What kind of plane is that? Fabric covered. A J3 Cub?
It sounds to me like it stalled at the banner pickup.

From the vid, low wing, strut braced, roll cage around the cockpit. Possibly Ag Cat or piper colt type?

Possibly a Piper Pawnee or a Callair.
It'll show up Monday evening in the FAA incident database.

A woman was killed at KSEE in El Cajon a few years ago after stalling while taking off with a banner. Myself, I think the banner advertising companies just use low power airplanes as a cost cutting measure. I see these little planes struggling along the coast past my store almost every day when the weather is nice.
There should be some sort of a horse power minimum limit put on those planes.

I didn't take any pictures of them, but it sure looked like glorified ultralights pulling some banners along the beach in Cancun in April.

Line Up and Wait
The accident photo looks like it came down horizontal and landed flat...then burned. The structure doesn't even look like it's crushed or anything. I bet it was fully fueled though, very sad...
