YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Air-traffic control audio from the Alaska Airlines flight that was nearly derailed by an off-duty pilot who tried to shut down the engines captured the crew sounding the alarm about him going “a little overboard.”

The audio captured the moments after Joseph Emerson, 44, allegedly tried to activate the fire suppression system, which would have cut off fuel to the engines, while riding in the cockpit jump seat of a Washington-to-San Francisco flight Sunday.

“We’ve got the guy that tried to shut the engines down out of the cockpit and he doesn’t sound like he’s causing any issues in the back right now,” a pilot tells air-traffic control, according to audio obtained from LiveATC.net.

“We’d like law enforcement as soon as we get on the ground and park,” he says, adding that “we’re reduced on the threat level,” which he said was initially a 4, the highest, which signifies a breach of the cockpit.
