The Cessna plane they were traveling on plunged from the sky and crashed in heavy fog, smashing into military housing and torching cars.
It has emerged that the pilot was asking for reports about the weather.
“Alright. Doesn’t sound great,” he was heard saying.
“But we’ll give it a go.”
Williams, who played for the band between 2005 and 2016, and Dave Shapiro were among the victims.
Shapiro was a music agent, as well as an avid pilot with 15 years of experience.
His death was confirmed by his talent agency, Sound Talent Group.
Cops have not identified any additional victims.
But, two other STG employees died in the crash, according to Billboard.
The jet took off from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey late on Wednesday night.
It then made a stop in Wichita, Kansas, to re-fuel.
The plane spent around an hour on the ground.
Then, it took off en route to San Diego but failed to reach its end destination.
The plane came down just two miles from its destination – the Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport.
Before taking to the air, the musician shared a picture of himself by the controls.
Williams’ dad told TMZ that he was goofing off.
He confirmed that his son didn’t have a pilot’s license.
