Six fighter jets were scrambled on the afternoon of June 4 to try to intercept the private Cessna jet, originally on a flight from Tennessee to New York, as it encroached on restricted airspace around Washington D.C. The plane eventually went down in a mountainous area of Virginia, killing all four people on board.

The Cessna Citation pilot was "slumped over" controls when F-16 pilots intercepted the plane about 30 minutes before it crashed in Virginia, officials said.
