And even if you do click on it it might not let you look. So the pilot calls the tower and tells the tower that his co-pilot just jumped out of the plane. This apparently messed with the thinking process of the air traffic controller. Very interesting little bit of audio. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paradiddle Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 That pilot is VERY calm and collected. I remember reading about this on the news - what a crazy thing to do... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubious Don #56333 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Well. Isn't he Mr Cool. Actually, he acted correctly. Probably more to the story. The ATC has the ability to replay the flight with radio audio which will give them a pretty good starting point to do a recovery search. Apparently, this particular incident wasn't covered in radar flight controller school ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Weird! Obviously the Copilot had some issues. He was also selfish and self absorbed and wanted others to be affected in his plot to kill himself. I feel for the people involved that they have to deal with this. I have no sympathy for the Copilot. He’s a douche and the world is probably better off with him out of it. Just calling it like I see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozark Huckleberry Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 The flight had diverted and although it's not mentioned, had likely declared an emergency at the larger airport. So ATC is juggling other air traffic to bring this guy in, dealing with stacking and/or rerouting other flights, coordinating emergency services for something that will be less of a landing and more of a (hopefully) controlled crash, probably mentally juggling options for dealing with a fouled runway, and then he gets, "My copilot just jumped out of the plane." ATC had a bunch of living people he needed to keep safe. He didn't need to be diverting his attention to deal with one dead one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
