3 people found unresponsive after plane crashes into ocean off California coast
Emergency crews responded on late Saturday (July 26, 2025) following reports of a plane down about 275 meters off Point Pinos in Monterey County, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
Witnesses said they heard an aircraft engine revving and then a splash in the water, KSBW-TV reported. People on shore later reported seeing debris wash up from the crashed plane.
The twin-engine Beech 95-B55 Baron with three people aboard took off from the San Carlos Airport at 10:11 p.m. and was last seen at 10:37 p.m. near Monterey, according to flight tracking data from FlightAware.com.
Coast Guard boat and helicopter crews were launched to search for the victims, with assistance from local law enforcement and fire agencies.
Searchers in a boat found one person around 3 a.m. Divers found the remaining two people inside the aircraft between 6:30 a.m. and 9:15 a.m. All three were unresponsive, the Coast Guard said.
'In this case unresponsive means no signs of life, however it is the coroner's office and Sheriff's office that make the distinction of dead/deceased,' Petty Officer Ryan Graves said in an email. Messages were sent to the coroner's office seeking more information.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate.

Local law enforcement and fire agencies were also helping in the search operation. Associated Press, quoting KSBW-TV, reported that eye witnesses said they heard an aircraft engine revving and then a splash in the water. People who were present at the shore of the ocean reportedly saw debris of the crashed plane wash up at the shore. The Coast Guard said that divers found the first person at around 3am on Sunday and the two others inside the aircraft between 6:30am and 9:15am, however, all three of them were unresponsive. 'In this case unresponsiveness means no signs of life, however it is the coroner's office and Sheriff's office that make the distinction of dead/deceased,' Petty Officer Ryan Graves said. US aviation watchdog Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will investigate the incident. To gather more information, messages were sent to the coroner's office, though there has been no official confirmation whether any of the three people survived or died in the crash.
