Screws loose, i guess, never really knew it until now. Thinking if i land successfully, alaska will give me a job as a pilot . I think they would give you a Job Doing Anything if you can pull this off. Yeah, right. Can this thing do a back flip you think . Try to do a barrel roll. If that goes good, ill go nose down, call it a night. Lets try and land the airplane safely and not hurt anyone on the ground. All right, man, damn it. I dont know, man, i dont know. I dont want to. I was hoping that was going to be it, you know . Cnns aviation and government regulation correspondent rene marsh joins us, working this story all morning with her sources, chilling to listen to that audio, so calmly the man talking to air Traffic Control. What do we know about this man and his level of access . We know he is a 29yearold,
after the plane took off and took off from the airport, witnesses saw it flying erratically. Tell us what did you see when this airplane was up in the air . My wife and i were in
The latest news from around the world with host Fredricka Whitfield. As i watched him, he headed south. The fighter jets were maneuvering him away from land. And he continues to circle around and do erratic flying above stella com and the island. And when i looked over, it just nosedived and there was a large fireball.

But i have flown on these small aircrafts like that before. And when he pulled up Full Throttle and banked very low to the ground, i knew at that point something was not right. So thats why i continued to watch, wondering, what is

Moment but first of all, let me tell you where i am. This is the very landing area in order to get to Ketron Island where the 29yearold crashed that plane. Now, to give you an idea of how sparsely populated that is, the last census said theres only 17 residents living there. We now know theres dozens of investigators at that site. They would have left from here in order to get there. It is about a 10 minute ferry ride. The first as well as the data recorder. Ultimately, what evidence they could yield . We dont know. Of course, we do have a lot of conversation between air Traffic Control and the horizon employee. As for the pilot himself, obviously, he went through extensive needs means to get that. He had to taxi it and take off. Here, theres a lot of questions how this person who seemingly had no fliying experience was able to get that aircraft airborne. He played a lot of video games.
