U.S. Military fighters trailing unresp. aircraft in Atlantic... UPDATE: Plane crashed near Jamaica

This is the last position view the 3D cockpit model displayed.

Rest in Peace to those who were on the ill-fated flight.

Very sad, was following this as well
Wonder what caused this catastrophic failure
Hopefully they can get to the flight recorders

Twitter is saying it crashed into the sea north of Port Antonio

Got an update:

The Jamaica Defence Force Coast Guard is reporting that the unresponsive plane has crashed near Port Antonio Jamaica.

The JDF says the plane crashed 14 miles North East of Port Antonio, Portland.

Jamaican News

Looks like they just updated that it didn't crash on land, rather in the ocean 15 miles off shore of Jamaica.

:-/

What a rough run, I feel bad for the passengers and crew.

FOX News said the plane belonged to Buckingham Real Estate. Not sure if CEO was on board.

It would be easy to do. Until the day the guy in charge finds out his wife is leaving him, or he's getting fired, and snaps.

It crashed in the water... soo sad

I think my app just messed up, because I'm showing he made a U-turn?

So this was just a blip? I didn't see the u-turn as my flightradar crashed but the u-turn was reported on one of the news channels aswell, it's certainly not near Port Antonio...

Apparently only two on board:

Larry Glazer's family has confirmed that Larry and his wife Jane have died in the plane crash. No one else was on board.

Indeed, the CEO just bought the newer model, the 900, not sure if it was delivered yet.

He had over 5k hours in the air.

Fox contacted the offices, who replied, "No comment", and the offices have closed for the rest of the day.

Normally, he is the pilot of this plane. He has a family. It is not known if he was the pilot today, though they state planes like this usually have only one pilot.

Not releasing the CEO name, pending confirmation he was the pilot.

Confirmation there were 3 passengers on board.

Interesting, wonder why the FAA report conflicts with 3 passengers onboard?

Plane belonged to Buckingham Properties.

will they shoot down the plane before it goes over Jamaica?

Seems like you won the internet.

My ass it crashed, I know that freedom heckling goverment who sent those fighters.

It depends. All aircraft, including military are changing to a self broadcasting transponder, called ADS-B. It broadcasts to other planes equipped with it as well as ATC, and doesn't require a signal to send the data. That is how these websites track them. All new aircraft and most commercial aircraft already have them.

Some military planes have already changed, and you can see them. They're usually changing as they go through depot level maintenance. Being military they also have the ability to turn the broadcast off. So if they have the new transponder, and if they're broadcasting you'll see them. Otherwise, no.

Maybe they mean those two and a pilot. Was he piloting it himself?

Someone bailed over Cuba? / sarcasm. Must have been an error in reporting or someone opted out last min, as happens many times in plane incidents.
