or at a lower Alt from the mechanical problem he could not have over come being a single PIC of the aircraft. but that was because of a problem that happened @ 7,800 AGL.. this could have been many problems NTSB can hopefully get it right.. that pop you hear is way before the engine reving and fireball you see in other vids..radar doppler shows him aborting a climb correct? followed by a sharp right hand turn and desent.. (this is for twin pilots).. what happens when an engine goes out on a twin left or right engine? (in a climb out)? your instructor is going to teach you nose down and the aircraft is going to yaw to the engine out side of aircraft. this my friends is were it all started for this PIC.. that poping you heard is from engine trouble in MIC weather..

I cant figure this out- the propeller seperated from the plane, the plane demolished a house but the plane is relativly intact? can anyone explain what may have happened??

sounds like a couple of shots or bangs before the descent to crash.

That's the same sound that was heard from the Kamakazi pilots at Pearl harbor! Frightening!!!

Sound of the plane coming down sounds like a Stuka but deeper pitched

I hope you get this to the NTSB. Seems like good investigative information.

Man..I always though only in the movies you would hear those over revving world war 2 dive bombing plane. This sound is identical to the movies wow.

I am now scared after seeing the crash, we could see the burning house from our front yard

RIP pilot and poor people from the house.

Oh god that sound 1:00

How far is this camera from crash site? I hear it and its “almost like” I feel like I’m there... Dear God!!

With headphones it sounds like its coming for my housr

@ 0:23 is when it began. Visibility being limited I'm sure the very last seconds of full throttle was the "OH SHIT" moment once they saw land and tried to pull up flatten out, anything. Tragic

1:00 just imagine sleeping one night and hearing that sound but from a bigger plane😫😫 I aint sleepin no more

At 0:23 it sounds like an initial explosion.

No wonder I heard a high pitch plane engine crashing into my neighbor's house and hearing a boom, smh.

that sound is so scary

Airborne nightmares! an traumatic sound by causality, whose blow out occured at time 1:08 failing helm circling in vain, i imagined the aircraft efforts was desperate at not found suitable landing track places but not in that street.

That is exactly what I heard

Sad

I get nervous whenever I hear a plane fly overhead. Why did I watch this?

This is so sad😢😭

At first it sounds relaxing hearing the water and plane flying 😌 but then at 1:00 it turns eerie all of the sudden 😳

The fact that it took roughly 10 seconds to crash from the moment it started speeding up which is not a lot of time to react if you're in your house. R.I.P Pilot.

That was the sound of a VFR Rated pilot getting stuck in IMC conditions. Always get that IFR Rating it will save your life

Live in YL. Heard it. Other person in my house thought out it was a car 🚗 crash. I thought 💭 plane ✈️ crash all the way. Since that day I listen intently to any close flying plane ✈️ or helicopter 🚁. Arnold Swarzenegger built a house in Yorba Linda many years ago and wanted to add a heliport so he could commute by chopper to Hollywood. The city turned him down so he sold the 🏡 and went some where else. Today there are so many helicopters flying overhead daily that it seems as if the whole city is one big heliport. I get that many of them are emergency vehicles like police and ambulance.............

Hi Jason, I'm reaching out on behalf of NBC Network News. Would you be willing to give us clearance to use this video on all NBCU platforms with credit to you?

Was It A Turboprop

so scary

I'm not an expert but it sounded like it did a loop de loop before dive bombing.

Twenty-eight days... six hours... forty-two minutes... twelve seconds. That... is when the world... will end.

My man is still in WW2 Soviet Lines

Dam the other security cameras audio caught kobe bryant helicopter crash to

Turn on the volume to max = can hear some explosion. (new)

cessna 167??

That pilot was not disorientated by no means / he was incapacitated by all means..

I’m on the street of the house.. rly scary 3 houses away from it

Omg. Im here because I just hear the samee thing. so today is school day, but Im sick. so I have to stay home. but at 11.40 am, I hear this reallyy loud airplane sound just like in the video but it was more intense, and louder. Istg. Im so scared 😭

So that's what it sounds like...

Imagine living in a war zone heard this all day long.Sometimes just boom.

Terrifying

That plane crashed right next to my elementary school...

They don’t call them “Graveyard Spirals” for no reason. Tragically classic ending to an age-old problem for amateur pilots.

It rains in CA?

It sounds like a ju-87 Stuka diving

Unless someone seen this plane crash 1 minute before it happened, this audio will determine what really happened

I think I missed it. Too busy starring at the Armor All stain in the driveway.

Literally a street over my house. Awful

*why do I hear stuka dive bombers*

Those props were screaming.

To the comments about spatial disorientation -- indeed that could've been the case in IMC (but not necessarily due to lack of IFR training). He was an IFR pilot and it should be noted that the FAA just came out with a mandatory Airworthiness Directive (AD) just in the last 3 weeks that all planes such as these with an Aspen EFD 1000 with WAAS coupling be grounded from going into IMC until a fix is found (Why? the EFD 1000's or Electronic Flight Displays -- are the primary digital artificial horizon and are known to suddenly "blank out" while in flight due to a bug with the ADS-B.) We don't know if he had an Aspen EFD 1000, but like I said most of these planes do and the FAA considered the anomaly to be serious enough to issue the AD in just the last couple of weeks and ground the planes permanently away from IMC flying or even night flying. It should also be noted he was a big man and 75 years old and medical issues could've been at play while he was trying to control the aircraft. Hopefully NTSB can get to the bottom of it one way or other.

Where is the video of the plane crashing ;-;

Propeller(s) turning extreme high RPM most of the time. www.kathrynsreport.com/2019/02/cessna-414a-chancellor-n414rs-fatal_9.html

Anyone know how the crash happened?

OMG the sound crash plane!!

0:55 MAYDAY MAYDAY oh no that’s where it crashed
