You sure he jumped….? A pilot knowing that he has no chance of surviving without a parachute? Let’s check all the recordings available because I am skeptical
I think this story is relayed very poorly and there are too many unanswered questions or else they actually mean to make it sound that way to stir controversy.
Toxicology report? Hallucinogenics?
This sounds like a Columbo episode.
I want answers !
Fishy.
This story exemplifies exactly what is wrong with so-called “journalism,” in this day and age.
Love the mysterious voice, unidentified, saying the pilot just literally told me my pilot has just jumped out." First of all, people overuse the word "literally" when making comments. Second of all, the pilot most likely would have said "my co-pilot" if the mysterious man on the 911 actually had talked with him. Third thing …why would a pilot in an emergency situation get his cell phone out and call 911 when he's got a radio and talking with the ATC?
Sounds like he got sucked out
The conclusions of the armchair investigators is hilarious. Settle down the truth will come out.
Sounds like it was homicide to me.
what is they threw him off and say idk guys he jumped
Check the flight path
"Out of character" for him to have jumped… Oh but maybe not anybody else. We're glad you made the determination it was "out of character" for HIM. Smoke screen much? Still can't get the name of the other pilot. You must think we're idiots out here.
Yean… jumping out of a plane without a parachute is "out of character " for everyone the planet.
I thought I heard the surviving pilot was his dad. Why would his dad push about the plane.
Most likely what happened is he manually tried to fix the gear or whatever issue there was and fell out or was sucked out. The airline is being slow and giving out the recordings and everything else because they are going to end up being liable when this is all said and done…
imo he was simply sticking his head out to get a confirmation on what was wrong with the landing gear. He wasnt wearing a harness, hit some turbulence and fell out. NO SUICIDE just a sad tragedy.
Let’s just hope that he wasn’t suffering from depression..
Alleged leap!
When it’s your time, it’s your time.
I realize the media can't be experts in everything, but these wild speculation results are maddening to the families involved and the people that understand the situation and what scenarios are possible and what is pure nonsense.
Hopefully he fell on a soft pile of compost or mulch.
