Episode Date: January 28, 2026

On the 7th of April 1994, at just after 3pm, FedEx Flight 705 departed Memphis, Tennessee for a flight to San Jose, California.

Anyway, let's get on with the show. And welcome to another episode of Do Go On. My name is Dev Warnikey and as always I'm here with Jess Perkins. Hello. And Matt Stewart. Hello. Hi, great to be here. So good to be here in your ears.

I'm talking to the listeners now, Dave. Obviously, I exist outside of your ears, but quite a lot closer to your ears. is, then the listeners is, interestingly. Yeah. Hey, Jess, how good is it to be alive? Summer time, summer loving, having a great one. Yeah. Yow.

New year, I'm thinking about a new catchphrase, yow. I like it. Do you think that could be mine? Yeah. How are you spelling yow? Yao. Y-O-W-W-W-W. 3w.com.

Yow.com. That's great. I love that. That's a good sticker. Yeah. Yow. Yeah. Is it kind of inspired by Chapal?

Which isn't one of mine, obviously. No. But also a little bit inspired by hoi. Which is one of yours inspired by Michael Jackson. Yes. Walking on glass. Yeah, no. The King of Pop.

Well, I wouldn't say that. Musically. No. No, no, no. Dancing wise? Dancing, yes. I always dance backwards. Nothing else of his.

Is any value to me? Great. I think it was a bad person. Okay. He's dead. You can't defame the dead. He was a pedophile. You would if he could.

Interesting to see what AJ does. AJ will be leaving everything in. As somebody's pointed out recently, we're not sure AJ edits. Oh, hey, he puts the theme song in. That's true. That's true. He puts the theme song in. The edits things in.

Yeah. And sometimes he edits himself in being like, well, actually, insert some sort of nerdy fact here. Yeah. We appreciate that. Shall I explain how this show works? Please. Okay, so one of the three of us, research is a topic,

usually suggested to us by our fantastic listeners, each and every one of whom we adore. That's right. I think they're the bee's knees. That's right, Michael Jackson's dead, so he can't be listening. And if you're listening now, that's you. Yes. And we think you're great.

Best in the biz. Best in the biz. Tip top. Whatever biz you're in, you're number one. You're the cat's pajamas. That's right. Is that a new one? Is that yours?

That's a classic. Cats, pyjamas. That's a big one. Hmm. Yeah. I'm not down. I'll make one up now if you like. Please.

I'll make you up one now. That would be great, thanks. That is the elf's hat. That's better than cats' pajamas. Yeah, but it sort of feels like it's... It's a bit too festive. I was going to say, we're past the festive season. But it's cute, though.

It's really cute. Yeah, the garden home's feet. They do have feet. Yeah. Sorry, a little horse noise there. Sorry. Whoa. Whoa.

No, okay. The garden nose beard. That's good. Garden nose beard. Oh, yeah. The garden nose beard. Yeah. That's beautiful.

That's really good. So you are the listener, the best in the beers, the garden gnome's beard. And we research a topic. We tell the others about it. We tell you about it. And we usually get on to the topic with a question. Matt, you were just writing a question mere moments ago. That's right.

But so this story takes place in an American city. Or it certainly begins there. Okay. So my question is, what city is Mark Cohn's first ever single, award-winning song? He's basically his big hit. Started strong. What city is his song about? And if you don't know, I'll start saying the lyrics until you know it.

Okay. Do you know who Mark Cohn is? I don't. Should we know? Do you reckon we would, we should know. Well, you'd know this song, I think. Okay. Mark. I'm trying. Put on my blue suede shoes and I boarded the plane. Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues in the middle of the pouring rain.

WC. Handy. Won't you look down over me? Yeah, I've got a first class ticket, but I'm as blue as a boy can be. Then I'm walking in Memphis. Correct. So you have heard that song or you just, you just vibed it. Is that the, I'm walking in Memphis? Yeah.

Why is that class name? verse. Mark C-O-H-N. C-O-H-N. But then the classic bit is where it goes, first three, and they asked me if I would do a little number, and I sang with all my might.

She said, tell me, are you a Christian child? And I said, ma'am my head in that. Did that peak? Because I'll do it again. I think your life just peaked. We've pinpointed the best thing you've ever done.

Oh, my God. video and audio. I don't know why I did that. That's so lucky. I don't know why I did that. I can't think. It's so funny. I don't know why.

