What was the big boom?

We are also Cap Hill and I didn’t realize till hours later that we did actually hear it. We just had a full house - two college students and three tweens. I just thought someone jumped or dropped something. It was loud though! Did not feel anything like the earthquake.

This is a weird news story- not the boom- but the plane flying 300 mi the wrong way, turning around and going over DC, pilot (and perhaps passengers) unconscious then finally crashing in VA.

Is it scary that no one caught onto the situation until they did?

If it hadn’t flown over the no fly zone/ part of DC, how long could it have been flying with no one knowing that it was unpressurized and everyone was unconscious?

Never fly in a private plane with only 1 pilot…

The boom was from the fighter jet
so you would’ve heard it in the DC area.

They may have never known they were unconscious and a different reason for a crash would be reported.

How did it go 300 miles in the wrong direction and THEN turn around?

How about people not amplify bullshit like this?

How about you not rush to judgement yourself? Pot. Kettle.

I don't think it went three hundred miles in the wrong direction? Looks like it flew to its destination and then not only didn't land, it turned around. Very weird. I was reading some aviation nerd reddit posts and it sounds like that's a feature of autopilot?

Sorry I must have misread. The reporting is confusing at best.
