Wonder how many times random “turbulence” is just my drunk pilot..
Kaii Gaming 🤣
Yup
Yep!! Sound funny hu!!🤣🤣
Kaii Gaming lmao
Scary shit honestly, I mean come on, he could have more integrity than that.
"he claimed he had 3 drinks and a beer"
So....4 drinks?
😂😂
😂😂😂😭 he tried
Lauren K hi cutie
DoctorChained he means drinks with hard alcohol 🤦♂️ you seriously didn’t get that..
Lmfaooo
Respect those who caught that. You saved countless lives
YOU DON’T SAY!
Eh, those planes pretty much fly themselves and hardly anything ever goes wrong. Now it's totally unacceptable to fly drunk, I agree, but chances are no one would've died as a result of his actions.
@@mattsupertramp6506 For it to fly itself he still needs to tell the plane what to do and most times the pilots will land not the AP but ur right that most likely the plane would have not crashed since the FO or captain idk which one he is will be able to fly the plane
@@justicelucas1116 Yeah right there's always two people flying the plane. Also he probably knows how to fly/enter commands/talk to ATC down to muscle memory so even after three drinks and a beer it's unlikely he'd mess up bad enough to cause a serious accident. Flying a plane isn't like driving in that there's much fewer situations where a split second decision is the difference between life and death. Windy landings might be sketchy though, that does look like it takes a lot of precision.
You could count them
Imagine spending all that money on piloting school just to throw it all away for some drinks?
Edit; I love how everyone in the comments is complaining about alcoholism and how it's not just "a few drinks" y'all are missing my point. Smh. He threw away his schooling, and rep, that is all I am stating. I am very aware of alcoholism, witnessed it my whole childhood, and I even dealt with addiction myself. Drank almost every day for 2 years, quit cold turkey. Been sober almost 3 years now. Addiction sucks, let's all hope this guy gets help. So chill, in the comments.
Absolutely! $80,000USD is nothing to sneeze at!
One is too many, a thousand is never enough.
Yeah! He will never fly anything again. So dumb
Alcoholism
@@coppermoth6069 yeah . The only drug that whose withdrawals can kill you, you can buy it from a gas station…but marajuana is still illegal

There's a pilot shortage. They need all the pilots they can get
"Over the limit for pilots.." I would think none, is the correct limit.

You can get alcohol from certain foods.
Yeah , no limit would be almost impossible to actually be inforced
@@vinos1629 isn't the legal limit 0.0 for drivers under 21 though?
men yoongi no it’s .04
Officer: How high are you?
Pilot: No OfFiCeR, iT’s “Hi HoW aRe YoU?”
Lmao wat 🤣🤣🤣🤣😭
That man is the first officer. The discussion would involve the captain asking him the question and then later on reporting him :)
ROFLMAO
Let’s just praise the security for doing its job & being so observant and got the pilot off the cockpit. Good job. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is Philippines he was in the cockpit not on it 🙈
Got him off the plane and out of the cockpit
He was on top of the cockpit? No wonder his drunk ass got caught
@@macman975 it actually should be also out of the airplane!!! Just like out of the damn cockpit! No difference! He obviously wasnt doing anything on the roof of the plane
@@dreamthedream8929 Never teach English.
They need to breathalyze every pilot before boarding
Hue Vang wish I could like this a million times
Right!? Seems reasonable since our lives are at risk!!!!
That’s what i was thinking. It would make things safer for everyone.
@Martha Speaks no it doesnt make sense. Yes every job has consequences, let's take the worst case scenario: if a surgeon is drunk, he kills 1 person, if a pilot is drunk, he kills hundreds, See the difference ? To be honest testing all these kinds of jobs is not a bad idea at all, but it is unnecessary for most, except the pilot in my opinion
What of he drops a tab of acid
Once a month a pilot is arrested for being under the influence. Scary stats.
DefinitelyNotGeorge either way those are terrible numbers.
Not what they said. Listen again..
Willis What Chu Talkin Bout
Do I need to quote it for you and provide a time stamp?
2:26 “according to the latest statistics, it’s about once a month in the US that a pilot is arrested”
Listen again.
@DefinitelyNotGeorge there's only 250k pilots in the world, and keep in mind most planes are carrying at least 200 people, so having only 1 drunk pilot a year is dangerous enough. and those are just the ones who get caught. my guess is because almost all of piloting is controlled by autopilot, even landing and takeoff require little work from the pilot, plus the cost of rescheduling a flight is such a pain and expensive for both the airline and passenger, that they intentionally let pilots fly drunk
DefinitelyNotGeorge you’re a fucking idiot
I don’t think it was the first time he flew the plane drunk
I can assure you it wasn't. I know the guy personally. I myself am a commercial pilot. I've had shots with him in the cockpit on two separate flights. Love flying buzzed up!

