    Charles Hew Crooks (23) died after jumping or falling from an airplane during a mid-flight emergency

    https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/30/us/no...ead/index.html

    The body of a man who got off an aircraft mid-flight during an emergency landing Friday near Raleigh, North Carolina, has been recovered, authorities say.
    Around 2:40 p.m. ET, a twin-engine CASA CN-212 Aviocar landed in the grass at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration told CNN in a statement.
    Two people were onboard when the plane took off, though a spokesperson for the airport told CNN affiliate WRAL that only the pilot was on board when it landed. The pilot's condition was not released Friday.

    The pilot should know, right? Unless he pushed him out.

    So the pilot says the guy jumped. Just sounds odd to me...

    Well, he'd still know. Just might not want to say...

    Yeah I worded that wrong. I meant to say the pilot should be able to tell them whether he jumped or fell...

    Did he think that the plane would crash trying to land and either he felt his chances were better jumping or that he'd rather just get it over with? None of this makes any sense at all. Unless he was always somewhat suicidal and saw his chance so took it?

    If I'm reading this right they tried to land first and lost a wheel. Then before the second landing, CO pilot is gone. Is it possible he went to go look for damage or something and fell?

    I'll keep saying it. This is extremely bizarre.

    Is it possible that he was psychotic and did something to the wheel himself before takeoff? Maybe he was on a suicide mission from the get go and when it looked like they'd be able to land safely despite the issues with the landing gear, he went with his Plan B. It wouldn't be the first time that someone wanted to take others with them on a plane.

    I spoke to a pilot friend of mine since childhood and he has no answers on this one. When planes undergo emergency landings, pilots do prepare their exits in case they have to jump/get out; however, this one makes zero sense. Like Boston, it sounds like he had some sort of suicide mission in mind. Either that or he just lost it.

    Okay, my theory - if we are assuming the barf story is true - he went to get air because he was barfy (which seems so strange), was barfing and fell. He couldn't grab the bar because he was barfing

They don't know how to handle stress and ramifications of bad situations. I think he freaked out when he thought about possibly losing his job or being disciplined by the FAA for the landing that damaged the plane (that's when he was getting visibly upset and sick thinking about it) and he decided that killing himself would be better than some horrible result he was imagining.

    I think you're on to something. I knew a lady who's son killed himself after wrecking his dad's car. He was very much the kind of kid that panicked at the thought of anyone being angry. No one was allowed to say a harsh word to him...and when he really did have to face the music, he couldn't...
