Virginia News Roundup: Plane Crashes and Sonic Booms
A Republican donor, John Rumpel, lost his adopted daughter, Adina Azarian, and her two-year-old daughter in a private jet crash in Virginia. Rumpel had previously lost his biological daughter, Victoria, in a scuba diving accident in 1994. Azarian was adopted by the family at the age of 40 because she reminded them of Victoria. After Victoria's death, Rumpel and his wife bought an assisted-living facility in Melbourne, Florida, and named it Victoria Landing in her memory. The Cessna Citation crashed after flying through restricted Washington DC airspace and became unresponsive when intercepted by military fighter jets.
