lawn of the white house with more on this this incident was seems safe at the moment, but has certainly rattled otherwise quiet sunday afternoon. lucas question eric. it s not often hear sonic boom in the dc area, and that s exactly what people heard around 3 p.m. eastern time. the big boom is a sonic boom coming from an f 16 fighter jet as you mentioned launching the d, c national guard at andrews home, 100 and 13th win the reason they scrambled because there was an unknown cessna. we re told, flying a radically in the dc area ignore radio calls that have 16 was cleared for supersonic and but when the jets responded that cessna the faa says crashed outside of stanton, virginia, which is not too close to dc but certainly a strange twist, but certainly has a lot of people s attention here on a sunday afternoon in washington. there certainly is this especially at that says no 1, 72 or 1, 50, or skyline crashed. it s very odd. we don t know what may have brought that plane down.

is something they did. last year. it was around may or june of last year, where there was a plane that flew over washington, dc, and there was a miscommunication it was, you know, an event for the washington nationals baseball team at the ballpark there, and they actually evacuated the capitol. they went to read because there was a miscommunication at this point was supposed to be there that close to the united states capitol but again anytime they have any aircraft that pierces that security perimeter around washington d. c. they re going to take notice here in washington and they re going to do you know, take those measures to protect the capital protect the white house, etcetera, and that s exactly what they did briefly here and then i was told after the they cleared the capital. said there wasn t a problem here. that s when people heard the sonic boom. and so that s what lucas was was talking about here. scrambling the jets from joint base andrews just outside washington, d c to pr
. in this case. it seems like it. it s a blunder on the part of the pilot. but you did tell his chad that the virginia state police there s searching starts in virginia for that plane down plain and you mentioned how mountainous mountainous the train is. so it makes me think that if there is someone on board who has survived this crash, they may not even be able to get any sort of cell coverage out there to make a phone call. calls you get down in that part of virginia and i ve been down in there are a number of times. in fact, i have a good friend from stanton, who works here in washington, dc news to work on capitol hill and i just know how mountainous and world that area is. in fact, if you if you went back and watched the tv show the waltons that if that was set in that part of virginia bolton s mountain, it s very mountainous there and you re not going to have great cell coverage. the fog can roll in very quickly, and this is where the virginia state police are saying that they ca
here in washington, d c. a lot of tourists and things like that the congress was not in session or anything like that. we just got through with the debt ceiling. it s a different matter when we were all capital last week with the negotiations for the debt ceiling, but this sonic boom shortly after capital security officials reverted to the green posture with the air con is when they heard the sonic boom. and in just the past few minutes here , we ve gotten a statement from the virginia state police. that they are searching for a plane near stanton, virginia. now, if you look at this on the map, you might think it s pronounced haunted because it s s t a u n t o n its way up in the mountains in virginia, about an hour or so west of charlottesville but is pronounced stanton and the virginia state police say the following 3 50 pm the virginia state police were notified of a possible aircraft crashed in the stanton blue ridge parkway region. search efforts are still underway by state and lo
