Can anyone explain to me why this plane turned around and came back over the US capitol building?

Do you think someone here has some information that the AP reporters covering the story and the NTSB don't have?

yeah, I thought there may be an airplane geek on here that understands autopilot systems. Finally found a topic you don't know much about.

don't worry, ernie,
josh will know.

Between ohio jones and electro-wiz, maybe some others, it’ll be covered.

“it is a weird”

i haven’t seen the pilot’s name. that seems odd. two young children on board.
it makes me remember Miriam Carey. “going after a mouse with an elephant gun.”

if the pilot had a heart attack, or other disabling problem, it may have been bound to crash.
seeing the fighter jets could have caused a heart attack.

innocent? or not?

I learned of this news event from MennoNet. I don’t even have any idle speculation to offer, let alone informed anecdotes.

My theory would be that the pilot may have planned to travel down to the VA/NC/TN or some other place in the south after dropping his passengers off in Long Island. If so he may have pre-programmed that next airport as a marker in autopilot. Normally he would have either hand-flown the landing and takoff in LI, or modified the autopilot route based on instructions from ATC. But if he lost consciousness before arriving in LI the jet would have potentially followed the programmed autopilot route on toward the next waypoint.

Like Josh, this was news to me. The circumstances actually look quite a bit like MH 370, which nobody here has solved yet.

Some of us are getting paid to not say everything we know about that one.

I watched so many conspiracy podcasts last week when I was home sick.... you could tell me it was aliens and I half believe it. Or US government skunk works
