Family tells NBC News: Larry and Jane Glazer on plane; dead after crash | WHEC.com
A private plane with an unresponsive pilot traveled more than 1,400 miles over the Atlantic Ocean off the East Coast and into the Caribbean on Friday, with a fighte
r-jet escort unable to render aid.
The plane took off at 8:45 a.m. from the Greater Rochester International Airport, according to local officials. Air traffic controllers were last able to contact the pilot of the Socata TBM700, a high performance single-engine turboprop, at 10 a.m. the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.
News10NBC’s Amanda Ciavarri is reporting that the plane belongs to Rochester real estate magnate and developer Larry Glazer who is working on a $59-million plan to redevelop the former Midtown Plaza and also owns the Bausch and Lomb building and several other downtown Rochester properties. An airport employee tells us they saw Glazer board the plane. It is unclear if he is piloting the plane or if he is a passenger.

Jets trail unresponsive plane over Atlantic | National News – WPBF Home
CNN) —[Breaking news update, 2:04 p.m.]
There appear to be two pilots aboard the unresponsive plane now flying over Cuba, a federal aviation source tells CNN’s Deborah Feyerick. The source described the pilots as unconscious. Based on calculations of fuel known to be aboard the aircraft, the source said the plane probably ran out of fuel about 2 p.m. ET.

(CNN) — A Cuban fighter jet Friday was trailing a small aircraft that was unresponsive over the Atlantic Ocean and flying over Cuban airspace, NORAD said.
U.S. authorities say that they do not think the plane poses a security threat and that the pilot and occupants may be incapacitated.
The U.S. military launched a pair of jet fighters to trail the aircraft, but the U.S. planes broke off before reaching Cuban airspace 12 miles off the island’s coast, NORAD said. The plane was cruising at about 25,000 feet.
Ted Soliday, executive director of the Naples, Florida, airport where the plane was headed, told CNN that he did not know how many people were on board the six-seat aircraft. It’s believed the plane could be running out of fuel.
“Once it gets up that high, it can cruise at good speed with low fuel use,” he said.
Two F-15s had been flying with the plane east of Florida. The windows, according to a NORAD spokesman, were frosted and it was unknown how much fuel was left.
“We do not know the people or what their condition is,” Soliday said. “They been flying for almost five hours. That’s a long time for that aircraft.”
NORAD was in touch with Cuban authorities via the U.S. Coast Guard. The U.S. military jets will not enter Cuban airspace, a NORAD spokesman said.
The Socata TBM-700 light business and utility aircraft departed from Rochester, New York, with a flight plan to land in Naples, NORAD said. But the plane’s occupants did not respond to communication attempts.
