Sounds like an example of where one of those giant parachutes would have been useful.

[@justinholgate6590]

Called hypoxia, it’s because the air up there is thinner and contains too little oxygen to feed our brains… so ur brain just slowly chokes to death basically

[@acr98disc]

They all suffered from hypoxia because cabin pressurization was not switched to "auto position". That happened when techs were working on aircraft before flight and left the switch off. Pilots didn't check it because normally it is always in auto position.

[@aboutwhat1930]

@@acr98disc Pilot failure then. There's checklists for a reason and I can guaranty that the jet would have had checklist items to check the pressurization system etc at least during startup. Newer planes should also have audibly and visually warned the pilot before the cabin altitude left the safe range. Next task -- get the planes to detect pilot & copilot consciousness. Descend to say 2300 ft above the tallest obstacle per GPS or to perhaps 7700 ft (to not interfere with cruising traffic and to be low enough to possibly enable recovery with decent fuel economy and at an altitude that clearly suggests to ATC there's an emergency onboard, even if the transponder is not functional).

He passed out from oxygen deprivation. Autopilot took over until the plane lost fuel.

[@kamraam1464]

Why are you commenting like you know this for certain?

[@cookiedefender566]

@Kamraam because it’s the most likely explanation. One of the F-16s reported frosted over windows, and it wasn’t a pilot medical emergency because then the copilot or passengers would have bathed in or something to call. The cabin lost pressure at high altitude and a mere second of that is enough to incapacitate anyone. Fuel isn’t infinite and the autopilot held following the previous set waypoints until it ran out of fuel and crashed.

[@tonymonxana992]

Believe what you want or what ever the government tells you. But there’s a huge possibility it was shot down and covered up.

As a rule of thumb, if you can hear a sonic boom without suffering any injuries it's probably far away, since (theoretically) the sheer force of the sound waves can shatter glass (windows, windshields...) below the plane and it can provoke serious injuries to the ear in a considerable radius (its not exactly a circumference due to the way sound waves shape around the plane and impact the surrounding air, but it carries the message well enough).

I spent most of my early adult life living in Marietta Georgia. This is the home to Lockheed Martin, as well as Dobbins Air Force Base. It was not uncommon to hear the occasional sonic boom. Whether it was Lockheed testing out new aircraft, or the occasional fighter jet doing maneuvers. (There was a naval base right across the street from Dobbins), Dobbins is home to a fleet of C130 aircraft, so we knew it wasn’t coming from them. But, being an aeronautical enthusiast, I loved every second of it, and welcomed the aircraft flying over my house regularly. Also, on a separate note, instead of using Atlanta Hartsfield airport, Dobbins Air Force Base, is the airport used whenever the President of the United States came to visit Atlanta. And, to be honest, I did not look forward to those days! They shut down all of the highways and side roads, so that he could make it to wherever he was going to speak that day. It interrupted everyone’s day. And BLOCKED up an already horrible Highway system!

RIP Auntie V sigh... it's sad to think u left JA to end up losing your life in this way... this feels unreal.. Jah know star...

[@aguywhoplaysgames]

As a Tennessean I can confirm this is what we would do if given our own private jets.

[@elliothartzler]

My brother was at six flags in D.C when the super sonic boom was heard.

[@Jmakesedits]

hey i live in virginia and actually heard it and was wondering what it was, but i know how it happened. the cessna wasnt pressurized enough so around the altitude they found the plane, the pilot was stumped over as he suffered from Hypoxia. the plane wasn’t even at its full altitude yet and he still suffered from hypoxia. the plane later lost fuel and crashed into the mountains. it’s very sad but what’s interesting is that the sonic boom could be heard from miles and miles away as it was over DC and my house is in virginia 30 minutes away. may the pilot and the other passengers on that cessna that day rest in peace.

It wasn’t a Cessna it was a private jet

Hello, pls recreate maverick's bridge stunt

[@aidenevans2209]

I was in DC for a school trip when this happened and it was crazy

[@boofs1]

crazy how I just realized I might've heard this in person.

[@texomafilms2475]

My neighbor was one of the F-16 pilots who flew up there. The man in the citation was a golfer who just won a large tournament. Then due to hypoxia passed out and crashed.

[@NietoKT]

Are you sure, that you are not mistaking this with another crash? Crash in this video had happened like a week ago or smth

High level assasination. Tier 1 some would say.

Nah most probably and sadly just depressurization.

[@camq-py7bs]

Basically the plane flew over dc and wasn’t responding to comms. I think that is the reason why they intercepted. Once those jets went supersonic the entire dc area shook. It was insane!

[@Apparition03]

For people who didn’t know: The plane autopilot lagged when the plane was turning , so it kept on going forward until the client unfroze; Sadly he froze while going down so he crashed into the mountain.

[@dwill6893]

I live in Central Florida and we have heard sonic booms my whole life between the space shuttles and rockets lol

[@lawrencedarmawan3164]

I think they were running low on fuel and had to do an emergency landing but their engine exploded.

[@cartersettimi7911]

I remember this, this was on my birthday. I was on the Queen Elizabeth cruise until I heard a boom

[@RAGE_Snail]

Cabin lost pressurization, lack of oxygen, everyone fell asleep one last time

[@privatepeepers2130]

That turned real dark real quick

[@sahudmoro3900]

THATS WHY I HEARD THAT AND SAW THE JETS IN MARYLAND OMG

[@WigsyDoesSimRacing]

Probably a rapid depressurisation, followed by the plane automatically turning around after hitting its destination at altitude, then running out of fuel a while later.

[@smilingp0tat044]

Oh so that's what that boom was. We heard it over base but was not sure what was going down

[@Caleb129O]

Another possibility that makes more sense is hypoxia which is the lack of oxygen which is near impossible to identify if not given the right training as it kills you slowly until you fall asleep, this would explain why none of the passengers did anything when the plane went off course and began to dive

[@eaglerare27]

Heard the Sonic Boom and knew what it was. Carried on with what I was doing. Thought it was cool to finally hear one

Fun fact almost all of the great barrier reef is dead and as a result the oceans are now far too warm for fish to survive in most places

That is irrelevant

Fun story, I actually got to go see the exact f-16 that intercepted the jet a few days ago, so that was nice, I got to see the inside of the cockpit and everything too.

[@TomCook1993]

So we never learned our lesson? We intercepted it AFTER it flew over DC? 🤦‍♂️

"but officer, free bird was playing!"

when this happened idk what was goin on but here in Florida 2 fighter jets ZOOMED passed my place heading north, so to me a little more happened than what they was telling us

[@stephenpeel6469]

The news said there was like a toxic orderless smell in the plane causing everyone to pass out hopefully they went in peace with no pain

What happened was it hit a government base that was later bought by company and now is used for work

Happened before 2000s with a Learjet, they used f-16s too
