UPDATE: Rochester Couple Believed to be on the Plane that Crashed off Coast of Jamaica

Update at 5:23 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 5, 2014: Larry and Jane Glazer of Rochester are believed to have been the occupants of the plane that crashed Friday off the Jamaican coast, according to CNN.

The couple are “longtime personal friends” of New York State Assembly Majority Leader Joseph Morelle, writes CNN, and they are prominent members of the Rochester business community. Whether there were any other people on-board had not yet been revealed by aviation officials at press time.

The plane crashed “14 miles northeast of the Jamaican parish of Portland, which is on the Caribbean Sea country’s northeast coast,” according to Jamaica’s National Security Minister Peter Bunning, as reported by CNN.

Initial reports said the plane was a Socata model TBM-700, but CNN now reports that it was a Daher-Socata TBM-900, powered by a Pratt and Whitney engine.

Update at 3:03 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 5, 2014: The unresponsive plane that took off from Rochester Friday morning has crashed off the coast of Jamaica, NBC News reports.

The flight was intended for Naples, Fla. but veered off-course. It flew over the Atlantic and Cuban airspace and tracked toward eastern Jamaica, according to NBC.

Exactly how many people were on-board has not been released. Reports varied from two people to three or possibly more. The plane, a Socata model TBM-700, seats six. At least one occupant was seen slumped over in the cockpit and appeared to be unconscious, according to reports.

United States and Cuban fighter jets followed the plane at various times.

Original story: A plane that left a Rochester, NY airport Friday has veered off-course and fighter jets have been dispatched to investigate, according to NBC News.

The plane took off at about 8:30 a.m. and stopped responding to radio calls at about 10 a.m., NBC reports. The plane veered hundreds of miles off-course over the Atlantic Ocean, and military planes radioed that the pilot in the plane appeared to be “unconscious and slumped over” inside the cockpit.

Officials told NBC the plane was destined for Naples, Fla. but entered Cuban airspace. The military plane stopped following the plane once it was in Cuban airspace.

CNN reported that the plan, a Socata model TBM-700, was expected to have run out of fuel at about 2 p.m. over or near Cuba. A Cuban fighter jet picked up the plane’s trail over Cuban airspace.
