Filming this report in front of his family’s home is disgusting. This represents every negative stereotype we hold about the press.

You think the judge will treat him as a flight risk?

I feel bad for his family. The worry and humiliation his innocent wife and kids must be going through plus the press hounding them at their front door must be awful.

Why are you people of the News Media going out of your way to put his innocent family in hell by reporting right in front of his house?
WOW!
THIS IS VERY VERY EVIL OF YOU!

He did the deed, and you want his whole family including his children to pay for it!
WOW! Vile!

Investigators may examine:

1. the cockpit voice recording to determine if the exact nature of the exchange between the crew, prior the incident, to determine if any argument or exchange may be evident.

2. Mr. Emerson's relationship with the crew, or his employer the airline to discern whether any sub optimal conditions were prevalent.

3. the passenger list, to determine if any VIPs or persons of particular interest, political, military, industry, financial or otherwise were on board the aircraft.

4. a brief enquiry, to ascertain why Mr. Emerson is pictured wearing a Russian air force cap.

5. Any prior medical history, or medical treatment including prescription medication or drug use, on the part of Mr. Emerson.

6. Any evidence of financial or personal trouble in the private life of Mr. Emerson.

7. Given that all persons involved in the incident are currently living, the investigation stands a good chance of getting to the bottom of what happened.

1-7 above are, of course, depending on the story being accurate and true, as reported.

"A mid-flight misunderstanding..."???? Do these reporters actually look over their scripts before reporting them on air? A certified pilot attempting to cut the engines mid-flight knows EXACTLY what they are doing. I hope he's put away for a time. 83 counts of attempted murder is absolutely the correct charge.

I'm sure this guy will be the safest uber/lyft driver in the Bay area once this is all cleared up.

Hope he spends the rest of his life in jail. Amazing to me no one noticed he had a problem.

I guess if he looked and acted like a serial killer, he probably wouldn’t get hired.

Why is the news endangering the rest of the family? They clearly have nothing to do with it.

Why no mention of the guy's reporting that he hadn't slept for two days before getting on that plane?
