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.
