residenced, a small aircraft crashed in rural virch virginia, lucas is live with more. reporter: it started with the loud sonic boom here. and felt as far as annapolis maryland, dc national guard, scrambling alert fighter jets, we received a statement from norad, i'll go through the highlights: a business jet. over washington dc, norad aircraft were authorized to tramp at supersonic speeds, the norad aircraft used flairs in an attempt to draw attention from the pilot, the civilian aircraft was intercepted approximately 3:20 p.m. eastern time, the pilot was up responsive.

norad attempted to establish contact with the pilot until the aircraft crashed, no radio contact with the pilot, sounds he was unresponsive. the flight path that cessna citation business jet took off from a city in northeast, tennessee, and up to long island, it was supposed to land in islip before it turned and flew back on a southwesterly course. the f-16s were moving at supe supersonic speeds that is 761 miles per hour, there no indication that the plan plane was shot down by the if-16. >> thank you. >> we bring in jennifer

griffin. i know you have been learning new information in the last hour, what you can share with us. reporter: i spoke with norad several times in the last few hours, we have learned in addition to the two f-16s, that took off from andrews air force base. they responsible for the sonic boom that people heard here in washington, d.c., those two f-16s were joined by two f-16 fighter pilots from a new jersey base outside of atlantic city. there were 4 f-16s involved, i'm told dc national guard found the pilot unresponsive and intercepted the plane and watched as plane actually went down over the george washington national forest that sneer montebello -- that is near montebello, a lot of alarm, but we understand from secret

service that the president's security detail, there was no security hightened security for the president at that time. the plane had already crossed closer to stanton. we're getting unconfirmed reports there was one pilot and three passengers on board, but we're waiting to confirm the identities as well as more details of the flight. it is very notable that the pilot was unresponsive according to f-16 pilots when they fired the flairs. mornorad reiterates they did not shoot down the plane. >> this is guy benson, we hear that term unresponsive, could that be a medical emergency or unwilling or a potential threat? or a tragic accident. reporter: i think if there

had been a threat you would have seen a greater security alert in dc area, we heard briefly that security was raised at the capitol but only briefly, i believe the pilots in terms of unresponsessive th unresponsive. we don't know wa wan at this time it is not able change in path of pilot en route to long island from tennessee. that you know it is not able it turned around at one point. it might have gone into an autopilot mode. the pilot being unresponsive clearly indicates there may have been some sort of a medical emergency. >> a quick question about

the airspace that just flew over, i heard jon scott reporting since 9/11 you have to have advanced permission to flyover washingtwashington d.c., can you comment on that? reporter: yes, these protocols having the f-16s on alert status at andrews and up and down the east coast, i have flown with those f-16 fighter pilots in the back of an f16 from andrews up to new york. circles aron the statue of liberty and back that was put in place after 9/11 for incidents like this, in case there were some incursion into airspace, they are always on alert that is why you have norad, they protect homeland, this is seems as though the system worked today, the four of f-16s

launched as soon as the threat was known, we don't know status of the pilot or passengers, but i can assume very serious situation. >> jennifer, mollie hemingway here, the f-16 pilots that intersthepp intercepted this cessna citation. when we get an update on what they saw? when will we expect that and what would that type of update look like? reporter: i think, yes, i think at-this-point you have multiple agent agencies involved, not just norad, you have the national guard involved as well as norad. but you also have the faa, they will now takeover and investigate the ntsb, once you get the multiple agencies i also have state

troopers in virginia looking for the wreckage. now you have protocols in place where 'multiple agencies involved details have to go through those agencies, i imagine we will get more details, when they are released, at-this-point, i think they will want to know more about the status of the pilot, the passengers and the recover efforts now are still on going. >> jennifer tom shillue, i have a question about the way you work when something like this happens, the news is breaking, who do you call first? norad or pentagon or white house? or all of the above? who is your first go-to? >> the first call for me when this happened i wasn't working i got the message from fox. there was breaking news, my first call hearing the sketchy details was to call norad, i know they are

responsible for protecting the airspace over washington dc . and they will be the quickest point of contact, wwe have excellent sources having been at pentagon for 15 years, i have great sources at no yard, th norad, my colleagues were working phone chad pergram on capitol hill, and lucas tomlinson at white house. and my producer liz she is excellent and had her own sources. i was then cross checking with norad, it was a fool tefull team effort, we have pieced together quickly what happened, and there is more details to come. >> all right, jennifer griffin thank you so much for being with us on this early sunday evening. appreciate your time. and if we learn any new information we'll bring it to you. >> all right, folks next.

face firing, as workers are fired for trying to to what they thought of the right. tom what do you think about this issue of firing people who are taking on some of the shoplifters? >> i guess they should say, all right. go elsewhere, i don't know, they inup -- the ones who are heroes and want to stop crime, they shouldn't be working at a retail store, they are soul destroying places to work. let the shoplifters shoplift, they have given up. i think these people, they are heroes, i congratulate theme people who shays people into parking lot, init is dangerous, and probably not wise. they can't help but do it, usually it's a guy, who has values like maybe he was in the military or a younger sister, he wants to step up and be a man.

but, they probably shouldn't work for the places like lululemon. >> women two. two women were there let go, are they not the kind of employees you want to have. >> probably the retailers, knowing that insurancing not cover epences, but you don't want a society where people don't want to step in when there is a problem, you wonder if insurers are not insuring this type of thing because they know that governments are not taking care of environments in cities, how have government policies played a role. >> that depends on where you are, i lived most of my life in california, in say policy there that is really under fire, proposition 47 that took shoplifting crimes, theft and reclassified them from felonies to misdemeanors for anything under $950. that is a lot of potentially merchandise. someone can go in and steal,

who like their job want to react. firing people for violating policy just looks like such a bad move. when you are throwing up your hands and saying let them steal away. and we'll just you know write it off, in an insurance claim, that is a sad state of affairs, yesterday we were talking a crime relate the segment, about how a lot of stores in the city, chicago, san francisco, in a are putting much or not all behind plastic barriers, we have to call someone over to open it last night after dinner, i did a peloton earlier. i had a sweet tooth, i want ice crime cream, there was a bodega. they had ice cream locked up, he was apologetic, i said you lock it up, he said we have people run into the store, and steal pints of ice krea cream all of the
