Dana Hyde was a woman who died on board a plane that encountered severe turbulence while flying over New England. Cabin John’s Dana Hyde is also a former White House official. The National Transportation Safety Board and the FBI are investigating the flight from Keene, New Hampshire, to Leesburg, Virginia.

Dana Hyde was on a Connexon business jet with four others, according to the Federal Aviation Administration’s database. Hyde’s husband and son were on another plane diverted from Connecticut’s Bradley International Airport after witnessing turbulence. However, Hyde’s husband Jonathan and their son survived. Dana Hyde’s remains are with the chief medical examiner at the Connecticut office.

The NTSB interviewed flight crew and passengers to determine if they were wearing seat belts when the plane encountered turbulence. Cockpit voice and data recorders have also arrived at NTSB headquarters for testing.

Former President Barack Obama also picked Hyde to be the CEO of Millennium Challenge.

Jonathan said his wife will be buried in Israel because she “fell in love with the country, the language and the people” while working.

Deaths from turbulence are rare. However, the FAA has warned pilots to exercise caution when flying the Bombardier aircraft.
