So the Cessna was just flying to Long Island, but not landing? Did someone forget their cellphone or something?

Dumb of them to fly right over DC.

It is assumed, the theory so far goes, that the pilots/passengers were unresponsive - it was supposed to land in Long Island, I think, according to the flight data. But it u-turned and did a very remarkable straight-line flight over DC ... by then, apparently, unresponsive. Don't know all the details, but the conjecture was this wasn't a choice.[/quote]

I understand they were unresponsive as they apparently bee-lined over DC, but were they unresponsive beforehand? Approaching Long Island?

Presumably not? And they didn't violate DC airspace when traveling in that direction. https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/n611vg#3093ec91

A local (to DC) Fox affiliate correspondent seems to be picking up on and verifying what the amateurs and news hounds had begun to propagate. There's an apparent screen grab of an FAA statement floating around twitter with no direct links (having a friend who actually works at the FAA, I think it is easier for them to send out emails than get the website updated because... digital isn't a strong suit, so that jibes to me. But who knows). https://twitter.com/lucasfoxnews/status/1665461262489141250?s=61&t=PckSN3mS7uR02yTgDc2tCg[/quote]
