Well, howdy there internet people, it's Bo again.
So today we are going to talk about what happened
in the skies over DC and Virginia.
And just kind of run through the information
that is available at time of filming,
which is early this morning, by the time y'all watch this.
Okay, so a civilian plane,
I believe it was a Cessna Citation,
overshot its destination.
By the time this was all said and done,
had overshadowed by 315 miles. It flew near DC, which prompted an elevated alert at the
Capitol complex. NORAD picked up the plane and F-16s were scrambled to intercept. These
F-16s, according to official statements, were authorized to travel at supersonic speeds,
which produced a sonic boom, which a whole lot of people in the DC area heard.
According to those involved, the F-16s did not
shoot down the plane. However, they deployed
flares in an attempt to get the attention
of the pilot. They were trying to make contact with the pilot.
Now, it eventually crashed in Virginia.
There is reporting that suggests
there were four people on board.
The owner of the plane is out of Florida.
There is a Facebook post that indicates
the likelihood of three of the people
who were on the plane being the daughter,
granddaughter and nanny of the owners, the granddaughter's nanny.
The fourth person is being assumed at this point to be the pilot, but that isn't actually
confirmed yet.
The National Transportation Safety Board is currently investigating.
So that's what's known.
There was, when it happened, there was a whole bunch of speculation.
Based on the statements of the spokespeople of the agencies who were actually involved
with this, I don't think there was anything nefarious about this.
This could be a medical emergency on the pilot's part.
There are a lot of various situations that could result in something like this.
So far, it doesn't seem to be that this was anything planned.
It seems like an accident.
There will undoubtedly be more information coming, but right now, it seems like an accident
that occurred near airspace that prompted a response and that's that's really all that's
known at the moment ntsb is supposed to be beginning their investigation in earnest on monday so
We'll find out more as time goes on.
Anyway, it's just a thought.
Y'all have a good day.
