According to the video, the pilot did declare a mayday.
Three people died when a small plane crashed into a field in Big Bear Monday afternoon, authorities said.

The crash was reported around 2:00 p.m. at the corner of Paradise Way and Maltby Boulevard, just east of the Big Bear Airport and across the street from several homes.

Multiple sources told KCAL News that the pilot was flying another person, possibly a friend, to purchase a plane in Big Bear.

The Beechcraft is registered to a man who lives in Riverside County. The flight started in French Valley and made a stop in Corona about an hour before crashing in Big Bear. At this point it is unclear if the pilot sent a distress signal.
