The pilot of a business jet that flew over D.C. and crashed in a remote part of Virginia appeared to be slumped over and unresponsive, two U.S. officials said Monday, recounting observations by fighter pilots who intercepted the wayward flight.
Police and rescuers reached the site of the plane crash in the Shenandoah Valley later Sunday. No survivors were found.
Flight trackers showed the plane dropped at one point at a rate of more than 30,000 feet per minute before crashing in the St. Mary’s Wilderness over mountainous terrain near Montebello, Virginia, around 3:30 p.m. Virginia State Police were notified of the potential crash shortly before 4 p.m. Rescuers reached the crash site by foot around four hours later. No survivors were found, they said.Boom across DMV a result of F-16 investigating jet
