Possibly a very unfortunate lightening strike? It would be way above any storm by then I’d suppose.

The Cubans would not be at fault if they shoot it down.

It'll probably fly right on past Cuba and wind up going over Central America (and perhaps beyond)

what is the range of this aircraft? if it took off from NY, it can’t have that much left, can it?

Could a Black Hole have swallowed the occupants of the plane or rendered them unable to talk?

Won’t take long to get past Cuba @257mph. Then it’s Jamaica’s problem?

Around 1500 miles I believe... depending on fuel and other factors of course.

That is my guess also. Strike odds would be meant for the US, not Cuba.

Pilot has not responded since 10:00 am and plane belongs to real estate company. Number on board is unknown.

This is the second "no response" from a "lone pilot" plane in a week. The other one crashed in Va and pilot was dead...but we don't have a result from an autopsy. (I think they found the body.

Something scarey about 2 planes s week before 9-11.

The craft did run through some large storms off SC in the last hour... maybe it was lightning.

Yes, I was just thinking about how close it is to 9/11. Yikes.
