Officials in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley region on Monday confirmed to the AP there were no survivors found of the four people on board a Cessna Citation jet owned by big time Florida Trump donor John Rumpel, who said his daughter, granddaughter, their nanny, and a pilot had been on the craft when it had inexplicably turned around Sunday afternoon while on approach to Long Island’s MacArthur Airport after flying from Elizabethton, Tennessee, likely due to depressurization.
The Cessna’s drift back in the direction it came took it right over the DC area, prompting fighter jets to scramble at supersonic speeds and the loud boom which startled many across the region on Sunday afternoon. “The pilot was unresponsive and the Cessna subsequently crashed near the George Washington National Forest, Virginia. NORAD attempted to establish contact with the pilot until the aircraft crashed,” said a spokesperson for NORAD in a statement after the chase.
