Six people were killed in a plane crash that occurred on approach to French Valley Airport in Murrieta. 

A Cessna C550 business jet left Las Vegas and crashed, bursting into flames around 4:15 am on Saturday, July 8 while on approach to French Valley.

Wing of business jet depicted while flying in air

All six people on board were killed. The names of whom are Lindsey Gleiche, 31, of Huntington Beach; Riese Lenders, 25, of Rancho Palos Verdes; Alma Razick, 51, of Temecula; Ibrahem Razick, 46, of Temecula; Abigail Tellez-Vargas, 33, of Murrieta; and Manuel Vargas-Regalado, 32, of Temecula.

There was a service on Sunday at Rolling Hills Covenant Church in Los Angeles County where one of the men’s fathers was an elder. Riese Lenders had a commercial pilot certificate according to Federal Aviation Administration records, and was piloting the Cessna with co-pilot Manuel Vargas-Regalado at the time of the crash.

The victims also had children, ranging in age from newborn to 11 years old.

“This is an unbelievable loss,” said plane crash attorney Gerald Singleton. “Entire families have been torn apart, and lives have been ruined and lost due to this awful plane crash. Our hearts go out to the widows, children and families of the deceased.”

Anyone involved in a plane crash should contact the attorneys at Singleton Schreiber by calling 213-816-0307 or by emailing info@singletonschreiber.com.

French Valley Airport Cessna Crash

According to the Press Democrat, the crash occurred during the second of two landing attempts. There were low clouds and poor visibility. The jet, which can seat up to 13 people, crashed roughly 500 feet short of the intended runway. The ensuing fire consumed most of the aircraft.

Michael Morris, the plane’s owner, received a call from Vargas-Regalado who was the manager and lead pilot of his flight company. Morris let Vargas-Regalado use the plane to take people to Vegas and didn’t ask questions because the pilot had flown for him for two years and “was responsible.”

There are planes registered to Morris’ company, Prestige Worldwide Flights LLC, which is based in Temecula. Of the people who died, one was a real estate agent and another was a car dealership owner.

Southern California, with its bustling aviation industry and numerous airports, has unfortunately witnessed its fair share of plane crash accidents over the years. From high-profile incidents to smaller-scale crashes, these tragedies have left lasting impacts on the region’s aviation community and the affected families.

Southern California’s aviation history is closely intertwined with the growth and development of the region. However, this growth has not been without its dark moments. Over the years, several significant plane crashes have occurred, claiming numerous lives and leaving indelible marks on the community.

One of the most notable crashes in Southern California occurred in 1958 when a United Airlines flight and a Trans World Airlines flight collided over the San Gabriel Mountains near Pacoima. This mid-air collision, known as the “Pacoima Disaster,” resulted in the deaths of all 128 people on board both aircraft. It remains one of the deadliest aviation accidents in U.S. history.

More recently, in 2018, a small aircraft crashed into a house in the city of Yorba Linda, resulting in multiple fatalities and significant property damage. This tragic incident highlighted the potential dangers of general aviation and the importance of stringent safety measures.

Several factors have contributed to plane crash accidents in Southern California. The region’s complex airspace, diverse weather conditions, and congested airspace around major airports pose challenges to pilots. Human error, mechanical failures, and inadequate maintenance have also played significant roles in some accidents.

In response to these incidents, the aviation industry and regulatory authorities have continuously worked to enhance safety measures. Airports have implemented improved air traffic control systems and runway safety protocols. Aircraft manufacturers have implemented advanced technology, such as collision-avoidance systems and improved structural integrity, to mitigate the risk of accidents. Pilots receive rigorous training and adhere to strict flight guidelines to ensure safe operations.

Southern California’s history is marred by plane crash accidents that have claimed numerous lives and caused profound grief. Lawsuits have been filed by dozens of individuals who have been injured or have lost people due to poor maintenance, irresponsible piloting, or some other fault outside their own.

“A full investigation is necessary to determine what exactly happened and whether this tragedy could have been averted,” said Mr. Singleton. “There should be legal consequences here, and the surviving family members should look into the civil process. Qualified attorneys who understand wrongful death cases involving plane crashes can help sort this disaster out.”

