Palo Alto Plane crash

I can't vouch for the authenticity of this, but it was recorded from another website. Purported to be the sound of the Tesla aircraft that hit powerlines shortly after take-off.

That's authentic...It was recorded by the Cities (East Palo Alto) "Shotspotter" gun fire detection system, which the local police use to triagulate gunfire (East Palo Alto is high crime/gang area). Two of the microphones they have picked up the sounds (one was a block away from the crash site).

ps..the plane was a Cessna 310.
