Learjet 35A N880Z crashed in a residential area of San Diego on approach to KSEE, killing all onboard. It's very apparent from the audio that the pilot had become lost on approach and struck a power line before crashing:

Warning: Audio continues until impact and is pretty graphic:

That is tragic, and quite disturbing to hear the pilot in obvious distress.

Low and slow in a lear is not a good place to be, especially in marginal weather. Would have been a much better decision once sight of the runway was lost to pack it in and head back to a more accessible airport.
What's the point of an open door policy if inside the open door sits a closed mind?

I was reading that he called the airport and went VFR before he likely had the airport in sight. I was listening to ATC at SDL once and heard a GIV call the airport and saw him pop out of the overcast clouds about 20 seconds later, no way they saw it. This was after 2 go arounds.

Its a dangerous game to avoid a diversion.
