SANTA MONICA, Calif. (November 14, 20019:04 a.m. EST)

- A twin-engine plane crashed and burned as it was taking off from the Santa Monica airport Tuesday evening, killing both people on board. The pilot apparently tried to abort the takeoff and the Cessna 340 crash-landed and slid into a guardrail, said Jill Barnes, a spokeswoman for the Santa Monica Fire Department.
