Two F-15s were launched Friday to investigate an unresponsive small plane over the Atlantic Ocean, NORAD said in a statement.

 

The Socata TBM-700, a light business and utility plane, took off from Rochester, N.Y., and was headed to Naples, Fla. The plane's occupants have not responded to any communication attempts. NORAD said the cause could be hypoxia. The plane reached the altitude of 25,000 feet,

MyFoxTampaBay.com reported.

 

A flight track posted on FlightAware.com indicates the plane had not made a planned turn toward Florida and had instead veered off into the Atlantic. The plane is currently over Cuban airspace.

 

"NORAD continues to monitor the situation in close coordination with the FAA. More information will be made available as it emerges," the statement said.

An unresponsive small plane that lost contact with ground controllers Friday morning during a flight from Rochester, N.Y., to Naples, Fla., crashed into the sea off the island of Jamaica, Jamaican officials told the Associated Press. 

The Socata TBM-700, a light business and utility plane, took off at 8:45 a.m. and its last contact was at about 10 a.m. The plane was carrying three occupants. 

NORAD said the cause of the lost contact could be due to hypoxia. A fighter jet pilot observed condensation on one of the small plane's windows.

Two F-15s had been launched to investigate the small plane over the Atlantic Ocean, NORAD said in an earlier statement. The plane reached the altitude of 25,000 feet, MyFoxTampaBay.com reported.

A flight track posted on FlightAware.com indicated that the plane had not made a planned turn toward Florida and had instead veered off into the Atlantic. The plane flew over Cuba. Once the plane reached Cuban airspace, the F-15s stopped tracking the plane.

"NORAD continues to monitor the situation in close coordination with the FAA. More information will be made available as it emerges," the statement said. 

The plane is reportedly owned by a developer from Rochester who maintains properties in Naples.

in a hypoxia situation at altitude without proper training to recognize your signs your time of useful consciousness and therefore your life span is measured in mere seconds... I well remember my trips in the hypobaric chamber to learn my own symptoms...SCARY stuff for real
