Cessna wanders aimlessly over DC, intercepted by F-16's. Crashes. General confusion abounds

[Longhorn_Fan68 33938]

Another day in DC? Maybe. Wonder whose plane it was and who all was on board. In case this gets more interesting:

Quote

Reports from the FAA indicate that the plane dropped 28,864 feet in a minute.

Is that fast? That sounds fast.

Aviation subreddit speculates that the plane experienced a decompression/hypoxia event just before it descended for approach and the jets scramble because they were unresponsive. Plane did a 180 likely because that was the next waypoint in the nav. Ran out of fuel and plummeted to earth in a rural area. Best of a bad situation in that regard.

I don't think we are going to get an in depth explanation from the crew or passengers, but maybe that is me being pessimistic.

And somebody was saying the pilots saw nobody moving in the plane.  That has to be creepy.

1) do cessnas fly that high?

2) does matter fall 5 miles in a minute?

Should have taken a balloon and then no one would have paid any attention.

That tail number is a jet.  A Citation V.  They fly very high.

Yes, but how do they do low to the ground?

With the right velocity -- they pretty much vaporize.

Heard the sonic boom of the F-16 here in Northern VA.  Shook the whole damn house.

The private jet that crashed was registered to Encore Motors of Melbourne, Inc., out of Florida, according to FAA records. 

Barbara Rumpel is the president of the company. When reached by phone Sunday, her husband, John Rumpel, told CNN Barbara was safe and that they are owners of Encore. They did not want to comment further to CNN. 

Quote

On her Facebook profile, Barbara commented on an unrelated post of others asking if she was on the plane and sending prayers, writing, “My family is gone, my daughter and granddaughter.”

John Rumpel told the Washington Post his family members, including his daughter, a grandchild and her nanny, were on board. He told The New York Times the family was returning home to East Hampton, New York, after a four-day trip to his home in North Carolina, and added his granddaughter is 2 years old.

The odds of his seed spreading have been reduced.

Hypoxia is no joke, and at altitude wouldn’t take very long at all before everyone is incapacitated.  The Kalitta 66 ATC recording shows how impaired a lack of oxygen at altitude makes you…the pilot here sounds drunk until he descends, and you can hear the cabin pressure alarms wailing in the background but he seems completely unaware:

They think MH 370 was depressurized to incapacitate the passengers until their masks ran out, then the pilot ditched it in the middle of nowhere.  And of course the Payne crash, where the windows were frosted over.  Scary.