Breathalyzer for every pilot before any flight. End of story.
UPDATE: I still stand firm on my perspective. Why are we comparing daily drivers to commercial pilots? Two different situations especially when you're not behind the wheel... My point was, we need to have some sort of mitigation when there is no other way for the contingency of saving YOURSELF. Yes, we need to check for integrity and the only innocent or moral way of doing so is/are breathalyzer(s). How about for "during flights" you may ask. Each flight has a co-pilot. He/she would HOPE will attempt or take charge. What blows my mind is how, how many people disagree or complain about why it's necessary. If an occurrence were to happen and it was the cause, you would hope for this change. Why do people only act when an instance happens. If there is a probability or risk, we should prevent or reduce its odds.
Jeff Marz I’m shocked they don’t.
Em Gee We have breathalyzer tests for drivers, unless you’re talking about for each person driving before they step foot in a car and drive to work or whatever. Which I’m wondering how on earth would we realistically regulate over a million people (if we’re thinking US only here.)
Em Gee I don’t think it’s ridiculous. People pay a lot to get on planes it’s a business, these pilots are there to do a job like the rest of us working adults. I’d also say bus drivers should get the same treatment. They’re both under companies that are able to record such things with more ease. Look I’m not saying riding a plane is safer or more dangerous. Frankly I do not care. But if regulating it is possible, then why the heck not. Hell, if having a breathalyzer test for every American driving a car was possible I’d agree with ya there too.
Jeff Marz my exact thought when I clicked on the video
Do you know how impractical this is?
This man just thought a DUI wasn’t enough, he wanted a damn FUI.
😌
Flying over the instance
@@franklinclinton5967 no it’s under influence
FWI
@@franklinclinton5967 It’s under the influence.
I don’t care how much it would cost but every pilot should have to take a breathalyzer test before boarding the plane. Not only are they responsible for the people on board but also the people who would get hurt on the ground if he would crash.
Yup
I remember Denzel in Flight. They need to pee in a cup.
No shit einstein
Problem is I heard many airline crews. Drink during the job. You can have all the test before. But wouldn't matter.
Kingley45.....
All yall agreeing to breathalyzer before flight's have forgotten about the 4th amendment. NOTHING trumps the Constitution try as they may. Fear turns to slavery every time! TSA already has too much power over private, unarmed, innocent citizens! You can surrender your 4th amendment rights but no thanks to all ILLEGAL searches in any capacity for me!!!!
Why aren’t all of them breath checked before boarding? It’s such a simple task that would show extreme trusts.
stats show that there are more bus and train accidents caused by drink driving so the law would have to require them todo the breath check first and that would be unreasonable but unfortunatly politics would argue this and it would never happen. the only chance for this happening is if the air ports put into policy that pilots are to be drink and drug tested before takeoff and maybe the fcc could push this as well but then the pilots union is going to get into the way and them does this apply to smaller airports where planes land and take off with no personal onsite at all. also then theres constitution stuff where your presumed inoccent until guilty and some may argue that requiring everyone todo this would be like saying they all drunks and guilty of drink driving/flying .. operating a vehicle under the influence. basically the crap shoot that these basic things bring to politics is what stops progress. and trust im in agreement on the dink test for these large comercial flights and maybe even small charter planes as well. but life brings fights and arguements and nothing ends up happening. it will take thousands to die before action is taken for any issue. my prayers and hopes for the future is we start preventing things instead of fixing things.
You dealing with governments , a few thousands lives have to be lost first, and then breathalyzer test requirements can be a conversation, you see they need numbers first, no numbers yet.
Are you kidding? That would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. GTFU DUMMY!
@@georgeedward1691 lol at 100’s of thousands. You can buy Breathalyzers for 25 bucks that work perfectly …. even if they spent for nicer ones that 120… pilots have to check in at the same gate in an airport… mr pink is why the future is screwed! Not worth the cost of saving people from injuries and death due to drunk pilots…
If my workplace for first responders can require a “ready for duty” test that takes 30 seconds to say no to covid symptoms and requires a temperature check. I’m pretty sure it ain’t hard to have a breathalyzer exam. They could install one in the cockpit and have it require a test prior to starting the engine, throw a camera in the cockpit as well to make sure they’re doing it correctly and also to observe any gross negligence and it can be all done for less than $150-$200 per plane, probably less if the software was already in place
The pilot was already flying before even entering the aircraft.
Lol. He was alright😂
Hehe 🙃

