Crash of a homebuilt plane into a California warehouse kills two and injures 19; door left ajar due to modifications.

A preliminary report by the NTSB suggests that a homebuilt Van's RV-10 plane crashed into a California warehouse after takeoff from Fullerton Municipal Airport in January, killing the pilot and his teenage daughter and injuring 19 people. The crash happened because the left door was ajar due to modifications that disabled the warning system. Witness statements and dashcam footage confirmed the door was open. The NTSB is expected to release a final report months later.
