It left NY this morning heading to Naples, the pilot stopped responding. Fighter jets flew alongside it and saw the windows frosted. Its currently flying over Cuba, will likely run out of fuel and crash. Crazy.

Yep, semi local to me. Kinda like the Payne Steward deal years back.

Doesn't sound good for anyone on board.

That thing left out of the airport thats like 10 miles away from my house. Thats crazy. Hopefully they figure it out.

According to a breaking news update, it looks like it crashed in jamaica.

Wow! I just texted my mom and told her about this. She put on CNN and she just told me the fighter jet pilot I guess could see the airplane pilots chest moving up and down as if he was breathing..

Confirmed crashed in the water 14 miles north of Jamaica.

No way, how the hell could he get so close? Oh wait, CNN.

That's what I thought too....

Yep, heard it's in the water now.

So will they just follow alongside and watch it crash if it is hypoxia? I wouldn't imagine there is much of anything they can do?

Nevermind missed the updates.

Exactly. Nothing you can do at that speed and altitude i'd think. Sad.

I wonder if they'd shoot it down if it was heading towards a populated area and they new it was about to run out of fuel.

I heard a private real estate bought it brand new in March of this year for 3.7 mil.
