      Or, just maybe don’t do drugs if you know you have to fly a plane soon and are possibly struggling with depression.

        He wasn’t flying the plane.

        He was getting a free flight from his airline because he was a pilot.

        Think it was a cargo plane so he was one of the only passengers. He freaked out, entered the cabin, and started trying to crash the plane. The actual pilots had to hit him with a wrench or something I think to stop him.

        And he took them like 12 hours before the flight, this was at the “this is a dream I have to wake up” stage.

        At least. That’s what I remember from one this happened, it’s been a minute

          That must be something else because he was charged with 83 counts of attempted murder. 1 for each passenger.

            He was in a passenger jet. He had a seat in the cockpit with the actual pilot and copilot.

          This sounds like the FedEx hijacking attempt, flight 705.

            Yeah apparently this is more common than I thought and I’m co flating the two.

            Thanks!