You really went out of your way to do. You went to the third verse to show us that bit. I mean, it is a great bit of the song, but I have no business doing it. I'm so sorry. I'm not even sure I know that bit of the song. Yeah, well, it doesn't sound anything like that. That's like an award-winning singer. I don't have no idea.

Did you black out? I've lost my mind. That's like she like slapped a stranger and then said, I'm sorry, didn't I do that? That's exactly how it felt. An intrusive thought one. I was. I thought I could sing for a second there. I'm glad I wasn't sitting on a bridge at the time.

Do you ever have that thought when like kids are running by you all? Do you ever think about just clothes lighting it? Oh yeah. I've never done it. No. But the thoughts always there of just, My one as a kid was, I could just open the door on this freeway and roll out of the back seat. And I have to think, don't do it.

Don't do it. Don't do it. You're seven. That's fine. I've got no business doing that. I'm seven. What was I thinking? So hopefully age I will.

Because the worry is, people listen to my report episodes to go to bed. You know? You're working them up. They're like, geez. What are listening to Dave's for? Well, for entertainment. And mine? Yours are to wake up in the morning.

Shrel. Yeah. No one's staying in bed with that tone. You're an alarm clock. Yeah. And it's like one, you have to get out of bed to turn off. Oh, shut up, shut up, shut up.

Oh, she's laughing again. It's disgusting. I'm already up. I guess I'm up and I'm depressed. Now I've got to go do something. Yeah, where the Goldilocks? Dave's are just right. Now, I've got to ask, what's the topic?

Walking in Memphis. The topic. It just starts in Memphis. Stevie Cohn. Mark Cone. What an unforgettable name. Sorry, what an unforgettable name. Maybe it's Cohn.

Cohen? Cohn? Maybe it's Cohen, but just they took out the year at some point. See you about Beale Street, that guy? Yeah, that's the same song. Walking 10 feet off a Beale. Right. Do we know what that means?

It's Beal Street. Do we know what that means? That's like a main strip in Memphis. Mark Cohen. What a forget? Well, you remember the song. Did you know the song? Yeah, yeah.

So the topic is FedEx Flight 705. Oh. It's pretty full on. I'll say that. Great. Thank you. No, thank you for the warning on that. Yes.

Because there was the time I did the Tenerife Air Disaster, one of the worst air disasters on record and didn't. No, I think early on I was like, this is grim. Yeah. And we kept thinking, I think I've got optimism bias a bit. Yeah. I did not. I knew where I was going.

But I just am like that. I'm just an insensitive bloke, I guess. But also this podcast is, you know, at the heart, it's a comedy podcast. And I would love you too to still find funniness around the topic. Yeah. Because like I'm sure, and you're so good at it. Thank you. So good at it.

In a shrill way. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, she goes again. By which I mean speaking. Speaking. Yeah. So shrill.

All right. So this was suggested by three people. Jamie Lidlo, Elf, Urquakli from Istanbul, and Tim Vandenride from Ramsdonk in Belgium. See, there you go, straight off the bat. There's humour. We can have fun with that. Rams don't. Holy shit.

That's amazing. Tim has suggested a few topics. I think in the last 12 months. No, but we laugh at it every time. Oh, of course. And we will continue to laugh at it every time. Absolutely. It's amazing. Well, interestingly, Ramsdonk affected me much like Mark Cohen did Dave,

because I don't have no recollection of Ramsdon. What an unforgettable city now. So Jamie wrote, Jamie actually DM me about this topic saying, I shit you not. It's the most unreal thing I've ever researched. And I asked, oh, what did you research? for. And she said,

I used to want to be a pilot. I just went down a rabbit hole. I love the phrasing of research. I'm like, oh, it's a PhD or something. It's like, I read the Wikipedia page.

I also loved that they used to want to be a pilot, and then this possibly ended that dream. This won the Patreon poll in an absolute landslide, and I put up four bangers. And everyone in the comment said so, but this took it out with like 50% of the votes. We do get a lot of comments saying, Can you just do them all?

Yeah, yeah. All right, shall we begin? Please. We shall. So, let me take you back to the 17th of April 1994. Oh, yes. Just after 3pm in the afternoon. Okay.

FedEx Flight 705, the aircraft being a McDonald-Douglas DC-10 jet aircraft. Yep, a beauty. What an absolute beauty. How many engines? It's actually a tri-jet. How many is that? I believe Trey. Yeah, I think three actually.

