DC Boom Mystery Deepens: Reports Jets Scrambled for Plane Headed to Nation's Capital;
• The Gateway PunditA loud explosion caused panic in the Washington, D.C. area Sunday afternoon. Flight trackers posted images of a private plane on the east coast that over-flew its destination, turned back and headed toward Washington, D.C. That reportedly prompted jets to be scrambled from to intercept the plane. Tracking shows the plane flew over D.C. and crashed in rural Virginia near Staunton.
Pretty sure we're sadly watching an aircraft about to be shot down. Overflow destination, never descended, NORDO, and headed right towards DC. N611VG #aviation @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/pJj21DjZ4x
