No survivors have been found among the wreckage of a plane that crashed near Washington DC.


The unresponsive craft flew directly over the nation's capital on Sunday afternoon, above some of the most heavily restricted airspace in the country, causing the US military to scramble fighter jets — their speeds caused a sonic boom felt and heard across the region. 


From Washington DC, Benji Hyer reports.
