They were being "escorted" because they would not communicate? Intresting.

Plane was being escorted as it was not communicating with tower.Where did you hear this?
To: VeniVidiVici
I lived and flew in and out of Charleston for years. The airport is basically a flattened hilltop where you had better land with the brakes on.
If you miss your approach, things are not going to go well.

Any idea of plane size? Cessna? Piper? Lear? 737? 747?

Where did you hear this? Local bulletin. Trying to confirm, as odd as that sounds.

We just heard about this on our local news in MN...Not the crash, but the fact that this plane came from Montana and was supposed to land in St. Paul, but just kept going southeast.
Do you know what kind of plane it was? We're trying to get more info.
To: SW6906
It couldn't be a very big jet. All my flights were on Brasilia prop planes.

My first guess would be a disabled pilot, or an electrical failure in the airplane.
And that's NOT an area you want something bad to happen in. Lots of stuff to run into (mostly of the cumulogranite variety).

Montana to St. Paul and it crashed in West Virginia? I'm having Payne Stewart flashbacks now.

I wonder if it's another one of those depressurizations where everyone loses consciousness and the plane just keeps on flying.....happened to some golfer, IIRC.

It USUALLY means they've had a comm failure. . .
Details are too sketchy right now to determine further. . .

Could be slow decompression leading to pilots becoming unconscious and plane flying on autopilot until it runs out of fuel, ie Hale Irwin.

I'm having Payne Stewart flashbacks I was too. Flight path took it over Chicago, hence the Fed interest.
Anybody from Charleston hear sirens? :-)

That's what it sounds like to me too moose. Decompression followed by incapacitated pilot.

West Va??
Was it a Robert C. Byrd Plane flying on a Robert C. Byrd approved route heading to a Robert C. Byrd Runway just off the Robert C. Byrd Tollroad flying over the Robert C. Byrd Stadium???
Or something else?
