According to the US New York Post, on the afternoon of June 5th, a small Cessna aircraft violated the no-fly zone in Washington, D.C. and was intercepted by fighter jets before crashing in the mountains of Virginia. At the time of the incident, the loud sonic boom produced by the American fighter jets in the sky frightened the public.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) stated in a statement that the plane took off from Elizabethton, Tennessee, with the original plan to fly to MacArthur Airport on Long Island, New York. However, the aircraft did not follow its original trajectory and even approached the restricted airspace of Washington, D.C.
The US Department of Defense stated that at around 3 pm that afternoon, an F-16 fighter jet was urgently scrambled from a base in Maryland to intercept the small aircraft, but there was no response from the pilot of the small plane to the roar of the fighter jet. The fighter jet noticed that the pilot of the small aircraft had passed out.
The small aircraft crashed in a mountainous area in Virginia at around 3:30 pm local time on the 4th. The crash was unrelated to the interception by the fighter jet.
Reports indicate that at the time of the incident, there was a loud sonic boom in the airspace of Washington, D.C., causing panic among the public. Some people reported that even their coffee tables were shaking. The emergency management department also responded on Twitter, stating that the sonic boom was caused by the flight of the fighter jet. (Overseas Network, Li Meng)
