The fact that he tried this off duty doesn’t make sense. If he really wanted to take a plane down why didn’t he just wait until he was the flight captain? Something about this story is really odd.
Maybe the jump seat is the most advantageous position for this kind of thing.
Personally, I think we're already in the middle of WWIII.
It is odd no matter where he is sitting. An irrational act cannot be understood by rational analysis.
Does seem weird, curious to know how he tried to shut off the engines from where he was or what his stated intention in doing that was
None of it makes sense, I smell a rat
I'm thinking it was an intrusive thought, they're spontaneous. The handles are bright red and right in front of him. They aren't planned.
The real scary bit of this is that he was a pilot, just wasn't working at the time. What if he happened to be the actual pilot and then get those dark thoughts in his head, maybe even when the co pilot gets up to take a piss, a lot more likely to carry out his plan. Alaska Airlines needs to up their game in psych evaluations on pilots me thinks.
It did happen before. Look up Germanwings Flight 9525. The on-duty pilot who was suicidal intentionally crashed the plane and there were no survivors. Malaysia Flight 370 may have also had this fate.
@@Retrovertigo53 In response to the Germanwings incident and the circumstances of the co-pilot's involvement, aviation authorities in some countries implemented new regulations that require the presence of two authorized personnel in the cockpit at all times.
@@Retrovertigo53 Not to mention the EgyptAir pilot over the Atlantic.
As ive said on another page unless you have ever had severe mental heslth issues you won't be aware that's it very difficult to diagnosed very serious mental health issues ie somrone needs to be a inpatient in a mental health unit for a month at least and then it can be missed you can't put every pilot at big airlines where thry may employ 100 pilots in a mental heslth unit every year, planes eoild never fly
From what I heard, he did NOT attempt to grab the throttles, but to full the fire bottles, which would have made the engines unusable. This reminds me of Fedex 705 from Memphis to San Jose where the guy in a jumpseat outside the cockpit tried to hijack and crash a DC-10. The crew fought him and won.
That’s correct. They were overhead, within reach from the jump seat.
Fire extinguishers, not bottles
FedEx guy had an ax involved as I recall and the plane was almost at vertical and almost did a belly roll.
It wouldn't have made them unusable they could still restart them but that's only possible if they have enough altitude. But this happened too shortly after takeoff.
There needs to be federal legislation banning off-duty pilots from sitting in the jump seat.
This is very disturbing and something to add to our already dystopian world!
Society as a whole has SERIOUSLY gone down-hill FAST ... !
What's an off-duty pilot doing in the cockpit of an airliner never mind the jump seat. Real dumb!
Well that ends that... the jump seat will probably be removed now and no one but on-duty flight pilots will be allowed in the cockpit.
I think you're right.
That's why I'm thinking pilots who are just trying to commute to work are going to be so pissed off at this guy.
Worry about pilots who are on duty and suddenly get a mental health breakdown.
That's scary too!
What was the names of the other pilots, just curious, this doesn't make sense
Praise God he wasn’t actually the one flying. Had he not been in jump seat and had been in charge he could have taken an entire plane down.
How do we know this really happened ?
Did you see the news???
@@susanshew2373 Yes. Do YOU literally believe everything you hear on america's MSM ?
fear mongering@@smesui1799
Come on, it was just a video for his TikTok, he was about to get on the intercom and say “it’s just a prank bro”
Everyone onboard got their "Halloween scare" early.
Was this guy taking any medication with the side effect "may cause suicidal thoughts"?
Maybe no one should be in the cockpit unless they are the flight crew.
It’s National Transportation Safety Board, not Bureau.
What do you expect from today's society where everything is expected to be handed-out rather than searched & researched out ... 😮
Sounds like he had a mental breakdown, hope he gets the help he needs, very concerning.
It sad that so many pilots are scared of seeking out help afraid of losing their medical and then things like this can happen.
The help he needs is to get on the no fly list.
Thank every God known to man you’re not a judge. Every criminal would be on the street with how illogically soft your judgment is.
