A class-action lawsuit has been filed against Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air following a nearly deadly incident in October, when an off-duty pilot was accused of trying to shut off the engine of a plane mid-flight.
The suit was filed by the Stritmatter Firm on behalf of the 167 people aboard Horizon Air flight 2059 from Everett to San Francisco.
Off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot Joseph Emerson was in the cockpit of the plane, when he is accused of jumping to the controls and trying to turn off the plane's engines. Emerson admitted he was on magic mushrooms and thought he was in a dream when he tried to crash the flight.Flight crew members reportedly fought off Emerson and regained control of the plane, at which point he reportedly walked to the back of the plane and tried to open the emergency exit door.
Attorneys say they want to make sure something like this never happens again. Joseph Emerson is facing more than 150 charges, including 83 counts of attempted murder.that I have read and agree
