Kind of weird that the story is more focused on the Sonic Boom than the death of the pilot and crash

[@lesleyphillips8146]

It was a leer jet travelling from Tennessee to New York carrying 4 people. It is a possibility that loss of cabin pressure at the 30 to 40 thousand feet caused all on board to pass out. Same as Payne Stewarts plane years ago. The comments of some of these people are outrageous...smh

[@Grastiars1]

DC has multiple layers of exclusionary zones after 9/11 to get jets in the air before they are in danger. The result of which means jets will intercept planes routinely for violating that airspace. First you get into the Special Flight Rules Area and, then Flight Restricted Zone, finally the flight prohibited area is the shoot down zone.

It's pretty simple. They are on alert. Meaning already ready to fly at a moment's notice. They are notified to grab the bus to the flightline. They board knowing there is an encroachment (which is why they are there on alert). They are given the call sign of the intrusion (if available) and a heading along with instructions on engagement...

Poor pilot. But you can't violate airspace in DC, they do not play.

[@haydend3469]

They’re worried about a sonic boom that people heard more than a pilot who was slumped over and died in a plane crash?

[@cg5782]

I hear them booms all the time way hi up plans and some are more crazy looking then the F117

[@haydend3469]

So they didn’t have footage of the jets?

[@TylerShaggy007]

Why is there a B-1 Bomber in the picture?

[@BBradshawProductions]

Why that private jet doesn't have a co-pilot? Did that plane lose pressure and everyone passed out? Are the passengers and pilot still alive? News are awfully vague these days.

[@magicunicorn6535]

In the 60s, when I was a kid growing up in L.A., we used to hear sonic booms all the time.

[@fastlifedreamer868]

Everyone talking about the the noise disturbance that bother them but none about the person/ persons on the plane that crash landed and may or may not died

[@lennychorn147]

Did the pilot crash or was he shot down?

[@LukeTG1_TTV]

So the science of how sound works is causing a news bulletin? 🤣

[@stephaniewood1547]

How far can a person be in relation to the jet that displays a sonic boom to hear it??? Like in the same state?

[@pinzei]

The thumbnail shows a B1 bomber and two F16s.The B1 bomber is not a fighter jet.

I’m glad the military acted quick 😊