“Once a month a pilot is arrested.”
....what
I literally reveresed in time to check what he said to make sure. "once a month" that´s scary AF
Alcoholism, depression, and divorce are sadly commonplace in our industry. Best thing to do is call out sick and get some help before its too late.
@@Franklin-fp9nk Once a month isn’t scary. That’s 12 times a year, and you have to look at how many airports are in America.
Once a month is one too many times... imagine how many slide through without being tested or caught 😬😲😵
Also. For every 60 seconds a passenger rides A Boeing 777, a minute goes by. Fact.
Talking to a pilot friend, this is much more common than people think. The FAA prohibits pilots from having a any record of certain anxiety or mental health problems and flags any pilot if they seek therapy or treatment. Most deal with their problems on their own and self medicate with alcohol which leads to abuse. Pilots are people too. We all have problems.
That’s a pretty bad policy on the FAA’s part - like you said, we all have problems, and I would rather pilots be able to talk about those problems in therapy
As a pilot, we can’t be medicated. A lot of those medications don’t let us fly. I had depression but I got over it. Had to do what I had to do so I can fly. It actually made me feel better than a bunch of stupid medicines
I think the job is incredibly stressful, with long shifts, hence the self medication!
That auto pilot giving them to much confidence

@@GovernorRiffRaff you may need to talk to someone about ur anger issues boah
Haha! True.
There are critical situations when we fly manually
@@justinroberts1369 Yup. Agreed on that part!
This made me giggle: "In dire need of an ironing." 🤭😂
That made me pause too; a drunk pilot possibly putting putting people in danger and we're talking about if his shirt was ironed or not??!!! Your comment made literally LOL cause I was like OK I'M not the only one.😆😆🤭🤭🤭
Man was acting very sus 😳!!! Glad they voted him out before he could kill some innocent crewmates.
@@justgojustdoit3363 I work in security and that’s actually something to pay attention to. Little details like noticing a pilot has on an slightly unkempt shirt when they’re usually meticulously well groomed is how you suspect something may be off or irregular.

Once every month!! Once too much indeed.
Precisely
How u going to tell someone they can’t drink ?

So you guys don't drink at all I take it......or less than 12 times a year??
@@ShrimpDaddys Oh watch the video before you comment.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome aboard and look I really love you, no just listen , I really, really love you bro, are you looking at me? So relax and enjoy the flight”
Oooh. I would be inflamed with the use of "bro".
It's uncomfortable.
@@please.665 my apologies. I should have said “ I love you non binary person who’s sexuality remains fluid and self defined”
@@Struieboy I'm not sure about that part. But it always makes me grate when I hear white people say "bro" to black people, particularly older black women.
It's like them using the n word, or calling someone "woke".
White America adopts African American Vernacular English, and generally a decade behind and then begin to use it to seem ...idk. Down. Or it's said in a mocking way.
To bro or not to bro?
It's not a question. Do not bro.
@@please.665 in my feeble attempt at humour , I put the word “bro” into the mouth of a drunk pilot.
Perhaps you could list all the words that you would like us to cease using? Obviously you will have to elaborate on wether White people saying the words to Black people offends you as much as Black people saying the same words to White people or even White people saying the same words to other White people.
You could publish ‘Kelly’s book of acceptable words for a vibrant multi dimensional non judgemental fully integrated world” Sure to be a best seller.
. Your equating the “N” word with the word “bro” is particularly interesting.
@@Struieboy I'm not the only person of color who deems the use of these words racially charged!? Most black women I know do not appreciate being called bro. It's both sexist and racist to call a black woman such.
This is about a respect. So I know you meant it as innocent, but you never know who you risk offending.
That's the whole point.
Youre the one who responded with gendered terms. I let you know that's not the problem, the problem is racial.
Consider it, and consider the words and sayings you use and their appropriateness, is all. Using bro to the wrong person comes with risks. I don't even know a black man who thinks its ok for white dudes to call them bro.
Consider.
This is really helping with my flying phobia
I wouldn't worry about it, planes are all autopilot anyways. Pilot is only there as a plan B.

