In a shocking turn of events, an off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot, Joe Emerson, has been arrested and charged with 83 counts of attempted murder after allegedly attempting to shut down the engines of Horizon Air flight 2059 from Everett to San Francisco.
The incident unfolded on Sunday evening when Emerson, seated in the spare cockpit seat, reportedly made a concerted effort to disrupt the plane’s engines. Quick thinking by Horizon Air’s Captain and First Officer prevented a potential catastrophe, leading to the safe landing of the aircraft in Portland around 6.30 pm local time.
