When Skye E. Turner (Is this his REAL name?? how ironic), a 23 year old with an expired student license, had a fight with his girlfriend, he went to Coast Flight Training and Management, in Montgomery Field in San Diego County, and took a Cirrus SR22. He intended to fly it into the ocean; but he thought better of it (Good thinking Skye!) and asked for permission to land at LAX. He came in to fast on his first pass, but made a second pass and landed safely at 2:30 a.m., where he was taken into custody. Since then, he’s undergone some psychological evaluation and has been arrested for theft of a plane.
I hate to be obvious about conclusions, but suicide is never the way. Neither is theft. It compounds the problem. At least Turner landed safely.
In the newly released dispatch calls, eyewitnesses can be heard describing the moments after the crash.
