WASHINGTON, Dhu-AlQa'dah 11, 1435, Sep 6, 2014, SPA -- A small plane from western New York that briefly flew through Cuban airspace after overshooting its intended destination in Florida crashed off the coast of Jamaica on Friday, federal aviation officials said. A statement released by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said that Larry Glazer, a real estate developer from the Rochester area, and his wife, Jane, were aboard the plane. The Glazers, both 68, are presumed to be dead. The Federal Aviation Administration had yet to determine how many people were on the plane. The plane, a single-engine Daher-Socata TBM-900, took off from the Greater Rochester International Airport at 8:26 a.m. and was scheduled to land at the Naples Municipal Airport around noon, according to FlightAware.com, an online flight tracking service. But at 2:15 p.m., after its pilot failed to respond to radio messages and fighter jets were scrambled to check on the plane, the aircraft crashed into the sea 14 miles off the coast of Port Antonio, Jamaica, officials at the F.A.A. said. --SPA 22:25 LOCAL TIME 19:25 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
