The dumbest story u could possibly conjure. Dude totally murdered him.
He thought they were going to crash
Thanks
Flight box ? Where is that
Is there any evidence other than the pilot’s statement?
We don’t want people this unable to cope with life piloting an aircraft with other souls on it anyway. Good riddance.
Way to edit!
Life is not for everyone. A lot of people have zero coping skills these days.
All professional jobs need to back off from overloading their employees. Just because workers get stressed out, doesn't give employers the right to exaggerate the narrative. 🙏
Life insurance???
Unless I hear cockpit audio that suggests Crooks jump I don't believe it. I think he fell out. It's not a coincidence that the landing gear was damaged and he exited the airplane somehow. The surviving pilot can tell whatever story he wants. I'd think there would be a liability to say that he fell out. Seems like saying he committed suicide is a way to evade responsibility….but rightfully so.
The Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, he was crusified died and rose on the 3rd day, He paid the wages of our sin so that we could through him have eternal life. Please call out on his name so that you could have his free gift of salvation, and get to be in his presence for eternity. 😊😊😊💕💕💕💠💠💠💠❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏 God bless you, come join the family of Christ Jesus!! 🎇
Lol this is natural selection at its finest
good thing he wasn't a pilot on a commercial airliner….

He had already decided the error was going to be fatal, because perfectionism and anxiety do this- catastrophise outcomes in our minds to the point we panic.
This is why self-awareness and mindfulness of how our thoughts can falsely exacerbate emotions is such an important skill to learn.
Condolences to his family and copilot
Did he think he would lose his job ? Kind of an overreaction right? 🤷
I think he thought his dreams of flying were over and went all out
Wow, I which my wife would handle stress like that and her mother a copilot…lol
I feel he was pushed off the plane
The captain is supposed to go down with the ship. It is absolutely a very dishonorable act for the pilot of a plane to leave the plane before it touches the ground.
msdnc and jan6nn say that Trump influenced the jump.
Wtf does depression have to do with any of this? The guy was a complete lunatic with zero confidence in his flying ability, in the other pilot, and in the aircraft. Landing without landing gear or with damaged landing gear of course is dangerous, but not out of this world the pilot handled it perfectly. No pilot in their right mind would think, I'm just gonna jump out this plane and think that's gonna end well. Was he that terrified of maybe being embarrassed? Wow, just wow.
What has gotten in the water? There’s gotta be way more to this. One mistake that wasn’t even a fatal one and he kills himself?
Depression never let’s go. It just waits till your vulnerable to bite down twice as hard as last time.
🙏🏻🌸🌸🙏🏻
Byeden 9.1 inflation is the root th this man jumping
1:17 NBC "Low Talker" says where body was discovered but I can't hear his low talk description. Why does NBC hire people who run out of breath and talk so low? Also "after the mishap" he got up from his seat and departed from the back door …. indicating that he walked out of the airplane when it was on the ground, but obiously "after" now means a later flight. Fire this reporter … the description does not match what happened.
??
So sad. And unbelievable.
Very sad.
Makes absolutely no sense. Wtf would you jump from the plane?
Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Galatians 1:3-5
When I first heard of this story, I though he fell out trying to free the stuck of broken landing gear… crazy that he jumped…!
He was thrown out
Hey bro sorry but I gotta go can’t hang around for this flight 😂😂😂😂😂
The guy had head movies
No way he could have been pushed rightttt ?
That's a harsh penalty to bring on one's self. As a long time aircraft structures mech, I have made a few mistakes that ended up costing additional time and money. It's embarrassing. You generally have thoughts of ways to fix things yourself but common sense takes over cause FAA is spelled GOD. I feel for both his family and the other pilot.
Just a thought but I'm wondering if he was suicidal/homicidal during the first incident but couldn't bring himself to harm the pilot ..it wouldn't the first suicide by plane it happens more than most people realize.
Something fishy here??