@@albeit1 He probably won’t be taking any flights from his jail cell when he’s charged with 83 counts of attempted murder among other things.
Here comes the mental break excuses.
@@Grammichal he kissed his career and his freedom goodbye.
Hmmm? To bad no video but there should be audio. Be interesting to hear
Other pilots who are just trying to commute to work are going to be pissed at this guy if their seat gets taken away.
So, this mass-attempted-murderer would normally pilot a flight? Maybe do regular psychological evaluations from here on out.
All airlines need a psychological assessments for all pilots twice a year
They have them, and actually more too ... !
Not just pilots; most folks in today's decaying society need a psychological & psychiatric evaluation.
So what is the maximum penalty for this?
10 hours of voluntary community service...
The pilot's statement is treated as fact. There is no "allegedly"., which is normal Is there video in the cockpit? Is Emerson equipped with a headset? Are his and the pilots words recorded? Let's wait til we get the NSTB report.
His wife had told him off for leaving the toilet seat up,, I can see he would be upset about that!!!
Holy crap. But shouldn’t there be a safety system to not shut down the engines mid flight? Like the lever doesn’t move, etc
If there is an engine fire, those handles shut off fuel to the engine to prevent the fire from getting larger.
@@flower2289 damn, so the only safety precautions are to make sure the pilots aren’t lunatics
@@SL-eo5pzcorrect. There’s many controls in the cockpit that can be used improperly to intentionally jeopardize the flight. But they all must be quick and easy to use for safe operation of the aircraft.
Having the Crew look out for each other is really the only option to prevent such things.
Do you think he got fired?
Not if it's a union job.
Do you mean before the incident? No, or he wouldn’t have been in the cockpit.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894it is. But the Union can approve termination. Even if they didn’t, the FAA will absolutely revoke his pilots license. So if Alaska didn’t fire him, he will have to be a janitor or something.
100% Even at a union job. Man there are some bad-faith comments on this particular video.
Why was he in the cockpit???
Likely repositioning
Jump seats are reserved for off duty pilots in uniform and some other airline positions. Mostly used for repositioning of crew on full flights.
There's a reason not to let anyone fly in the jump seat. FYI 9/11 hijackers included at least one commercially licensed pilot. Did we want him in the cockpit?
It makes no sense ... Commercial pilots are normally Very Stable .. There must be more to the story then what we know.
He's probably a sleeper. Think about it... we're damn near in the middle of WW3.
There is more to every story.
Sometimes there isnt more to the story. Do you also think there is more to the "That Guy Is Not Really There!!" Story?
Huh? Do you think robots fly those planes. Pilots are human too and this is why the I'm safe checklist came out.
There, he probably get a pat on the back, and get a few bad boy bad boys, a pay raise, some nice pills, and a tv interview , all before he 8s escorted to the back of the plane, instead of getting a can of woop as -handed to him , to an inch of death . And , do you know why it never occurred. Because he has no fluids running through his face. Heck he probably back on the job now.
This would be the ultimate way to setup a disliked employee. You and your partner just plan this out. Maybe they have a sign and they both create a wrestling around sound. One yells out, “Don’t touch that. You’ll kill us.” Then you can both “subdue him” and “put him in cuffs in the back jumpseat”. Just saying everything isn’t always what it seems. And going solely off of witness statements and audio, can be a hindrance and a road block for potential undiscovered possibilities.
It's a weird story for sure, and they're already mentioning DA charges when it just happened
EXACTLY ... !
He whipped out that Ukulele one too many times.
@@jguillot72 Blahhaha. The Ukulele can just boil ya damn blood after awhile. Awhile= 3 min. 🤣
Did they forget to say “allegedly”?
I've always wanted to fly in the jumpseat. Seems even less likely now, at least in the US. 😞
Is anyone else tired of news readers making personal comments of their concern?
Yeah, I get it. Everybody prefers that nuts don't kill 83 people in a fiery crash
How about sticking to the actual information, like the guy's name.
