Heard what sounded like two distinct sonic booms immediately after totality started on the southern shore of Lake Erie. Some friends in Portland, Indiana verified they had heard the same thing there, too.

Here’s the flight path from the Cessna jet that crashed — looks like after turning to land in New York, it didn’t, it just kept going in a straight line which took it right over DC (causing military scramble and #sonicboom) and then into a mountain. The Cessna evidently didn’t respond to communication. Autopilot after the human pilot became disabled?

NEW: 📢 A small Cessna plane flew over a no fly zone in Washington, D.C. unresponsive this afternoon.

• F16's were then scrambled to intercept the unresponsive aircraft.

• The #Annapolis Office of Emergency Management confirmed that a sonic boom was caused by the #F16s.

• Moments later the aircraft crashed.

• Reports from the #FAA indicate that the #plane dropped 28,864 feet in a minute.
