This isn't the first time a plane has crashed trying to land at Montgomery Airport. Tierrasanta neighbors fear it will happen after Thursday's crash.

A small plane crashed into a neighborhood in Simi Valley on May 3 killing both people and a dog aboard the aircraft and igniting two homes, but no one was reported hurt on the ground despite residents being inside the residences at the time. The community is located nearly 50 miles (80 kilometers) northwest of Los Angeles.

Thursday’s crash of a Cessna 550 killed at least three people on the plane – though only two deaths have been confirmed by authorities –and left eight more injured in a Murphy Canyon neighborhood.
