911 call revealed pilot 'jumped' before emergency landing
Two Federal Aviation Administration employees could be heard saying that Charles Hew Crooks’ co-pilot reported that he leaped out of the damaged plane before it made an emergency landing at Raleigh Durham International Airport on Friday,“This is from Raleigh Airport,” an FAA air traffic controller said on the recording. “We have a pilot who was inbound to the field. His co-pilot jumped out of the aircraft. He made impact to the ground and here are the coordinates.
Wake County Emergency Management officials told WRAL the initial 911 call was received at 2:30 p.m. Friday. The aircraft, a CASA 212-200, made an emergency landing about 18 minutes later, WRAL reported.The body of Charles Hew Crooks, 23, was discovered on July 29 in the backyard of a home in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina, about 30 miles south of Raleigh Durham International Airport, where the plane made an emergency landing after losing its right wheel.
“I am sure the pilot is going to be shaken up,” one FAA employee said. “I have no idea. He literally just said, ‘My pilot just jumped out.’”“I guess at this point in time, all we can do is recovery,” an FAA controller told a dispatcher. “I don’t know. I don’t know. This is the craziest thing ever.”
