Investigation reveals details of deadly plane crashes in DC and Virginia.
TL;DR Summary
A federal report on the June 4 crash of a business jet that flew off course over Washington, DC, killing four people, revealed that the plane took an erratic flight path before plunging into a Virginia mountain in a "near-vertical descent" at high velocity. The report found no cockpit voice recorder or flight data recorder at the crash site. The plane's owner believes the pilot, who he identified as Jeff Hefner, probably lost consciousness from a lack of oxygen.
