RUSH TRANSCRIPT All right ░░░░░░░░ small plane we ve ░░░░░░░░ telling you about and ░░░░░░░░ has apparently crash landed ░░░░░░░░ landed I should say ░░░░░░░░ ashland Mississippi It looks ░░░░░░░░ ashland is about 60 ░░░░░░░░ north of tupelo Mississippi ░░░░░░░░ don t know much ░░░░░░░░ than that for those ░░░░░░░░ you tuning in This ░░░░░░░░ began at 5 A ░░░░░░░░ Mississippi time and ended ░░░░░░░░ about five minutes ago ░░░░░░░░ a guy who was ░░░░░░░░ to steal a plane ░░░░░░░░ of the tupelo Texas ░░░░░░░░ hangar set to get ░░░░░░░░ it and off on ░░░░░░░░ runway without immediate clearance ░░░░░░░░ do so and triggered ░░░░░░░░ 911 communication where he ░░░░░░░░ authorities he wanted to ░░░░░░░░ into a local Walmart ░░░░░░░░ didn t crash it ░░░░░░░░ a local Walmart but ░░░░░░░░ landed in ashland Mississippi ░░░░░░░░ don t know if ░░░░░░░░ was by design or ░░░░░░░░ its own running out ░░░░░░░░ fuel It appears to ░░░░░░░░ over and we don ░░░░░░░░ know who or what ░░░░░░░░ have been affected when ░░░░░░░░ did crash in ashland ░░░░░░░░ re efforting pictures or ░░░░░░░░ from the area people ░░░░░░░░ the area if you ░░░░░░░░ there and you want ░░░░░░░░ communicate with me feel ░░░░░░░░ as the beautiful folks ░░░░░░░░ tupelo have who were ░░░░░░░░ up for a good ░░░░░░░░ of time The dramatic ░░░░░░░░ ended there ended 60 ░░░░░░░░ s a perspective on ░░░░░░░░ You know John I ░░░░░░░░ thinking about what you ░░░░░░░░ when you last appeared ░░░░░░░░ he might be running ░░░░░░░░ of fuel and doing ░░░░░░░░ tik tok on it ░░░░░░░░ the timing of it ░░░░░░░░ crash landing seems to ░░░░░░░░ around the time you ░░░░░░░░ have suspected he would ░░░░░░░░ out of fuel What ░░░░░░░░ you think of this ░░░░░░░░ that model of king ░░░░░░░░ holds about 380 gallons ░░░░░░░░ fuel and are burning ░░░░░░░░ close to 100 gallons ░░░░░░░░ hour depending on you ░░░░░░░░ how hard you re ░░░░░░░░ the engine I figured ░░░░░░░░ would be close to ░░░░░░░░ would be to the ░░░░░░░░ of the tank and ░░░░░░░░ m guessing that s ░░░░░░░░ happened and glided it ░░░░░░░░ landing and what kind ░░░░░░░░ a landing Neil it ░░░░░░░░ have been a crash ░░░░░░░░ and that could happen ░░░░░░░░ run out of fuel ░░░░░░░░ run out of fuel ░░░░░░░░ was clearly aware of ░░░░░░░░ so we don t ░░░░░░░░ the circumstances behind it ░░░░░░░░ this range for the ░░░░░░░░ range others I understand ░░░░░░░░ 45 miles south of ░░░░░░░░ it seen him as ░░░░░░░░ He seemed to be ░░░░░░░░ fairly low throughout a ░░░░░░░░ deal of this John ░░░░░░░░ does that make of ░░░░░░░░ does that burn faster ░░░░░░░░ obviously it makes people ░░░░░░░░ anxious Yeah it does ░░░░░░░░ fuel faster It s ░░░░░░░░ turbo prop and it ░░░░░░░░ a jet engine And ░░░░░░░░ engines are efficient up ░░░░░░░░ Why he wanted to ░░░░░░░░ down low who knows ░░░░░░░░ suspect he didn t ░░░░░░░░ much experience as a ░░░░░░░░ and liked to stay ░░░░░░░░ to the ground and ░░░░░░░░ know familiar landmarks that ░░░░░░░░ could or orient himself ░░░░░░░░ that I m just ░░░░░░░░ Neil johnn he worked ░░░░░░░░ the airport and maybe ░░░░░░░░ one expected we re ░░░░░░░░ disparate reports that he ░░░░░░░░ off quickly and might ░░░░░░░░ triggered the 911 conversations ░░░░░░░░ 911 reaching him but ░░░░░░░░ part where he was ░░░░░░░░ to steal a plane ░░░░░░░░ I guess when you ░░░░░░░░ at that airport and ░░░░░░░░ one thinks anything of ░░░░░░░░ but that s a ░░░░░░░░ worrisome Right yeah and ░░░░░░░░ know I believe it ░░░░░░░░ you who told me ░░░░░░░░ that the plane belongs ░░░░░░░░ local doctor Neil yes ░░░░░░░░ it may like kids ░░░░░░░░ steal cars look for ░░░░░░░░ who has the keys ░░░░░░░░ it You don t ░░░░░░░░ need the keys to ░░░░░░░░ a particular kind ever ░░░░░░░░ but if thetor the ░░░░░░░░ was unlocked he might ░░░░░░░░ been able to get ░░░░░░░░ and start it with ░░░░░░░░ much problem Neil and ░░░░░░░░ idea and these are ░░░░░░░░ cases where the small ░░░░░░░░ is involved with an ░░░░░░░░ and seized and you ░░░░░░░░ it ends well and ░░░░░░░░ as dramatic as the ░░░░░░░░ jets as we remember ░░░░░░░░ we come up to ░░░░░░░░ tragic anniversary of the ░░░░░░░░ 11 attacks They re ░░░░░░░░ different mix but dangerous ░░░░░░░░ involved in something like ░░░░░░░░ Oh sure and again ░░░░░░░░ good news is if ░░░░░░░░ had any fuel left ░░░░░░░░ all he didn t ░░░░░░░░ much because a crash ░░░░░░░░ in that kind of ░░░░░░░░ you know he didn ░░░░░░░░ have the ability to ░░░░░░░░ it down on its ░░░░░░░░ gear you know on ░░░░░░░░ runway or something reasonably ░░░░░░░░ the impact and the ░░░░░░░░ crash fire would have ░░░░░░░░ enormous So let s ░░░░░░░░ that the tanks were ░░░░░░░░ and you know if ░░░░░░░░ was some kind of ░░░░░░░░ know terrible impact when ░░░░░░░░ went down there s ░░░░░░░░ no fire because of ░░░░░░░░ limited amount of fuel ░░░░░░░░ would have been left ░░░░░░░░ the tanks Neil all ░░░░░░░░ Jon thank you very ░░░░░░░░ much for that Jon ░░░░░░░░ We re learning a ░░░░░░░░ bit more about the ░░░░░░░░ and now reports that ░░░░░░░░ pilot the suspect is ░░░░░░░░ custody That he survived ░░░░░░░░ Charles Watson in Jackson ░░░░░░░░ with more on that ░░░░░░░░ of the story Charles ░░░░░░░░ neil we just got ░░░░░░░░ the phone with the ░░░░░░░░ county sheriff s office ░░░░░░░░ confirmed that the suspect ░░░░░░░░ in custody and that ░░░░░░░░ plane went down in ░░░░░░░░ county northeast Mississippi again ░░░░░░░░ suspect is in custody ░░░░░░░░ ve been seeing videos ░░░░░░░░ over social media of ░░░░░░░░ appears to be the ░░░░░░░░ that the gentleman was ░░░░░░░░ around for several hours ░░░░░░░░ looks as if it ░░░░░░░░ in a field maybe ░░░░░░░░ s farm farmland that ░░░░░░░░ landed in The plane ░░░░░░░░ can t visibly see ░░░░░░░░ in the images we ░░░░░░░░ been able to see ░░░░░░░░ Twitter but it doesn ░░░░░░░░ appear that it crashed ░░░░░░░░ the ground It appears ░░░░░░░░ it just landed and ░░░░░░░░ suspect is in custody ░░░░░░░░ in county and end ░░░░░░░░ five hour sort of ░░░░░░░░ developing chase for police ░░░░░░░░ the sky of this ░░░░░░░░ who was flying around ░░░░░░░░ northeast Mississippi