Unresponsive pilot crashes!

This wednesday a small plane crashed near Muncie Indiana, with F-16's from the air national gaurd trailing. They were called in after the pilot failed to respond to radio calls. 12:40 p.m. the aeroplane crashed into a Randolph County, Indiana near Winchester. There was only one fatality, that being the sole occupant and pilot of the plane according to indiana state police as nobody in the area was hurt. It is said that this was a medical situation caused by lack of oxygen and investigators have no reason to believe it was an act of terrorism. At about 11:30 AM the India Air National Gaurd F-16's intercepted te aircraft near muncie. The airplane lost all communication with ground air traffic controllers after it departed from grand rapids michigan. F-16 pilots reported that the pilot was unresoponsive upon intercepting. The crash occured in a corn field where police and fire officials examine the Charred wreckage.
This sort of thing happens all the time, medical incident in a lone plane i think that the government takes it too seriously by suspecting it may be terrorism. It seems as though anything bad that happens can be called terrorism. However it's lucky that it happened where it did so that no people were harmed and there wasnt to much damage to the property of the farmer.

I agree with you, but I do not think that the Government should necessarily jump to conclusions that it was a medical problem which made this happen. It could have been terrorism, although I do not think so. But you never know what is going to happen.
