I am watching the news and apparently a plane departed Rochester NY for Naples Florida and the pilot has not responded since 10 am. It has cleared Cuban air space and is headed toward Jamaica. It is being reported that hypoxia set in due to altitude changes and the passengers would have fallen asleep without ever suffering. The plane is expected to crash once the fuel runs out. It is described as a small corporate airliner. SCARY!
It just crashed on Jamaica.No further info as to where it crashed etc.
Prayers.
Unresponsive U.S. plane crashes in Jamaica
http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/09...tlantic-ocean/
CNN saying off the coast, in the water.
Let's not begin conclusion jumping. Several news sources have said that they plane crashed into the ocean 14 miles north of Jamaica.
So sad for the folks on the plane. Glad the plane didn't crash on land and hurt others.
It just crashed in the water north of Port antonio.
I am amazed at how far that plane flew on it's own. They had lost contact with the pilot hours before. On the news they are saying it probably just finally ran out of fuel.
This happened a few years ago in the US. I think the passenger was a professional golfer or something similar. When the pilot & passenger are passed out or deceased, the plane will continue on autopilot until the fuel is gone. The flight I'm referencing crashed somewhere in the mid section of the country, I think in a field/farm land. These things happen sometimes. Sad, but glad there were no more deaths.
