Audio from the plane talking to the control tower: http://garchives1.broadcastify.com/15227/20180810/201808102255-590200-15227.mp3
He's clearly troubled and didn't intend to make it out alive. Sad.

Such a bizarre thing to happen. So sad too :(
August 11th, 2018 at 2:39 AM ^
Doesn't add up.
August 11th, 2018 at 5:47 AM ^
How so?
(I say, dreading the answer)

Alex Jones has found his new platform and I for one look forward to hearing how this shoe scandal is a false flag

On the bright side of Seattle news...
Pearl Jam has raised over 11 million dollars along with a ton of awareness to fight homelessness, and just finished one amazing second Home Show concert at Safeco Field.

Double post.
August 11th, 2018 at 7:16 AM ^
This thread is WAY WAY WAY OT. Probably should not be posted on Mgoblog.

It's sort of like something out of a movie. The guy seemed to be having a blast. Id have been scared shitless if he were flying low over my neighborhood. Prayers up for the family.

I'm a big fan of that ATC. "I think they'd give you a job doing anything if you can pull this off."
August 11th, 2018 at 9:29 AM ^
And this has WHAT to do with Michigan Sports?
Furthermore, the huffington post is so politically slanted that I ignore it. It's basically the flipside of Fox News in its propaganda.
August 11th, 2018 at 9:52 AM ^
Has nothing to do with Michigan sports. Hence the OT tag. If we can have a million cord ("chord") cutting threads and threads about dog anal glands we can have one for this. Very intriguing story.

Can someone just start a petition for the powers that be just add an OT forum? I don’t hate seeing OT posts near as much as I hate seeing people complain about OT posts.
A sub category could be for politics for those who just can’t control themselves. But make people register a secondary account so the negbangs and arguments don’t bleed into the other threads.
i know I’m not the first person to suggest this sort of thing...
August 11th, 2018 at 9:58 AM ^
You just got here & you're already complaining? I think the off topic posts are banned on Sep. 1.
I don't think it has anything to do with Michigan sports. BTW, if you're interested, I was watching "Buying Alaska" last night & learned that 1 out every 60 people in Alaska are pilots. Checking to see how many of those are somehow connected to sports in Michigan & read the Huffington Post.

Interesting trivia about pilots. 49% of them play a musical instrument, compared to only 8% of the general population.

Nuts story. There is video: this plane pulled off a freaking barrel roll!!! (that before the eventual crash).

Great video of the barrel roll, thanks!

He was upset and protesting urban Meyer’s suspension.
August 11th, 2018 at 10:22 AM ^
that's a very expensive way of dying but at least he did not take anyone else to the other side with him.
August 11th, 2018 at 12:02 PM ^
Just post the same article from a left and right leaning news source in the future. Maybe that would make everybody happy? Prolly not. Everybody just wants to bitch about something these days. Even me apparently.
August 11th, 2018 at 9:19 PM ^
Yeah... I tend to not pay attention to the political side of things. The article simply included the most video of the incident that I found.

Derp.
