Plane Flies Unresponsive over DC....Crashes in Staunton, VA

WaPo: Owner of the Cessna Aircraft Confirms “Entire Family” was Aboard on the Plane that Crashed in Virginia – Pilot “Passed Out”​



According to an earlier report by ABC News, a U.S. official stated that the pilot of the Cessna appeared to have “passed out” while at the controls.


 
Sad....:(

The rate of decent till the crash was 20,000 FPM so if my math is right it was going about 228 MPH when it hit.
Much faster than that. It was cruising at 445 kts at 34,000 feet. With that rate of descent, it was probably supersonic when it hit the ground. Or it broke up on the way down.

If the cabin altitude was 8,000 feet, the sudden depressurization would cause the air in the lungs to triple in volume instantly. It basically sucks all the air out of the lungs. The passengers and crew would have had about 15 seconds of consciousness.

That is so sad. I didn't get to hear the news tonight as there was an ambulance emergency next door to a close friend.
 
First thing I thought of when I read the headline. Loss of cabin pressure.

Payne Stewart.
Yep, they all asphyxiated. IMO, they must have lost cabin pressure over NY, everyone died and the plane flew itself into a mountain.

Yeah, that seemed a bit "slow" to me too but I'd be the first to admit my math could be off. ;)
 
You haven't heard a serious sonic boom until you've lived on the space coast and heard the shuttle return. The Boom! Boom! And every window rattling and all car alarms going off is something you'll never forget. It's pretty freaking awesome!
 
The heading after the turn was a normal one for landing at the airport in NY. That must have been when the decompression happened.

After the turn, since no pilot took control and landed, the autopilot just kept going straight and level at altitude. Then it finally ran out of fuel, descended, and crashed.
 
My bet is the pilot had taken the shot at some point in time and the fickle finger of fate decided to take him then. Many pilots took the shot.

I'm surprised there was no copilot.
 
The aircraft was registered to a NRA board member.

Of course the left is orgasmic about it.

Now being a dark humor type of person I did give it a sensible chuckle but it just goes to show the mean-spiritness of the left.

Sounds like you are the orgasmic one here.

You are dumber than average. You should be proud. That is a tough standard to meet here.

The reports have the windows frosted over. A clear and easily recognizable sign of pressure loss in the cabin. Now how exactly did the Covid shot cause the plane to lose pressure?

If you were a little bit smarter you would claim the plane was sabotaged to kill off big time Republican Donors. But you are a half trick pony.

The donors are alive and well but they lost their only daughter and granddaughter, the pilot and child's nanny also perished.
 
Twitter is already flooded with the usual far right conspiracy theories because it's allegedly the family of a major Trump donor. CIA!! CIA!!
 


Looks like it went and made a U-turn at NYC then flew over DC and got the F-16 scramble.



More as i figure it out.


The fighter pilots saw the pilot slumped over the controls unresponsive. The auto pilot turned the plane around to its place of origin,after a new vector was not initiated, the plane ran out of fuel and crashed.

There was a two year old little girl and her mother on that plane. My sympathies to the family.
