Did anyone in MoCo hear it? If not, why would that be?

Takoma Park. Was sitting in bed and it felt like a tree hit my house.

Same. McLean.

I'm in Woodley Park and didn't know about it until my dad texted me to ask if I heard it!

My dogs in Woodley Park definitely heard it!

You could feel it, not just hear it.

Definitely.

I have to say that it’s weird that my dogs didn’t react.

We felt it in West Springfield, it felt like a big tree had come down. What was strange is that our dog heard it but wasn't concerned. I went outside to see if I could see any downed trees and the birds were chirping away, unconcerned. The animals heard and felt it but didn't care.

Heard it loudly in Capitol Hill.

I also heard it in Takoma Park. Loud enough for me to run around the house and then outside to see what happened.

Could hear it all the way out on the Eastern Shore of MD

I heard in Woodbridge. Was walking in a parking lot and heard but didn't feel anything. Husband was home and said the whole house shook.

How many times are journalists going to call the owner of the plane? They called once and he said his daughter was dead and he needed to keep the lines clear because he was in contact with the FAA. Do they need to keep calling enough that they have now said no comment?

I was deep in Tysons mall and didn’t hear it, but now am home in Alexandria and the flight paths out of DCA are weird tonight, looks like they’re climbing faster and a couple of planes have turned to go over this neighborhood instead of staying over the river, have not seen that before.

Washington Post called the owner and he confirmed his daughter, granddaughter and the granddaughter's nanny were on the plane. He said to please let him go because he was working with the FAA and he needed to keep the lines cleared for them. Politico called back an hour later to ask the guy's wife for comment.

UPDATE 8:02 p.m.

Fire/rescue has located the crash site.

Sounds like it was rapid decompression and all on board were unconscious before the crash.