I can put it in English, I just realized. So, the flight scheduled to depart, Memphis, Tennessee. We were just talking about that. My gosh, Beale Street? Heading to... Yeah, that's one of the runways, I think. Heading to San Jose, California. Captain David Sanders, a 49-year-old ex-Navy pilot,

was preparing for the flight. absolute routine flight. His two crew members, 39-year-old flight engineer Andy Peterson and 42-year-old first officer James Tucker. These are our three key characters here. Tucker was an ex-Navy flight combat instructor who had more than 10 years experience with FedEx

and Captain Sanders had more than 20 years. So it's a very experienced crew. And yeah, like I say, for this highly experienced and qualified team, the flight is just another day of the office. All very routine. Today's office. Yeah, exactly.

The sky. Oh my God, beautiful. But sadly for the team, this flight would be their last. Oh. They're retiring. Yeah, wow, they're pretty young to retire. Hmm. Yeah, maybe they're about to get a really good payday.

Uh-oh. Uh, they're not. When San- well... Have they just saved really well? Yeah, that's true. When Sanders, Tucker and Peterson boarded the plane, they were taken by surprise to find another FedEx flight engineer named Orban Calloway on board already and seemingly initiating pre-flight procedures.

Like, oh, that's weird. What's he doing here? It's going solo. Yeah. So, yeah, I lied. There are four characters. Great. And this character's name is Auburn.

Auburn Calloway. I'm not getting good vibes here. Auburn? That's my hair colour. Yeah. What do you mean? We're not getting good vibes. Yeah, yeah.

Someone once said it's Aubin. Yeah. Is it? And is that spot like the colour? Because I imagined OR B-A-H-A-U-B-A-U-U-R. No, no, A, U-B, you are. Okay. Still, just something,

Jesse, are you feeling that? If this was like a cryptic crossword, Auburn, it could be like gold burn, and then there'd be another step to it there. I just want to clarify, in the cryptic thing, they usually include the answer, gold burn? Sometimes.

Oh my God, no, it would be gold. The burn would become something. Gold flame or something. Yeah, gold flame. It's good. And it would end up, it's like the clue was about an Olympic gold medalist or some shit. It's really a beautiful up.

platform. Kathy Freeman and Goldburn. Yeah. According to the cockpit voice recorder database, which I'll quote from a little bit today, it was not unusual for FedEx employees to hitch rides on regular flights, a practice termed jump seating. It was a pronounced breach of protocol for such deadheaders to interfere with flight operations though.

So very normal for another employee to jump on the plane. Hitch a ride. Yeah. You sit there. But he's there like doing pre-flight checks and stuff. Yeah, that's a bit strange. Yeah, no, that's weird. But as it turned out, the 42-year-old Callaway had actually been scheduled to work this flight.

But when he and his crew exceeded their max flying hours the day before, they were no longer able to take the shift. Just on a technicality for safety, you've gone over your maximum hours. You can't take this shift anymore. Right. Okay. So instead, he's riding as a deadhead, which is like a term they use. I don't think I'd heard that phrase before. Deadhead? I'm not sure.

The Grateful Dead. Yes. Oh, okay. No, you do know what I'm talking about. No, apparently a deadhead is a crew member, like a pilot, flight attendant, whoever, who travels as a passenger on a flight to reposition themselves to an airport for an upcoming flight. Yeah. It's like, oh, he's going to work.

He's got a job coming up from San Jose. So he's just going to hitch a ride so he's in the right spot. Love it. So, yeah, the cockpit voice recorder database. I'm going to just abbreviate that to CVRD. Great. I'm going to ask you every time what that is, though. And I'll forget.

Maybe we'll call it covered. Covered. CvrD. If that was on a number plate, I would assume it was covered, not. Cockpit voice, record a database. And I'd be driving behind that car going, what does it mean? What do I mean? I just like, why get personalized plates if it's just really fucking confusing?

Did you guys see the photo I sent you last year, like last year? after we'd recorded some of our Do-Go Dungeons and Dragons, I saw a car, which number plate was F-R-T-W-I-Z, which I assume fart-wizzed. I don't know what it actually is, but is that what? Surely. The fart-wiz. And if that isn't your intention when you got that number plate,

did you look at it at all? If you're really good at building forts, we're not going to think you're the fort-wis, okay? Send that around to some friends. and just sort of see, make sure everybody's reading that the same as you. I don't get in this? Yeah, just without any context, what do you think this means? Fart Wizard.