Home bases with no seat how dare all of u put the person thru this
HOW DO YOU SHUT ENGINES ON? Thats like slambing a door open!
the fire system foam would completely prevent the engine from much intake of air and probably cause the combustion to not act normally. so its more like destroying the engine
I cant imagine he was trying to crash the plane otherwise he could have done a lot worse... I hope it was a joke gone wrong or anything else.
No mug shot ?
Sumpin almost went terribly wrong
Not worth commenting on google censored youtube where the 1st Amendment doesn't apply.
Alaskan had the Beebo incident, and now this.
The passengers are all innocent people. I wonder why would the guy tried to harm then. Must be very scary for the passengers
Please pray for the ill Pilot and his family wife, kids.
Must have watched the agentjayz video on losing all the engines.
I myself have been in many circumstances like this one. Every time I was able to STOP the person because I am a hero.
I don’t do it for the fame or the money, it’s just what I do to protect little people such as yourself.
great now FAA is going to come up with a new safety policy to shutdown every jump seat for off duty crew
I don't blame him, full sympathies. Perfectly rational effort to protect passengers from having to land in San Francisco, and then _be_ in San Francisco.
I can't believe the FAA is still letting this pilot fly. There's something wrong with the system when people like this get a pass.
They’re not! Obviously he’s in jail!!
He is not flying as of today. What reason did they have to decertify him?
What? 100% guaranteed the FAA is revoking his pilots license and Alaska is firing him. Plus I’m not sure he’s even be bonded out of jail. What gave you the idea the FAA is letting him fly?
You are nuts. This guy was arrested. Please stop spreading fake news.
What the heck are you rambling about? Of course he's NOT flying ever again.
That’s brilliant!! 🧠 Advertise on the local, national and global news about where the levers are and what they do. No such thing as copycats. What could possibly go wrong. ✈️
Do you see people hijacking planes on a daily basis trying to crash them into skyscrapers?
Just being Satin's Lawyer but arguably it's impossible to crash a plane by disabling the engines, as even with no engines a plane can glide to safety. Further, the off-duty pilot can try the old time tested tactic of "I was only kidding and/or you misunderstood my intent, I was only stretching". If they don't have video evidence it's his word against theirs?
If he was albino, they'll say he was just having a bad day. But if his name is Arabic, then they'll call him a terrorist.
Man aint nobody gonna be putting up with folks terrorism
Leave the 🍄 out of this!
So how does an off duty pilot get into the cockpit? Thought they reinforced the door after 9/11..??
He was sitting in the jump seat
@@ThatAverageMTBer ..off duty?
I wonder if he had been vaccinated
Did it ever occur to KTVU that maybe this has nothing to do with the actual story but more to do with a vast terror network testing the security of domestic airlines?
We got mental crisis in USA thanks to Biden 😅
leading by example by having a mentally diminished one in the white house
@@timby2383 HAD a mentally diminished one in the White House. "45" is currently selling nuclear submarine secrets to an Australian cardboard box maker.
Wow, UA-cam censorship is at it's best lately
There should be more editing out nutty posts, in my opinion.
@@GH-oi2jf Nutty per whose view? What nutty for you, Not nutty for someone else.

Just fyi - he’s an angry Trump supporter.
Sounds like another biden supporter
Guess that makes two of you!! SMH
But you turn a blind eye to the thousands of Trumpers who stormed the Capital and attacked police
Most likely a religion of Love follower🙏

What did the nursing babies, and poor cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys do?
@@Jgjginkg244Lol good one
No way. Trumper all the way: he was reaching around, grabbing things he shouldn't have because when you're a pilot, they let you.
damn, a palestinian?
David Emerson is definitely not an Arabic name.
Most likely a religion of Love follower🙏

Saw his picture, normal looking 40 year old white dude, wife and 2 kids.
His name is Joseph David Emerson, so most likely a BLM supporter, or pro-"Palestine" thing.
You remember the day of rage, right.
AND HE"S FROM "PLEASANT HILL". Its like they know about the problem! WELL. WHERE DOES GASIA LIVE? Not in Oakland like her BIO says! She lives in CLAYTON! SO SAFE THERE! So safe on peacock.
