Explosion heard in DC, shakes ground

nice headline....they know the cause but don't say in the headline.   some Cessna they say went into restricted airspace in DC area and it eventually crashed in mountains in Staunton area...for you yanks that's pronounced STAN TUN.   I don't wanna hear it.

Authorities say no connection between jets scrambling and sonic boom heard in DC area and the plane crashing about 150 miles away.   sure.

Do they know who was in the plane and are now absolving themselves which is more likely because if the pilot was breaching restricted airspace intentionally, they'd have been crowing about their success.

WASHINGTON – F-16 fighters from the D.C. National Guard scrambled Sunday at supersonic speed to intercept a private plane whose pilot was unresponsive, according to North American Aerospace Defense Command.

The fighters intercepted the Cessna 560 Citation V plane at about 3:20 p.m., and it crashed near the George Washington National Forest in Virginia. The pilot never responded to attempts to establish communication, according to Northern Command.

U.S. Capitol Police officials said they were working with federal partners to monitor the unresponsive pilot as the plane flew near the National Capital Region on Sunday afternoon. According to Capitol Police, the U.S. Capitol Complex was "briefly placed on an elevated alert until the airplane left the area." The intercept caused sonic booms heard across the Washington region, and the fighters also fired flares to get the pilot’s attention, according to NORAD.

So they say.

Shades of Payne Stewart..if true.

I'm sure they shot it down. Gotta prove they're real Rainbow Warriors.

I doubt it matters. Pilot was probably dead of Died Suddenly.

well the main thing is...at this point..can you believe anything out of gov't or out of media.   They've done this to themselves.

Does A sonic boom cause a flash of bright light? I don't think i've ever seen that.

They used flares to try to get the pilot's attention.  That would account for the bright light.

that's not the bright light seen on the ground by regular citizens.

Interesting how the media and the gov't are all over this and yet a chinese spy balloon did not generate this much explanations.

TWA flight 800/

They lie.

This is how liars and their lies get outed.
