"I saw the plane coming in awful fast. His approach speed was way beyond what it should be," Norman Boyd told KUSI-TV news

This is the brilliant remark from a guy driving his car who saw the plane approaching. Like he knew what the approach speed was... gotta love how the media goes right to the "experts"!

According to the FAA there is only one Norman Boyd who has a Cessna type rating(CE-650). What are the odds it was him giving that report.

Don't know how accurate flight aware is, but last track info showed 227kts at 300ft. Hate to say it, but maybe Norman knew what he was talking about. There's a first time for everything. No mention as to weather anyone got out--hope they did.

Winds have been a little "elevated" down there just of late. Carrying extra speed isn't necessarily unwarranted.

I heard on the radio that the storage facility held the airport's instrument landing system.

CARLSBAD, Calif. — Federal officials say four people were killed when a twin-engine plane skidded off an airport runway Tuesday and burst into flames. The jet-engined Cessna 560 was landing at McClellan-Palomar Airport on a flight from Hailey, Idaho, when it skidded off the end of a runway at about 6:40 a.m., said Mike Fergus, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman in Seattle.
It hit a shack that held the airport's instrument landing system equipment, Fergus said.
"All four on board were killed," he said.
The airport, 30 miles north of San Diego, serves private planes, business jets and two commuter airlines, America West Express and United Express.
Crews from the airport and Carlsbad fire departments were on scene. No one on the ground was reported hurt.
