The pilot reported that, while on final approach at the airport in Los Angeles, the Beech B19 encountered wind shear. He considered performing a go around, but decided not to due to buildings, traffic, and pedestrians to avoid casualties.
Upon landing, the airplane veered off the runway and hit a fence.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and wings.
The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
About the time of the accident the wind was from 100° true at 10 knots, and the airplane was landing Runway 12.
Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll, which resulted in a runway excursion and impact with a fence.

Looks like this ole Boy needs some dual instruction and alot of practice in cross wind T.O’s and landings so he learns what to look out for.
