  1. We need to find out what happened, why the plane entered DC Airspace, and why they went down. This is the 15th ghost plane NORAD had to shoot down it is sad when these happen. Any day now NTSB will find the black box that will tell us what was going on seconds before the crew got incapacitated and entered DC Airspace.

  2. If you guys let them pull a trick on you lol…

    1. Why they never sonic boom from they leave base ?????

    2. How all the jets reach the same time if only one sonic boom ???

    3. The plane is trashed…

    4. How did the plane lose altitude?????

    5. According to the flight data the plane should be fueled for the distance.

    6. No sign of plane structure damage before crash also no signs of engine trouble ..

    7. Also the pilot was consistently passed out in the same position hense if is passing out had cause the controls to decrease altitude that would have happened a long time ago .

    8. If it is due to passenger interference

    A. Why the passengers did not contact the flight tower ?

    B ) why did the passenger wait so long to act ????

    9 . Why cant they tell us how the plane crash if six military jets watching it go down ??? ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…

    Sorry for the sacrifices made in this situation but the world in very unjust ??? Might be climate change causes this madness ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

  3. Once he clear residential area they shot them down ..

    Common sense six jets one sonic boom ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿคฏ lol ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Š

  4. Talk about feeling helpless
    Prayers

  5. Yeah sure. What about all the tremors recorded shortly before the big booms. There was no Plane the Government is using the news to lie to everyone …

  6. usa spends so much on defense, but when they actually need defense they fail miserably… i think this is a mission failed, the pilot could have being saved but wasnt…

  7. Trump will get one less vote

  8. Outside DC??? It crashed way away from DC. It flew over DC while he was unconscious. People are acting like this was a terrorist attack. As far as the F16's, it was almost at its destination when it turned back. Not hard to come to the conclusion it was not a terrorist issue.

  9. Our own government shot this plane down

  10. Sonic boom! I always check to see if the pilot has grey hair before I fly. No one is allowed to fly me around town if they have zero experience.

  11. Condolences to all who knew them

  12. Because they are not armed same thing happened on 911

  13. Family of a Trump supporter.
    Looking like deep state just blew up a civilian plane.

  14. Sad. We'll see if it's simple heart attack, the number one killer of Americans and a disease that is nothing but a toothless, paper tiger in the vast majority of cases should people eat a proper, heart healthy diet.

  15. They woulda shot it down over the Atlantic like the spy ballon

  16. It is inadmissible and outrageous that accidents continue to occur due to hypoxia with so much technology in 2023. Why did a single f16 break the sound barrier? what happened to the second f16?

  17. The plane was on same level of 34,000 feet for minutes, showing they don't represent or pose a danger, only a ELM WAVE, was able to knock down electric and communication, why that was used to inability the plane. ?

  18. This plane was shot down.

  19. How do we know it wasn't Iran retaliating?

  20. My condolences to the families of all on board this aircraft. I immediately thought of Payne Stewart but then thanked god it wasn't terrorists. I'm amazed that they lost contact with the aircraft after 15 minutes yet no aircraft were in the air to investigate for some time. Fortunately it wasn't a terrorist hijacking a business jet and filling it full of explosives to fly into another building in NYC. FLY NAVY!!!

  21. Took the fighter jet 90 minutes to repond because Joe Biden is asllep at the oval office and not in control for those 81 millions supposedly voters of his !

    TRUMP the real ( Mvp ) …most valuable President !
    MAGA 2024

  22. that's why u don't fly private jets, not only bc of pollution, but bc of this sht, not to mention it doesn't look like there is anything anybody can do when that happens, so the multiple jets was just unnecessary, the Airforce just needed 1 to see where it was gonna crash.

  23. Hmm, 90 minutes seems like a long time to scramble alert jets.

  24. โ€ชIf the pilot was passed out, how could the airplane make a 180ยฐ U-turn and head back?๐Ÿ‘€

  25. The question is not about response time. The real question is what took place on the small craft. Your first question is that the aircraft began leaving the airspace before turn back around into Virginia and I thought you guys were much smarter than that. The craft was under surveillance by NORAD assessing the situation but not one phrase of explanation to that point. Creating more panic than necessary. I guess the paper on your wall are emergency stores when you have no more toilet paper. And you call yourself reporters/ journalists. Lmao!!๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  26. Joe gang killed the family including little child and nanny of Trump donor. The NORAD couldnโ€™t stop 9/11, but can eliminate some American family.๐Ÿ™‚

  27. I am sure they got there as soon as they could. Gee ppl give them a break!!

  28. Sonic booms, no big deal, if you're from the '70s and'80s