Yeah. What? I like forts. You know I build the best pillow fort out there. Couldn't put a pillow in there. I'm the Fort Wizard. You're also very flatulent, though. Oh, my God.

You don't want to fart inside of filibort. Well, that's my Dutch one's called, my pillow fort's called the Dutch oven. It's in the Netherlands. Yeah. That's all. And I do a bit of cooking in there. What the hell? I'm a baker.

Things have more than one meaning? What the frick? I think it starts right now. I hope fart wizard is listening. Oh, I hope so too. I reckon you should have something on your dashboard, a little piece of paper that explains it. So if you see it in a car park, you can walk around and go,

oh, that's right there, man, okay. Fort Wizard. Fort Wizard. Fort Wizard. Builds a great fort. Yeah. Okay, so Calloway is deadheading on this flight from Memphis to San Jose. The CVRD writes, though the crew were slightly startled by seeing Calloway in there.

Like that. Yeah. Probably, oh, hey, hey. Yeah, slightly startled. Yeah. We weren't expecting someone to be there. They're there. They go, oh, sorry.

Sorry, mate. But probably not like a, ah! Yeah, yeah. Holy shit, they didn't pull a gun. Yeah. Yeah, nobody pulled a gun, right? No. Okay.

And apparently Calloway, without saying anything, gave his seat up to Peterson, doing what his role is, the flight engineer. Right. Peterson, he was in that sort of spot as if he was going to work. And Peterson, they arrived and he goes, oh, sorry, obviously this is your spot, Peterson. Bit weird, but anyway. Sorry, force a habit. Yeah.

With Calloway out of the way, Peterson and the team began to prepare for the flight. Calloway out of the Callaway. Oh, my God. That would have been a great line. Get the Callaway. Out of the Cali. Yeah. You said it better.

Get out of the Callaway. Yeah, perfect. You're in my Callaway. No, you said it better. But sometimes you've got a workshop until you find out, no, your first thing sick was perfect. And it probably better if one of you got it clean because it was far too shrill for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hope that didn't make you feel, you know, any negative thoughts based.

I've just, because I think it's important to be honest. And, yeah, me and everyone else finds you shrill. Yes. Yeah. But that's, I mean, that's just you and women in general. Oh, yeah. As a feminist, I think it's not only right for me to say, I think it's important for me to say. Nobody else could.

No. It'd be inappropriate. Yeah. Yes. Welcome to our new listeners. So they're preparing for the flight. When Peterson notices that a circuit breaker was off that shouldn't mean, like it flicked off. And that circuit breaker being off meant the cockpit voice recorder wouldn't function.

It was on that circuit. So I was like, oh, that's weird. He flicked it back on. Kept going about the pre-flight stuff. But just before they were ready to take off again, he noticed it was once again in the off position. He started thinking, oh, hang on. Do you think it's a bit of a strange thing that you can just turn it off so easily?

Yeah. Yeah, why would you need to turn it off? You're going to do like a big fart in the cockpit and you don't want that on record forever. Yeah, so radio stages will have a cough button. Cockpits have a fart. But wizard button. Yeah.

But now I guess it's like anything has a power circuit, you know. It's to protect. I guess it's part of the... You're the fact that you can access it from within the cockpit. Like, why would you want to turn it off? Yeah. Maybe, I'm sure a pilot probably could answer that. But maybe because, like you're saying, if anything faults in the cockpit,

you want to be able to turn off. So you're saying, you know, they want to be aware that it's off, you know? Yes, yes, yes. Oh, that we're going to problem. Because that would be a problem. He's starting to think, is it faulty? because this would have been bad news. Because, yeah, that would have meant, obviously,

if there was an accident or anything, there'd be no record of it. And, yeah, there are specific rules in place saying, if that's not working, then you can't fly. Gotcha. Right? So you've got to check that that's on. Yeah. Otherwise, you basically have to get maintenance crew in to fix it.

Yeah. And these are probably problems why planes get stranded for a bit, little issues like this. Yeah. Sorry, everyone. They never said sorry, everyone. No, I was trying to be more modern. I was about to say ladies and gentlemen.