He should have given up alcohol/drugs/whatever in exchange for his pilot's license.
If he was smart he would have done that.. but he was arrogant and a liar
Facts I'd turn around and say you know what I think I may throw up and then go the toilet for 10 minutes then come out and say I was sick and I'm off home
@@samiamserenity Have you met pilots?
Why did you take that long to breathalyze him? You let him get away with it because of that.
Yeah, that seemed very suspicious to me too.
anyone can refuse a breathalyzer. even a drunk driver can refuse it.
@@SynthD bullshit. They should be subjected to the same laws as motorists meaning at the officer of the law's discretion. It's still public property but if the FAA objects then get a new group of cops to specifically deal with them like the military does with their personnel. This is egregious.
In India, It is mandatory for pilots to take breathalyzer test before every flight
If he refused to take the breath test, they’d likely have to write an affidavit for a search warrant, find a judge to review it, and upon obtaining the search warrant, take the pilot to a qualified medical facility…. None of that happens in 2 minutes.
Could’ve had an officer there in 5 minutes with a breathalyzer, versus waiting two hours for his liver to process most of the alcohol.
Or, he was never drunk? Lack of evidence is not a conclusion of guilt. As an aside, the pilot seems to be walking normally in the video. Usually drunk people can hardly stand up, which is why officers administer walking tests to suspected drunk drivers. Perhaps the pilot realized not to get on the plane with a bottle of alcohol, so he remembered to discard it. Doesn't mean he was ever drunk.
@@mvpfocus Keep in mind that not drunk =/= legal. Aviation regs are MUCH more strict on blood alcohol concentration levels.
You cannot fly if you’ve consumed any alcohol within the last 8 hours (even a drop), and you cannot fly if your BAC is over 0.04%, which is half of the legal limit for driving in most USA states.
@@guitarstuffs1236 Doesn't change the fact that we have neither of those data points on the pilot, here.
@@mvpfocus Fair enough, but I believe it’s illegal to smuggle alcohol through security as well isn’t it? If it weren’t illegal to have alcohol, why would the pilot intentionally hide & throw it out?

There aren’t enough good words to describe the the gratitude everyone feels for all the security personnel doing their job. Needless to say the security team is saving lives, as the pilots that do drink before a flight, may think otherwise.
With aviation technology being so advanced at this point, human interaction will always be needed.
A message to the pilots that do drink before a flight…..you don’t have the right to be careless with the lives of the passengers. Don’t forget that everyone on that flight has a family, and they will be permanently effected by your carelessness. FIND ANOTHER JOB IF YOU’RE BORED BEING A PILOT.

I believe this happens more often than you think. All and every pilot needs to be tested before boarding any plane.
Undercover Air Marshal should also be onboard to do a random breathalyzer testing.
That will never happen.

Nope, not going to happen. But it would be OK with me if they did that to career politicians.

Completely false statement. Do some research next time.
Alcohol: ruining one life at a time.
In this particular case, possibly ruining almost 300 lives.
Alcohol: saving one swimmer's ears at a time.
They should have a sobriety test for the pilot everytime they have to work because he's working with other peoples lives & his/her own.
no kidding... so many lives depend on them
the airline industry should have some sort of amnesty policy for pilots who admit they are unfit to fly, so they don't feel pressure to hide it and fly anyway to avoid getting fired. seems like pilot substance abuse/mental health issues come up a lot.
They do. It’s part 117 in the CFR.
They need to do drug and alcohol test before they are allowed to fly. They have too many lives in their hands. It dont take but 5 min to do a test.

Quite. On one early morning flight, pilot, copilot and 2 cabin crew were all busted - by the airline's ground staff (at a small airport).
... alcoholism? It's quite rampant.
No pilot or driver should be intoxicated especially risking lives of others.

