Chilling cockpit audio and dashcam footage sheds new light on the moments former Alaska Airlines pilot Joseph Emerson attempted to bring down a commercial flight with 84 people on board by shutting down its engines in October, 2023.
“I’m not ok,” a distressed-sounding Emerson says in the audio obtained by KGW Portland.
“What’s wrong? You want to be home?” a confused member of the plane’s flight crew asks.
Emerson then unleashes a string of expletives, and a struggle can be heard erupting in the cockpit of the San Francisco-bound jet.