Is that what that would say? Yeah. Sorry, ladies and gentlemen and others, I guess. Yeah, it would have that kind of life, yes. And then under the rest, fucking work. It's a fucking nonsense. Anyway, we just had a little issue with one of the breakers. Men's coming in now.

we're going to fix it up. Probably 15, 20 minutes, I'm afraid. But we'll do our best to make up that time on the flight. I think it looks like we've got a nice tailwind. We'll ride that make up most of that time and get you to San Jose. Not long after the scheduled time. Why is so puffed? Well, he's puffed and also he's talking to a cargo plane.

There's no passengers on this thing. There's like a few dogs or something underneath? It's just talking to like fadix packages, I guess. But that's the thing. You know, you treat them how you want to be treated. All cargo is important, whether it's packages or people. Yes. I was disappointed that the pilot didn't tell me what the weather was like in the place.

I'm going to be at in 22 hours. Yeah. Yeah, come on, man. Weather is currently, I don't give a shit. I do not give a shit. Is it going to be the same in 20 hours? unlikely, yeah. Yeah.

Especially if they are cutting into the movie. Yes. Otherwise, like, I can drown out. Hey, we're just letting you know we're going to serve dinner soon. It's like, I could tell because I can smell it and they're walking up the aisle. You don't have to interrupt mean girls. They're tapping us on the shoulder. I want to know what Katie Heron's up to.

It's October 3rd, etc. What's you up to? She's in math class. Thank you. So if this does turn out to be a faulty breaker, it's going to be a pain in the ass. They're going to have to get maintenance on. And if, based on some of the packages may be needing to be refrigerator or whatever, I don't know, potentially if they're on the runway for so long, they'll have to get offloaded, put on another flight.

It was just going to be a real... It's a logistical nightmare. Yeah. And on top of this, if they were delayed long, it would probably mean they'd have to stay overnight in San Jose rather than making it home to Memphis. Memphis is like FedEx's home base, it's home airport. So that's, they're flying in and out of there. So I imagine that the pilots, the crew probably lived there, I suppose.

So, you know, it would have been a real pain in the eye. So Peterson's like, all right, I'm resetting the breaker, and I'm going to keep my eye on it to see if it flicks off again. Yeah, if it did pop out, maintenance would be called. Delays would just have to, you know, they'd just have to cop it. But this time it didn't flick off again. Great. Fantastic. The rest of the pre-flight processes were completed, and they were good to go, and the plane was cleared for takeoff, and that's what they did. They took to the skies.

Takeoff went very smoothly, but less than half an hour into the flight, as they flew above 19,000 feet. Calloway, who was on board, you know, he's flying. He's just an extra. He's just an extra. He's a dead hit. His only luggage, his guitar case. Uh, about half an hour into the flight, he reaches into the guitar case. Oh, God, they're thinking not Wonderworld, Jesus Christ.

This is going to be hell. I've heard that guy at karaoke. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. And, uh, yeah, this is when the bloody carnage begins. What song? Okay, so what's going on here? A bit odd, right? Yeah.

Well, CVRD writes, flight engineer. What's that? It's gotchacover.com. That's good. As far as I remember. Coronercovered.com or the cockpit voice recorded database. Yep. Flight engineer Auburn Calloway knew his career was about to end.

His employer, FedEx, Federal Express, had recently uncovered a series of irregularities and outright falsifications in both his original employment applications. and in hundreds of hours of flight records. He was ordered to appear at a disciplinary hearing in the second week of April 1994, the next week, and he understood that the likeliest outcome

of such a hearing would be his termination. He's like, I'm busted. He was like, he falsified a lot of flight records. Is he a pilot at all? He lied on his CV. I think he was a pilot, but this was going to mean he'd lose his flights of, certification.

Yeah. Certification. I always say cert the first way. Yeah, he probably also would lose his certificate. Yeah. Like, you know, his employee of the month. Yes. They'd have to take that back.

Rescinded. Yeah, they just put it cross through all these photos on the wall. That's shameful. His solution, I got you covered rights, was as simple as it was horrifying. He would provide for his family financially and his own life, and in the process, he would punish FedEx in the worst way imaginable. So, remembering that this was in a pre-9-11 world, security checks for staff

were very limited. Right, you're not getting scanned on the way in every day. No. So he just, he wandered in and you probably realize there was no guitar in the case. And rather than pulling out an axe, I was a violin and then there's plenty of room left over. Yeah, for his, you know, overnight clothes. Yeah. Toiletry bag. Yeah. Toletry bag and spare jocks in case you have an accident.

