A private plane crashed into mountainous terrain near Montebello in southwest Virginia Sunday after it flew into restricted airspace over the nation’s capital.

The incident prompted F-16 fighter jets to scramble at supersonic speed to intercept the plane, which did not respond to repeated attempts to get the pilot’s attention.

The plane, identified as a Cessna 560 Citation V, was registered to a Florida business owner named John Rumpel. Rumpel told the New York Times and The Washington Post that his “entire family” were on the plane, including his daughter, 2-year-old granddaughter, her nanny and the pilot.
