The pilot of a business jet that flew over D.C. and crashed in a remote part of Virginia appeared to be slumped over and unresponsive, two U.S. officials said Monday, recounting observations by fighter pilots who intercepted the wayward flight.
Police and rescuers reached the site of the plane crash in the Shenandoah Valley later Sunday. No survivors were found.
