#Southwest airlines pilot fired series
According to the TV series Mayday, a fragment of Burke's fingertip was recovered with the gun which indicated that he was alive and holding the gun until impact. It is speculated that the final shot fired by Burke had killed the airline's chief pilot, who was also on board as a passenger and who may have tried to reach the cockpit to save the aircraft. The remains of the flight data recorder (FDR) indicated the control column had been pushed forward, most likely by Burke, causing the aircraft to dive.Ī final gunshot was heard followed not long after by a sudden silence. Several seconds later, the CVR picked up increasing windscreen noise as the airplane pitched down and accelerated. The CVR recorded the cockpit door opening and a female, presumed to be a flight attendant, told the cockpit crew, "We have a problem." The captain replied, "What kind of problem?" A shot was fired, presumably killing the flight attendant, and Burke announced "I'm the problem," and two more shots are heard that either incapacitated or killed the pilots. The co-pilot immediately reported to air traffic control that a gun had been fired on board and no further transmissions were received. This was probably when Burke shot Thomson to death. The captain and the co-pilot asked air traffic control about turbulence when the sound of two shots being fired in the cabin was heard on the CVR.
Remember? Well, I got none and you'll get none." As the plane, a four-engine British Aerospace BAe 146-200, cruised at 22,000 ft (6,700 m) over the central California coast, the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) recorded the sound of someone entering and then leaving the toilet. I think it's sort of ironical that we ended up like this. After boarding the plane, Burke wrote a message on an airsickness bag which he probably gave to Thomson to read before shooting him. 44 Magnum revolver that he had borrowed from a co-worker, was able to use the employee security bypass checkpoint at Los Angeles International Airport. Using his unsurrendered USAir credentials, David Burke, armed with a loaded. David Burke's supervisor was a passenger on the flight, which he took regularly for his daily commute to and from work. Thomson, in an unsuccessful attempt to be reinstated, he purchased a ticket on PSA Flight 1771, a daily flight from Los Angeles to San Francisco.
After a meeting with his supervisor, Raymond F. Burke had been terminated by USAir for petty theft of $69 from in-flight cocktail receipts, and had also been suspected of other crimes. USAir had recently purchased and was in the process of absorbing Pacific Southwest Airlines. All 43 people on board the aircraft were killed. Pacific Southwest Airlines Flight 1771 was a flight that crashed near Cayucos, California, United States, on December 7, 1987, as a result of a murder-suicide scheme by one of the passengers.