for hours ░░░░░░░░ hours certainly scaring people ░░░░░░░░ live in that neighborhood ░░░░░░░░ threatening to intentionally crash ░░░░░░░░ a Walmart He then ░░░░░░░░ on to blue springs ░░░░░░░░ said it would have ░░░░░░░░ circling a Toyota manufacturer ░░░░░░░░ clear what this gentleman ░░░░░░░░ know wanted or what ░░░░░░░░ beef is what with ░░░░░░░░ Walmart or Toyota but ░░░░░░░░ have been in contact ░░░░░░░░ him throughout the entirety ░░░░░░░░ this ordeal presumably trying ░░░░░░░░ take him down So ░░░░░░░░ could make sure that ░░░░░░░░ in the area were ░░░░░░░░ Obviously that part of ░░░░░░░░ is very rural but ░░░░░░░░ are still people who ░░░░░░░░ there and who saw ░░░░░░░░ gentleman and reported this ░░░░░░░░ flying plane to police ░░░░░░░░ this morning because ne ░░░░░░░░ the were concerned They ░░░░░░░░ never seen anything like ░░░░░░░░ in the area The ░░░░░░░░ that this man works ░░░░░░░░ the tupelo regional airport ░░░░░░░░ just hopped in this ░░░░░░░░ and reportedly Neil all ░░░░░░░░ we lost connection there ░░░░░░░░ that s an interesting ░░░░░░░░ He crash landed or ░░░░░░░░ and survived that We ░░░░░░░░ that in the local ░░░░░░░░ area it is a ░░░░░░░░ out rural area 492 ░░░░░░░░ the latest census count ░░░░░░░░ believe Charles is back ░░░░░░░░ us right now Charles ░░░░░░░░ Yeah now I was ░░░░░░░░ saying after five hours ░░░░░░░░ ordeal ends with presumably ░░░░░░░░ injuries We don t ░░░░░░░░ the condition of the ░░░░░░░░ but he s in ░░░░░░░░ custody and we got ░░░░░░░░ confirmed a few minutes ░░░░░░░░ Obviously we ll be ░░░░░░░░ for updates for police ░░░░░░░░ on today to try ░░░░░░░░ figure out what the ░░░░░░░░ was doing what was ░░░░░░░░ motive in flying around ░░░░░░░░ threatening to crash into ░░░░░░░░ Certainly a scary situation ░░░░░░░░ folks who live in ░░░░░░░░ area but we re ░░░░░░░░ that it has come ░░░░░░░░ an end neil Neil ░░░░░░░░ we know Charles did ░░░░░░░░ walk away from the ░░░░░░░░ Was he able to ░░░░░░░░ it safely When you ░░░░░░░░ crash landing it could ░░░░░░░░ the desperate car or ░░░░░░░░ plane that was destroyed ░░░░░░░░ we know anything about ░░░░░░░░ No neil we didn ░░░░░░░░ get any updates on ░░░░░░░░ gentleman s condition What ░░░░░░░░ can see from social ░░░░░░░░ does look like the ░░░░░░░░ did land properly I ░░░░░░░░ you can t see ░░░░░░░░ image clearly it s ░░░░░░░░ a distance in a ░░░░░░░░ So all of the ░░░░░░░░ about the plane are ░░░░░░░░ clear to naked eye ░░░░░░░░ could have been a ░░░░░░░░ landing we can only ░░░░░░░░ one side of the ░░░░░░░░ from the images we ░░░░░░░░ seeing Not clear what ░░░░░░░░ condition of the plane ░░░░░░░░ or that gentleman but ░░░░░░░░ he s in police ░░░░░░░░ and hopefully we ll ░░░░░░░░ able to get more ░░░░░░░░ shortly Neil thank you ░░░░░░░░ friend Charles Watson so ░░░░░░░░ ends without tragedy here ░░░░░░░░ a day we re ░░░░░░░░ something that started with ░░░░░░░░ threat to crash into ░░░░░░░░ local Walmart ends 60 ░░░░░░░░ north in a small ░░░░░░░░ town with under 500 ░░░░░░░░ and they re all
