Pilot Who Tried to Crash Plane Says He

The pilot who allegedly tried to crash an Alaska Airlines commuter plane while over Portland told the pilots who overpowered him that he “was not OK.” He later admitted to FBI agents that he took “magic mushrooms” for the first time about two days before he tried to crash the plane with 83 souls on board. This is the same drug that psychedelic aficionados have been falling all over themselves to decriminalize all over the country. But fans of using psilocybin, the active ingredient in these “magic mushrooms,” say there’s no way the pilot would have turned violent and tried to murder passengers

I don't care at all what he may or may not have been "on". He did it, 100% certain and should spend some time in prison for that and NEVER again get into the cockpit of a commercial aircraft.

When you crosswire a brain with some damned psych chemicals, nobody has any idea how a particular person on a particular day will react. One thing is certain, they will NOT act normally. I really cannot understand the people who hate themselves so much that they have to take drugs of many types to attempt to escape from themselves. This just doesn't compute for me. It's why I don't drink alcohol. It changes me, makes me stupider, and potentially do dumb and dangerous things. I tried it a few times as a teen finally decided to never do this. I like being the way I am normally, don't want to be different, especially dumber, clumsier and less rational.

The pilot is attempting to mitigate the severity of his coming punishment, which will take him out of the world as he knows it. What's it going to be? Hobson has a choice. The hatch or the hoosegow? 84 counts of attempted murder ought to do him well. I cannot hope to imagine what this pilot was thinking. And why would Gov. Brylcreem want to legalize all hallucinogens in California unless he were a user himself? His policies provide unmistakable evidence of chemical stimulation.

What if he was trying to "save" the passengers? If his hallucinations led him to believe the engines were on fire, it would make more sense. Doesn't excuse it, though.

The article states he was awake for 48 hours. He consumed the mushrooms at the beginning of those 48 hours. The effects of the hallucinogen would have worn off long before he boarded the plane. He's deflecting his behavior onto the substance; he's got a lot more problems than the 'shrooms.

#8 is correct. No flashbacks from 'shrooms. The trip lasts a few hours, then it's over. You're no longer tripping. You've come down. No psilocybin excuse. This sick fellow just decided to kill everyone onboard that aeroplane, and was prevented, thank the Lord. It wasn't drugs. It was evil.

My oldest son is a Captain for a major airline. His emergency training assumes that anyone including the flight crew may "not be right". But to have a fellow captain or first officer sitting right behind you in the jump seat who suddenly wants to crash the aircraft is difficult to rehearse. Was this incident a one-off occurrence? I hope so, despite the worsening mental health crisis in Amerika.

In simpler, and pretty clearly saner times, half a century ago, I traveled across the Atlantic in Air Force jets a number of times as a college student, on military "space available" orders. I was welcomed into the cockpit of C-141s several times and being very interested in aviation and flight, had many hours of fun and education asking questions to the pilots as they sat there with their feet up on the glare shield, pushed back with the autopilot on. I was invited to sit in the jump seat, just behind the center console, between and slightly behind the pilots. Great memories, and sincere thanks to the pilots being friendly to a young college kid. Of course they were only about 6-10 year older than I was. The idea of hijacking or anything else harmful in aircraft hadn't made it's way into the world in those early '70s times. In fact there wasn't even a door between the cockpit and the rest of the aircraft, zero security checks. So sad to see all the true crazieness in the world. In those days, we were all a lot more trusting, Not so many crazies running loose, it would seem.

Li Keqiang, the former premier of China, is reported to have died “suddenly” on Thursday less than a year after stepping down from his post as the country’s second-highest-ranking leader. He was 68. A heart attack has been blamed for the death of the English-speaking economist who had once been considered a contender for the country’s top job, but was passed over in favour of Xi Jinping and then sidelined. He was the only incumbent top official who didn’t belong to Xi’s loyalists group, the BBC reports. State media said he died at 10 minutes past midnight on Friday despite “all-out” efforts to revive him.

Happy Wednesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) The most polarizing politician of the last 40 years is not, as leftists would have us believe, Donald Trump. For my money, it’s none other than His High Holiness the Lightbringer, Barack Obama. Seriously, the dude is irritating. Unfortunately, half the country thinks that he’s the most brilliant man to do brilliant things in the history of brilliance. Anyone who disagrees with that, according to them, is — say it with me — racist. One day, historians may decide that they are tired of embarrassing themselves and critically assess Obama’s legacy as president, which is especially awful when one is discussing foreign policy.

WASHINGTON - New data shows there have been over 800 carjackings in D.C. this year – more than double the total number of carjackings reported in 2022. That means the District is averaging almost three carjackings per day since the top of the year. Now, Metropolitan Police are looking for a group involved in one of the most recent armed carjackings in Southeast. Around 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 17, officers were called to the 4200 block of 53rd Street where a man had just been carjacked at gunpoint.

Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) Ever since September 11, 2001, Democrats have insisted that the real problem with Islamic terrorists killing innocent people is that innocent people might take a dim view of Islamic terrorists. How dare we? We’ve had a few discussions in the past couple of weeks about the Democrats’ inability to differentiate good from evil. Several times during the first week after Hamas decided to launch a terror spree by slaughtering a bunch of kids at a music festival, it appeared as if some Democrats might finally be breaking free from the hive mind and its knee-jerk Islamophobia chorus. I suspected that most of them

Following the Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel and the ensuing outbreak of another war in the Middle East, influential people in Washington, D.C., are already calling for the U.S. to take in Palestinian refugees. They couldn’t be more wrong. While the war is still in its early days, it is expected that up to one million Palestinians living in Gaza could soon become refugees. Progressive members of Congress and anti-borders groups are already claiming the U.S. has a responsibility to take in some of these refugees, but fail to mention that importing migrants from an area that glorifies and idolizes terrorists could put the national security of the U.S. at grave risk.

According to recent polling by the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, nearly half of President Joe Biden’s supporters believe the government should clamp down on objectionable speech. That’s right, among individuals intending to vote for Biden in 2024, 47% think “the government should regulate or restrict the expression of views considered discriminatory or offensive.” Considered “discriminatory or offensive” by whom, exactly? Sadly, the results weren’t a whole lot different for supporters of Donald Trump, 35% of whom purport to believe the government should exercise this control. Fools, all. Come to think of it, I find the poll and this report offensive, so I want government to regulate them.

The embarrassing impasse in the House of Representatives has finally ended, as Louisiana’s Mike Johnson has been elected Speaker. So, who is Mike Johnson, and why was he finally able to succeed where several more notable House members failed? I suspect that the answer has more to do with desperation than anything else. The Republican Party was made to look ridiculous, not so much by the party’s divisions as by the utter lack of party loyalty and discipline that was revealed by one failed vote after another. Most likely, Republicans coalesced behind Johnson–a little-known commodity, who has never been a committee chairman–to stop the bleeding.
