Fighter jets intercept private plane in restricted air space over DC

[@stephenmwick]

So sad. I’m proud of how our military responded though. My heart goes out to those that died and their loved ones who remain.

Watch CNN much?

[@WingsOfADream1]

"ran out of fuel" classic 2 bullets to the back of the head suicide look ;3

[@Warhorse26]

This had to be the most in-depth coverage of that incident, and I commend the anchors for the precise execution of the important facts.

[@Nighttactical]

Protocol of intercepting that pilot should know: morning time: if you’re being intercepted to jets appear, if they need to follow, they were gonna go to the other side of your aircraft if they use a flares and then turn to side pass your nose of the aircraft that means where they’re going circling around the airport with their landing gear on that means they want you to land at the airport ( night time: things will be different now when they appeared on their lights there were gonna be some visual on the aircraft, but the most important is the land if they need you to land, they will put down their landing gear and shined their aircraft lights and then you should turn on your navigation light

So they can scramble fighter jets for a business plane but not for 4 commercial planes on 9/11?

[@gnw1264]

Black swans are hard to predict...

[@kens97sto171]

it's BECAUSE of 9/11 that they now are more ready. Also they knew this aircraft was unresponsive. That was not true on 9/11 at least not with all the jets. Flight 93 that ultimately crashed WAS being chased by fighter Jets.

[@SteveR-ym3yc]

The commercial planes were not in restricted airspace, at least for 99% of their flights.

[@jeffreyrudolph5061]

No black box ?

[@Dylan_Sterling]

Some models of the Cessna Citation have black boxes, and if this one did, it’s probably being analyzed by the NTSB as we speak. But it’s not a requirement for light aircraft to have them.

[@lr2ldn]

That dog was like, "I'm outta here."

[@Fra93TheGrande]

Imagine making a mistake and being intercepted by a F-16 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶 scary!

[@mattjones8755]

Something fishy about everything

[@reecom9884]

The private jet appears to have been flying on autopilot with the pilot having inputted the flight waypoints to his destination; that accounts for the slight dog-leg in the flight. He also appears to have programmed the Flight Management Computer (FMC) to turn toward his assumed landing runway to intercept the Instrument Landing System (ISL) heading to intercept the signal. That final heading to intercept the ILS signal to land on the runway heading was the last program in the FMC accounting for the straight line return heading.

[@GeraldBoykin-dw9xe]

HYPOXIA made the whole Lear Jet crew fall asleep!

[@keithlewis4250]

The pilot fumbled that's all.

[@charlespiper9291]

When the missile hit that private plane, it caused quite a noise

[@mqb3gofjzkko7nzx38]

People heard the sonic boom several states over from the crash site. I don't think the two are related.

[@Atx.3359]

Looks like it was shot down to me

[@Dylan_Sterling]

Are you Stevie Wonder?

[@reecom9884]

A restrictive air space is cylinder column above the ground rising to a height level of 18,000 feet; the private jet was flying at 34,000 feet above the restrictive air space and wouldn’t have cause an immediate NORAD response. The time delay is reasonable for an assistance call from the FAA to NORAD to investigate.

[@donnalittle5453]

Truly that not rocket science.

congrats you just advocated for the government to pick who gets to tell you what if its such a problem for you to not read the same stories maybe dont go online or dont watch the same news story its literally in the title of the video

[@ahata7245]

It crashed or was downed?

[@siryeshe]

Just watch the video

[@Idontlikethisever]

Did they turned norad back on? What a joke

[@nedgivash5986]

"it apparently ran out of fuel and crashed", if you believe that then you also believe in the tooth fairy, santa claus...

[@Dylan_Sterling]

I’d say if you believe it was shot down, you have a higher likelihood of believing in those things, since you apparently believe in magical boomerang missiles.

[@snackler6102]

The only way to know for sure is to see how much fuel it left with, the planes total range and how many miles it flew before crashing But yes they probably shot it down when over an empty field

[@SteveR-ym3yc]

It didn't run out of fuel from Florida! Come on man! Pilot has to be awake to be escorted.They shot it down, which was the correct thing to do.

[@shawnthomas7404]

[@tomreid5002]

So proud of those air farce pilots for breaking the sound barrier over a city to intercept a cessna flying at 100 mph in their F16s. They saved the most popular president in US history, and the man who is the face of killing our country, and creating hardships on the American people. Those heroic pilots did all that, while busting the slaves windows with sonic booms. And they not only did that, but when they landed, they put on masks to show obedience to their govt gods!!! I am so proud of those F16 pilots for going up against a single DANGEROUS cessna.

[@rougelazer8278]

Lolll

[@potatosuc4950]

but f16s and sonic booms are cool

[@tadeob_]

I mean that Cessna could crash into multiple houses if they were a terrorist onboard

[@th3turb0lag]

They wear masks for oxygen, and the visors for the sun. They exceeded mach 1 because the cessna was going 70 to 80% of the speed of sound, intercepting the private aircraft would need a higher speed than that to reach it. Also, A sonic boom at such height will not break any windows, and if it did, you could make a claim.

[@KMT15]

This jet required 2 pilots. Clearly was justifiably shot down

[@Dylan_Sterling]

It is not a requirement for this aircraft to have two pilots, and it being shot down doesn’t make any logical sense.
