No survivors were found at the Virginia crash site of a Cessna citation jet with an apparently unresponsive pilot at the controls and three passengers on board.
Two F-16s were scrambled out of Joint Base Andrews when the small business jet entered restricted air space near Washington, D.C.
Those jets created a sonic boom that startled many across the region as they raced to intercept the plane.
The military pilots tried to contact the Cessna pilot multiple times, even using flares at one point, and determined the pilot was incapacitated.
The fighter jets stayed with the commercial jet until it crashed in a remote area of Central Virginia.
The Cessna was registered to a Melbourne, Florida-based company.
According to the FAA, the plane took off from Elizabethtown Municipal Airport in Elizabethtown, Tenn. and was bound for New York’s Long Island MacArthur Airport.
It apparently overflew its destination and appeared to turn to the Southwest when radio contact ceased with the plane.
