Crazy shit...
Yep, read about that earlier. That pilot is a hero.
They said the plane was at such a steep angle of attack that it exceeded the speed max, and ripped off the rudder when they tried correcting it.
While this certainly was a horrific day for those that went thru it…
I’m completely fucking stoked on the good people that “got to it” and straightened shit out.
“Let’s get to it!”💪🏼

According to the NYT, it was merely an "altercation".
And CNN's initial report called it an "incident".
You can't make... well, you know.

Fox also called it a "cockpit altercation" early on if You wanna give them credit too.
Seems they all reported before they had the full story and then reported more after learning the full story.
I bet that guys wife feels really dumb now about giving him a hardtime about spending so much time watching airplane videos.
Never know when all that time spent watching you tube will come in handy.
The cell phone video looked too good to be real.
