A 'ghost' plane crashes after crossing Europe with no trace of the people on board
NATO fighter jets inspected the aircraft during the flight but saw no sign of its passengers through the windows and no one responded to control calls.

A private plane that generated alarm and was escorted by NATO fighter jets as it crossed Europe without its crew showing any signs of life crashed off the coast of Latvia on Sunday, authorities in the Baltic republic said.

The Cessna 551 aircraft, registered in Austria, was carrying four passengers, according to its flight plan. However, fighter jets sent to inspect the plane found no one in the cockpit, raising doubts about what could have happened before the crash.

The plane was traveling from Jerez in southern Spain to Cologne in Germany, but changed course during the flight and air traffic controllers were unable to communicate with its crew, according to the Latvian authorities' statement.

The aircraft belonged to German businessman Georg Griesemann, his company, Quick Air, said Monday. The company, which offers charter flights, did not indicate whether Griesemann or members of his family were flying on the aircraft.

The plane took off from Jerez around 10:56 a.m. (local time), according to the FlightRadar24 website. It turned in Paris (France) and flew over Cologne in the direction of the Baltic Sea, until it quickly lost speed and altitude, according to the tracking of the aforementioned website.

"The plane crashed northwest of the town of Ventspils in Latvia, disappeared from radar," the Swedish Maritime Administration reported.

Warplanes from Germany and Denmark inspected the light aircraft as it crossed through their airspace, but were unable to establish contact, according to Swedish Maritime Authorities spokesman Johan Wahlstrom, "they did not see anyone in the cockpit."


The wreckage of the aircraft, a pile of debris and a slick of an oil-like substance were seen near the crash site, said Latvian search and rescue chief Peteris Subbota, who added that no trace of the passengers had been found.

So good to see you, your postings are very helpful to detox from the madness. I've been reading just a bit quiet as of late, I guess, but hanging in there.

Agreed, and same here, wasn't following this topic recently, but I am reading the posts now.

I hope I can pull things together somehow. Trying but I'm losing hope and that feeling of dread is hard to fight. I've been giving in and not going out, doesn't help that people around me are also hopeless and only see negative in everything and people here watch news 24/7 and wonder why they are afraid and worried. I just found out a man died here and I had not see him in quite a while but got my answer today. Sorry, guys, trying very hard to stay upbeat.

I will write before bed, but also sleep had been bad even though I lay there with insomnia can't sleep as I worry about so many things. Some (much of) my worries I've no control, but if the programs were to be removed and I was homeless, I would rather be dead.

Luckily I've never had to panhandle but I see many people this year out on the streets and I've given them some money, but if you get a chance to chat with some, they are mentally unwell and nobody would hire them to work. I can barely help myself. 

Ugh  ..... crap.. screw it.

Could you ask the boss to provide the headsets to everyone who watches TV 24/7, please?

...and in the meantime, you can put yourself the "QUIES" bubbles made from cotton and wax, or other defenses against noise...

Thank you so much and I'm sorry was not functional yesterday and hardly even remember it and though it was still Sunday. This happens to me and I'm much better and enjoyed 2 cups of tea and am trying to get back up again.

I do use ear plugs and, luckily others here keep to themselves, but one guy was hospitalized for well over a month and he doing better be I can tell heavily medicated. Yes, they need to control and limit the news because its so very toxic right now and they are scaring everybody, me, just not in the same way as we all have our own issues. I don't know what would happen to me if I was "dropped" from the programs but I know from a few guys on the street that there just is no help for some. Some guys tell me they were told some people are "beyond help" and this is sad reality. [edited - not allowed to talk about politics]

Sorry, everything is a mess now, and I need to just take it day-by-day at this point and try to just get up and be functional. Very easy to fall and I fall hard and crash. It didn't help I had a seizure that I'm fighting very hard to explain and I was talking to a younger fella that I run into and he also said the same and I just said to him, its better to be less medicated and he agreed.

Will write more late, but at the moment I feel pretty good, surprisingly.

Ugh ... I had to edit to abide by the rules. Very hard to not talk about it when reality is hitting you upside the head but this is a computer forum and I'm "grateful" that we still have it and I'm "mindful" that and appreciative that the staff allowed off-topic posting and threads here. 

Hopefully everyone is doing better than I right now.

Do I have to understand this in the first degree, or do you often fall? Are you able to walk?. I'm starting to have doubts...
It is good to use the defenses against noise, but even better is to talk to the neighbors, who may be in the same situation as you. It's better to communicate with the living around you - it's something else with us on the web... another dimension

it's something else..
