   The Cessna 414A came apart while flying over Yorba Linda, near Los Angeles, on Sunday evening
   There was only one person in it at the time, a male pilot who has not yet been identified
   The plane was seen falling from the sky in a fireball and landing on a family home, setting it alight
   Neighbors flocked to the property and watched in horror as it was consumed by flames
   They said the owners were throwing a Super Bowl party at the time of the crash
   The plane eventually came to a stop in the backyard of a couple next door who were not harmed
   Four people who were inside the house it destroyed first were killed and two people were injured
   FAA records show the aircraft was made in 1981 and its registration was pending at the time of the crash

   That means the idiots in the FAA certified a 40-year old plane to fly. Pending registration means they've already OK'd it.

   Metal fatigue is a thing, but planes shouldn't just fall apart.

    If you know your plane is going to crash, try to steer it into a swimming pool.

    California needs to close up shop, but then again, it seems to be doing away with the excessive population..
