Prominent Trump Donor's 'Entire Family' Killed in Plane Crash After Being Intercepted by F-16s Over DC
The Western Journal ^ | June, 5, 2023 | George C. Upper III

A frequent donor to the NRA and Republican politicians and causes told reporters that he lost several family members when a private jet crashed after flying through restricted airspace Sunday.

John Rumpel told The Washington Post that his “entire family” was on board the Cessna Citation that crashed near Montebello, Virginia, around 3:30 p.m. Sunday.

Multiple outlets, including The New York Times, reported that Rumpel’s daughter, 2-year-old granddaughter, and a nanny went down with the plane, as well as a pilot.

I haven’t seen (maybe I didn’t look in the right places)any comparisons to the Stewart flight...so you are more than right.

That is one egregious headline..................

Incredibly misleading with the inference that the F-16s had something to do with the crash.

Remember Payne Stewarts plane crash?? Very similar in some aspects. Probably loss of cabin pressure and hypoxia again.

“I wonder if that aircraft had a depressurization alarm”

The Citation CE560 has an annunciator system with Master Caution and Master Warning lights. When the cabin altitude exceeds a certain value (that depends on whether the pressurization system is set to normal or high altitude mode), there is a large flashing light right under the glareshield and then an individual Cabin Altitude annunciator light that illuminates.

Local paper described the whole thing as prominent Republicans. What the heck does their political affiliation have to do with anything.

Planes can be digitally hijacked... just like cars.

That’s exactly what got golfer Payne Stewart.

Sounds like a Deep State warning shot to all who would cross them.

Yes, It was at that moment that I first realized Elaine had doubts about our relationship. And that, as much as anything else, led to my drinking problem.

“‘Ghost plane’ crash that killed 4 left crater with few recognizable pieces”

https://nypost.com/2023/06/05/ghost-plane-crash-that-killed-4-left-crater-with-few-recognizable-pieces/

“The ”ghost plane” crash that killed four people — and triggered a sonic boom from F-16 fighter jets flying to DC to intercept it — left a “crater” indicating a near-nosedive into the ground, pulverizing the wreckage.

The private Cessna flew into restricted airspace over the capital Sunday afternoon, with the pilot appearing to be unresponsive at the controls, possibly rendered unconscious when the pressure inexplicably dropped. The aircraft then crashed near Raphine, Va., leaving a “crater” that suggested a near-nosedive crash, one of the first four responders at the site told CNN.

The horrific crash site had at most only four recognizable pieces from the plane, with a first responder noting: “There was nothing really bigger than your arm.”

Rescuers were only able to reach the site — in a rural part of the Shenandoah Valley — on foot, and no survivors were found, just human remains, police said.”

"lost cabin pressure"

Just a coincidence that the dead are prominent Trump supporters. Nothing to see here.
