Two U.S. F-15 fighter jets followed the plane over the Atlantic Ocean, but pulled away after it entered Cuban airspace, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) said.

The plane was bound for Naples, Florida from Rochester, New York.

From CNN:

(CNN) -- The U.S. military Thursday launched a pair of jet fighters to trail a small aircraft that was unresponsive over the Atlantic Ocean and headed towards Cuban airspace, NORAD said.
Two F-15s were flying with the plane east of Florida. The windows, according to a NORAD spokesman, were frosted and it was unknown how much fuel was left.
NORAD was in touch with Cuban authorities via the U.S. Coast Guard. The U.S. military jets will not enter Cuban airspace, a NORAD spokesman said.
The Socata TBM-700 light business and utility aircraft departed from Rochester, New York, with a flight plan to land in Naples, Florida, NORAD said. But the plane's occupants did not respond to communication attempts.

Damn, another plane situation smh. Hope it turns out alright but doesn't sound like it




Saw people talking about this online, so take it with a grain of salt, but they were saying the frosted windows signal is related to a cabin pressure problem and most people onboard are probably gone
 
Man they are going to have to figure out something to let people use phones on planes because this is getting ridiculous.

:smh:

Was it an instant death? Im pretty sure there was some type of warning something was wrong. Someone could've called someone, at least alerted someone of the situation.
 
Ok, so if they're over the Atlantic Ocean what are they supposed to do if they call someone?

FAA says the pilot has not been responding to radio calls since 10 a.m. EDT. NBC News reports that the pilot of the plane is unconscious.

More NORAD: fighters initially saw pilot slumped over, but then cockpit windows frosted over--sign of cabin decompression and hypoxia.

I'm confused is this happening today or happened yesterday
In the op the CNN quote said Thursday 2 fighter jets were dispatched
 
It's today. You know CNN, always in a rush to be first before all the facts are confirmed.

WATCH CNN: Unresponsive plane has passed over Cuba and is now heading over Caribbean Sea.

There appear to be two pilots aboard the unresponsive plane now flying over Cuba, a federal aviation source tells CNN's Deborah Feyerick. The source described the pilots as unconscious. Based on calculations of fuel known to be aboard the aircraft, the source said the plane probably ran out of fuel about 2 p.m. ET.