Rubies and Jaspers Jasper, just some facts, your actually most likely going to just walk away alive in a plane crash, it’s proved by statistics of plane crashes. Second, most accidents happen in landing or takeoff. So your not going to plummet 40k feet. Third your most likely going to get something happen to you in the airport rather than crash, but you could have phobias etc so it’s not your choice

I don’t mind that pilots drink. I mind that they drink when they are supposed to be stone cold sober. Drunk driving is bad enough. Drunk FLYING?! Completely unacceptable.

There’s a limit for pilots.......??? It should be no alcohol
Constant 8 hours before each flight and lower than .004
Cazual US ahh
Constant Yep, it’s strict but it should be
Who else thought he was drunk and arguing in the thumbnail that’s why they clicked the video?
This was just the first time he got caught.
Exactly
He’s clearing not drunk. He’s just high.
"Just high"? Ffs.
Hes trying to work with Nelk. He's a full sender.
Full Sender would have chugged in front of the checkpoint.
Chris Cotton Underrated comment
You would think pilots get tested before boarding if they are sane to pilot
Two and a half hours before testing shows they were giving him time to sober up
I was a flight attendant back in the day when security checks were pretty casual for airline personnel. On layovers, some pilots would hang out in the hotel bars, getting drunk, rowdy, and inappropriate. They may not have been drunk on the flight next day, but they were certainly extremely hungover. Looking back, the level of professionalism was awful, but stewardesses, as we were called, had no power to curb their behavior. Not all of them were like this, but enough to make the job difficult.
Lies again? Passengers should go for medical screenings before arriving at airport
Yet extremely hungover IS in fact being drunk on the job...then and now. I understand your dilemma though.
@michaelpratt7150
No. Being hungover is a withdrawal symptom, so you cannot be drunk on the job if you are hungover.
Residues from alcohol remain in your system 24-48-72 hours and are detectible via a urine sample. Chemically, alcohol sometimes easily takes 8-12 hours to be flushed entirely by your body. If you stop drinking at 2 am and go to work at 9 am...get my point ? So any hangover still has evidence of some sort of alcohol within your body. This is why the cure many times is the hair of the dog that bit me, which only puts MORE alcohol into the body.@@azula3906
Pilots need to be paid better. Streesful job.
@Jerry Ogburn what's enough?
Probably all you need to know with the quote... “Three drinks and a beer”.
No officer I haven’t been drinking, I’ve only had beer all night!
How is there even a legal alcohol limit for pilots? It should be zero!!!!!
I worked at Star lodge hospital which is still there. A rehab and we had a contract with a prominent Airline- lots of pilots- who came for a "vacation" lol and one stewardess who had brain damage from alcoholic poisoning- at age 33- pretty sad- she was a permanent resident there as she was related to the owner-

