September 25, 1978: Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) Flight 182 collides in mid-air with a private Cessna 172 over San Diego. The crash kills all 135 people on both planes and seven people on the ground. The jet shears the vertical stabilizer off the Cessna and the Cessna damages the right wing of the jet so badly that the jet banks uncontrollably, crashing nose-first into a North San Diego driveway.
September 25, 2016: Miami Marlins pitcher José Delfín Fernández Gómez dies at the age of 24 in a boating accident. Fernández is intoxicated with cocaine and alcohol when he pilots a boat at a high rate of speed into a jetty off Miami Beach, Florida, killing himself and two male passengers instantly.
