Plane that crashed in Virginia lost contact with air traffic controllers during ascent, feds say

  • An unresponsive business jet crashed in rural Virginia killing four people, the pilot and three passengers, after flying over Washington D.C., but investigators are still trying to identify the cause of the crash. One hypothesis is a loss of oxygen, which happens when someone's brain is deprived of adequate oxygen, specifically if a non-pressurized plane flies above 10,000 feet without supplemental oxygen.
  • Hypoxia happens slowly and the aircraft is often set to fly on autopilot; however, in this case, the plane suddenly turned around in New York and headed south again.
