The F-16 fighter jets caused a sonic boom while investigating the unresponsive plane, which was in restricted airspace over D.C.
WASHINGTON --
There were four people aboard the Cessna that had originally taken off from Elizabethton, Tennessee, bound for Long Island MacArthur Airport in New York, the FAA said. NORAD said the fighter jets "were authorized to travel at supersonic speeds" so it could catch up to the Cessna after it flew over the D.C. area in what a U.S. official told ABC News was a strange flight pattern over the nation's capital.
A U.S. official had previously told ABC News it appeared that the pilot at the controls of the Cessna had "passed out." The Virginia State Police said in a statement they were notified at 3:50 p.m. of "a possible aircraft crash in the Staunton/Blue Ridge Parkway region."