Damn, I’d be the happiest dude alive to be a pilot, dream job.
All pilots have anxiety and some sort of PTSD. Like 97% of them. Not worth my mental health
@@escalona8764 how do you know that. Are you a pilot?
@@billrussell4832 no I'm not a pilot but I have many friends who are. The job is shit just how the other guy said they barely make money. I have 4 friends who are pilots. Can't say the name to which airlines they work for. I was looking into being a pilot. Every since 9-11, that job is shit. Pay isn't the same, working conditions are shit meaning they have you back to back and are forced to take stuff to stay awake. Jet lag is a huge deal.
Erick E. how much money are we talking about?
Starting pay for a pilot over 100k minimum
There needs to be more measures in place to prevent this. Imagine if the pilot was drunk, but not drunk enough for it to be obvious.
It is mind boggling that someone is willing to give up their highly skilled career just to be drunk. So many would like to become a pilot but never was because of different reasons. These men already reached their status and then will just waste it just like that.
“Over the limit for pilots” wtf?! There shouldn’t be a limit, shouldn’t have a lick of alcohol
THE FriendlyPotato1 the limit is .04 and no drinking within 8 hours of flight.
Oh my goodness... This reminds me of a flight I took years ago.
I was going up to my hotel room, carrying some ice...
These pilots and stewardesses entered the elevator, the smell of alcohol was very strong...
Before getting to my floor, they left the elevator, only one pilot stayed with me... he was drunk!
He asked them to continue partying in their hotel rooms. They told him, no, we see you tomorrow morning.
The moment he noticed I had ice, he asked where was I having a party! I don’t think he liked my answer: this is for baby bottle!
One time landing in Florida for a family vacation, I couldn’t believe how drunk, loud a couple were, drinking the whole flight. Drunk, loud, and worse, with a little baby... as a mom, I was very concerned with their behavior while traveling drunk with a few months old baby!
The airport guards stopped them when they were leaving the airport!
People talking smack about the pilots are the same ones who will drink and still drive
People are stupid! This is why they die and go to hell
What a ridiculous thing to say. No, not every person condemning this act would do the same, and one doesn’t cancel out the other in any case. What-about-ism at its finest right here.
Tested under the limit....give him his job back.
Pilots shouldn't have anything in their system. Would you want your heart surgeon "under the limit" before your procedure?
Rules are rules
@@MrGrace
Yes 100%
I absolutely would want my surgeon "under" the limit.
I understand if he want to take the edge off of cracking my chest open and playing with my life while dealing with being a million in debt.
Jontae Grace a drunk hurt surgeon and a drunk pilot is very different.
its both cool and scary that they were able to notice and track him so fast
Damn spend 45+ thousand dollars to become a pilot and lose the job for a bottle of Alcohol🤦♂️🤦♂️
How arrogant these pilots are. Irresponsible and their license should be revoked forever.
Ive spoke with a pilot before, he said everything is so automated that the plane practially flies itself. The hardest part of their job is getting on the intercom and reporting to the passengers of possible turbulence. Let the man have his candy...
Why did they wait over two hours to test his BAC?
JenJen0582 because if he tested above to limit, its bad buisness for whatever company he worked for. Realize they dont even mention it?
Shnar3 T they did, they said Delta
@@eyenuh249
😐 pays to listen eh
Fuck dellllttaaa
@@eyenuh249 He meant they don't mention it because it's not well known . Stating it would bring more awareness to the corruption of the system..
Shnar3 T that makes sense. Yes I wondered why they didn’t mention who his employer was. Thanks for your reply.
Thank God for the officer being observant, he save a lot of lives in that flight for sure🙏
I am two years late, but in case you were not told or knew at all still, the minimum BAC level for a pilot is .04 and cannot had a drink 8 hours before a flight.
When I was younger (in my 30’s) I knew someone who’d been banned from being a pilot for being drunk on the job. Other pilots would call him when they were hungover & he would fill in for them. I asked how he got by the ID part & he said they don’t look THAT closely and he’d just pass. True story. Hmm 🧐 this was before 911.
Flying is safer than driving ? Think this pilot knows different
The pilots don’t actually fly the plane its all automated, they fly if there is an emergency
It is.
Bhq they fly during the necessary parts of flights and are fully capable of flying the entire flight by hand but the autopilot decreases their already high workload by a lot when at cruise. They still have to takeoff and land manually and it’ll be like that for a pretty long time.
Bhq that’s not true. Even if the pilots use autopilot the whole time they’re still required to work the auto pilot I.e. set heading, speed, altitude etc. they’re also in constant contact with atc and performing system checks. Autopilot wouldn’t work if there wasn’t a pilot to monitor it
Don't drink and drive ,it didn't say anything about flying
If he's the pilot he's technically driving dumbass
Make breathalyzers mandatory for every Pilot before every flight and this issue is mitigated... 🤷🏼♂️
Please don't call yourself news you're far from it and that goes to all Us Media
All those hard work and became a pilot, thrown away just like that
Man your grammar is suspect lol
I'm pretty sure he smelt like a fifth of scotch boarding the plane
No, They said he ditched a bottle of Vodka in the bathroom.. 🤷♀️
@@gingerbee6719 wow
If he did he wouldn’t have blown under the legal limit less than 2 hours later. You all are so misinformed.
Hey sometimes you need something to get through the day!
I mean, how intoxicated?? Denzel handled his situation pretty good.
lol he flipped the plane over. Incredibly unnecessary.
Yeah but he had cocaine to help.
Way to go TSA! Keep us safe!
Alcoholism isn’t a joke :( hope he’s getting help
holy crap that's my airport and I think I have had that pilot a couple of times when going to San Diego.
He got caught in MSP airport which is in Minneapolis
@@kticket6921 yeah I know I live in Minnesota
@@kticket6921 my grandparents just live in California that's wy I go there a lot.
😳
Thank God for security. Who knows what would of happened because of this drunk pilot!
