(CNN) -- A small plane flew for hours unresponsive from Rochester, New York, southward before crashing Friday off the coast of Jamaica, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
The pilot of the single-engine Daher-Socata aircraft -- which had taken off from Rochester destined for Naples, Florida -- stopped responding to radio calls at about 10 a.m. ET, according to the FAA.
By 11:30 a.m., two U.S. fighter jets had been dispatched under the direction of NORAD to go after the aircraft, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said.
