Chuck DarwinUS pilot who took magic mushrooms and tried to cut engines says his behavior was ‘unfathomable’
An Alaska Airlines pilot who ⚠️attempted to shut off the engines of a passenger plane mid-flight ⚠️after ingesting #magic #mushrooms said his actions were “unfathomable”, in some of his first public remarks
after he was indicted on 83 counts of #reckless #endangerment.
Emerson, who as an off-duty pilot was authorized to ride in the cockpit’s jump seat,
tried to disable the plane’s engines by deploying the fire-suppression system, according to the federal complaint.
The plane, flight number 2059 operated by Horizon Air traveling from Everett, Washington, bound for San Francisco, was diverted to Portland, where it landed safely with more than 80 people on board.