A fire aboard a cargo ship docked at Port Newark, New Jersey resulted in the deaths of two Newark firefighters.

Two men – Augusto Acabou, 45, and Wayne Brooks Jr., 49 – were longtime veterans of the fire department. They became trapped on board the burning ship during the initial response. 

large cargo ship depicted in ocean

In addition to the two men who were killed, six other firefighters were injured. The ship which caught fire, Grande Costa d’Avorio, held 1,200 vehicles as cargo for export to west Africa.

These vehicles were at least partially filled with both gasoline and oil, which likely fueled the fire and caused multiple explosions according to WSWS.org. In addition to the deaths and injuries, the blaze has the potential to release hazardous materials into the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area. 

Also, firefighters sprayed large amounts of water onto the blaze, potentially polluting Newark Bay with the runoff. 

According to United States Coast Guard officials, the fire is now contained and the channel was reopened to boat traffic at Port Newark.

“Firefighters and first responders consistently put their lives in danger to save lives in their communities.  We are deeply saddened by the loss.  It is a reminder that we all need to stand tall and advocate for full compensation, survivor benefits and for coverage that gives firefighters benefits under “presumptive cause” laws when they become ill,” said firefighter injury attorney Brian Colón.

Firefighters and their families who’ve been injured in the line of duty can contact the attorneys at Singleton Schreiber by calling 866-331-9303 or by emailing info@singletonschreiber.com

Port Newark Firefighter Injuries

The extreme difficulty of the Port Newark fire was unique. The president of the Newark Fire Officers Union, Anthony Tarantino, said the hoses available at the beginning of the blaze were too small.

He said the combination of fighting a fire in the equivalent of a 12-story building on a ship with a 1-inch diameter hose “caused the deaths of our brave brothers.” Another fire official, Chief Rufus Jackson, said fighting a fire on a cargo ship of that size was a unique challenge for them.

The fire apparently burned at high temperatures and spewed thick, black smoke into the air. Coast Guard officials acknowledged there was a likely environmental impact due to the fire, and the other firefighters may have ingested serious toxins while fighting the blaze.

The president of Gallagher Marine Systems, which is leading the salvage effort, stated that the concentrations of the toxic substance sulfur dioxide have been measured at unsafe levels two times so far.

The Newark Port, located on the Passaic River, is a bustling hub of industrial and commercial activities, handling a significant volume of cargo and shipments. In recent years, it has unfortunately become the site of a tragic incident that resulted in the loss of brave firefighters.

The Newark Port, with its diverse range of operations and vast warehouses, poses unique challenges to firefighting efforts. The storage of flammable materials, hazardous chemicals, and combustible goods significantly increases the risk of fires. The intense heat, heavy smoke, and structural complexities within these large industrial spaces can quickly overwhelm even the most experienced firefighters.

When a fire breaks out at the Newark Port, first responders face numerous obstacles in their attempts to control and extinguish the flames. The sheer size of the facilities, limited access points, and unfamiliar layouts make navigation and containment efforts difficult. Additionally, the presence of hazardous materials adds an extra layer of complexity to the situation, requiring specialized knowledge and equipment.

Tragically, despite their unwavering bravery and commitment to saving lives, firefighters have lost their lives in these challenging circumstances. These courageous men and women put their own safety at risk to protect others and ensure the well-being of their communities. Their dedication and sacrifice are a testament to their noble profession.

Incidents like these serve as a reminder of the inherent dangers faced by firefighters every day. They highlight the need for equipment upgrades and improved safety protocols to minimize risks and enhance the effectiveness of firefighting operations.

As a community, it is crucial to honor the memory of the fallen firefighters and support their families during these difficult times. Their sacrifices should inspire a renewed commitment to fire safety, emergency preparedness, and ensuring the well-being of those who selflessly put their lives on the line to protect others.

“This seems like a tragedy which could have been avoided,” Mr. Colón added. “It seems there was a lack of readily available equipment combined with extremely dangerous conditions. This is a recipe for disaster, and one those in charge should have been aware of. The families of the brave firefighters who perished, as well as the injured firefighters, are likely eligible for compensation and should contact an attorney right away.”
