Two fighter jets had to cut off a plan that went into the restricted zone over Washington, D.C. area. The plane was being flown by a student pilot and no one else was in the plane. The plane landed without any problems and was met by law enforcement. The plane went into the outer ring of the restricted area but not the inner ring.
This incident deals with our government because the reason there is a restricted zone over Washington is in order to keep our President safe. If a plane is flying over D.C. the people who protect the security of our government officials will know something will be alerted to potential danger. I think it is a good idea to have a restricted flying zone over Washington D.C. So many government officials work in D.C. and this is a way to try to protect them. The events of 9/11 have shown us how important it is to secure our airways.
