You are quite cold. People died, and you just go and dance on their graves.

The cause of the crash hasn't been determined. The plane may have depressurized, causing the pilot to pass out.

It was a Cessna, that is an unpressurized plane. Now it may be possible he tried to fly too high, but that is also unlikely. There is something that must have incapacitated the pilot. The plane was unresponsive to radio and on auto pilot.

It must have been terrifying to be one of the passengers and have no way to resolve the issue.

Why you can't refrain from trying to turn a comment on a horrible event into a political discussion forum spitball -- you need to examine yourself. And no, not with *that* either. lol

Wouldn't the radio have worked?

Hopefully they were all unconscious

So, rather than agree that my declaring, "I wouldn't have posted it" as being equivalent to my opinion of the post's quality, you demand that I apply different verbiage. Are others you converse with always so feeble? Furthermore, if my response was "exactly as you expected", why expect my response to be any different - unless you're being stubborn and/or dishonest?

(Or attention-whoring, which is the reality here.)

Probably some kind of medical emergency.

I didn't demand anything...I just reminded you what we were talking about....
Your continued responses were exactly as expected...i guess I was just hoping you'd realize that what you were posting had nothing to do with this and stop....I was wrong...I won't make that mistake again, I promise...;)

My guess is the folks in the plane were ignorant of how to work the radio. Once the pilot was out of the picture they had what must have been hours of terrifying uncertainty before they crashed.

Considering it was his daughter, her child, and a nanny... They may not have been able to move the pilot, too heavy for them or something. I don't know. It is just unlikely that they were also incapacitated. The story I read says that the plane suddenly turned and flew in one strait line from NY to crash into the "mountains" (folks in CO have a hard time calling those hills "mountains") in Virginia...

from my link in this quote said:
https://apnews.com/article/washingt...base-andrews-7116356c23f2ade0d6c842159e261f1b

The Federal Aviation Administration says the Cessna Citation took off from Elizabethton, Tennessee, on Sunday and was headed for Long Island’s MacArthur Airport. Inexplicably, the plane turned around over New York’s Long Island and flew a straight path down over D.C. before it crashed over mountainous terrain near Montebello, Virginia, around 3:30 p.m.

I can't imagine having to think about my daughter being unable to change what was happening to herself like that... I really feel for this guy. His grief must be immeasurable.
 
The Cessna 402 and 414, Cessna 335 and 340, Cessna 210 and P210, Piper PA-31 Navajo and PA-31P Pressurized Navajo are all examples of the same aircraft built in both pressurized and un-pressurized versions.Mar 2, 2016

faa regulations - When is an aircraft required to be pressurized?
 
It was on auto pilot fora long time


They had flown before in that very plane


They would have known how to use the radio
