You could feel it, not just hear it.

I have a camera on my koi pond and the fish went crazy when the boom happened.

ABC 7 is reporting that they attempted to intercept it but the pilot was passed out. Sad.

+1 It sounds like what happened to the plane with Payne Stewart on it BITD.

I was in the car right along the river in McLean at 3:10 and didn't hear anything. It threw right over my house in Arlington though.

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

Based on the flight data it was pretty high, like 30k feet.


Can cessnas do that? I didn’t think they could go much over 10,000 ft or so.


Cessna is a company that makes a lot of different planes. Some are like Gulfstreams, some are like prop planes.
