Death under strange circumstances: Small plane, headed for Manassas, crashes into Atlantic Ocean off Virginia coast

A single-engine airplane that was scheduled to land in Manassas crashed Saturday into the Atlantic Ocean off the Virginia coast, authorities said. The Coast Guard said the pilot, the only person on board, appeared unconscious as the plane flew southeast, at about 13,000 feet, through Washington's restricted airspace and eventually across Virginia's eastern shore. The plane eventually ran out of fuel and crashed about 50 miles southeast of Chincoteague, the Coast Guard said.