Yeah. Sounds like he did have an accident. Yeah. Yes. So, yeah, he didn't pull out his axe. Instead, he extracted a hammer. Oh, my God. He was about to bludgeon the unsuspecting crew.

I assumed gun. Me too. Wow. A hammer. Why do you need a whole guitar case for a hammer? You could have a ukulele case. You could have a hammer in a backpack. Yeah.

Well, the guitar case can. contained two claw hammers, two sledge mallets, a knife and a spear gun. Oh my God. The CVRD writes, the weapons that Calloway chose for his attack seemed bizarre and indicative of a deranged mind, but when you understand the cold calculation of his plan, the terrible logic becomes clear. Okay. Calloway could have easily smuggled a gun on board, but he wanted to inflict no injuries

that were inconsistent with an air crash. Oh, that's just a blunt force trauma stuff. Yes. So this was the crux of his very grim plan. And here's the thing. Obviously, this man's not well mentally to make these decisions, right? But the likely outcome of this hearing is he's going to lose his job. Okay.

Yeah, yeah. There are other jobs. You don't have to go on a killing spree. No. Why is it always that? Why is it always that? It's, um... Oh, I was going to...

But my job? Okay, get another one. You fucked up. Yes. Yeah, but I guess maybe his family doesn't know why that he's lied all these things. It's a terrible embarrassment or whatever as well. Yeah, not to, certainly not at all. No.

Forgiven anything, but it is like on tiny scales, I know that idea of you go, oh shit. And it's like this sort of sunk cost fallacy almost where you're like, now that's happened, I may as well cover it with this. But my ones are like, you know, I don't know. when I was a kid I broke something of dads and I'm like oh fuck yeah I'm going to kill everyone on board that's right if I burn the house down there I want to know they'll never know they'll never know yeah if I burn down the house that little broken fob watch yeah dad was a Dickensian well yes well we shifted through the rubble and only one thing survived this this broken

fob watch but actually you couldn't have broken in the way it was stored in the fireplace Ironically, one of the other places that survived. I think it was broken before the house was burnt down. You're right. It's like it spirals in it. Yeah, of course it is. And he's obviously not thinking correctly. No, no, no.

This is, it's so crook and awful. But the leap is insane, isn't it? Yes. Yep, it would be embarrassing that your family found out you lied. You lied. You lied and it snowballs. Yes. And that happens.

And you don't think of... This is such a leap. Such a leap and he's like, well, I've provided for my family. But also, you are traumatizing your family. and probably generations to come. Horrific stuff for your family to work through. And killing innocent. Of course, but he's obviously thinking about his family being like,

I'm doing it for them, but you're also, it's awful for them. And let's not think about all the people expecting packages. Yeah, but they, we don't know. The real victims. We don't know that that doesn't land. Oh, true. Well, if his plan came together, I think it's fair to say. Well, I haven't heard the plan yet.

Okay, well, this is the crux of his plan. Basically, evidence of his violent crimes would be lost amongst the devastation of a plane crash. Okay, that's bad news for the pastures. Rather than shooting them, which would have, if he did that. It would look like they'd been shot because they had been. Yes. Yes. This way, he's going to do it in a much more violent and awful way.

Yep. So that it looks like they just died in a plane crash. The only one that doesn't make sense is the spear gun. Oh my God, this man was spear during the plane crash. Yes. Or is that like a, a, uh, a, uh, a little bit of a plane crash. last resort sort of thing maybe. I guess so and it's still not a...

Have a gun for the last resort. You're right. Spear is... I guess a speed, like, you could be... Impaled by something in a crash, but a bullet wound is probably very specific. And I guess that maybe didn't have access to a gun. Maybe he's a spear fisherman on the weekend.

Right, that could be true. Anyway, so too much... But that was exactly right, Bob. Pete, like, in a crash, hammer wounds... Would look like... Would look like... Could be confused for injuries you'd suffer in a crash.

Bullet wounds could not. Yeah. Then, and from there, he'd believed that he would seek revenge on FedEx by plowing the plane into the Memphis FedEx headquarters, killing himself, but also ensuring his family a lucrative payout from his life insurance, which he'd just purchased. Okay, hard to make that look as much like an accident if you have a target on the ground that is the headquarters, and it's not where you were going, right? Aren't you leaving? Yeah, they were leaving Memphis.

Yeah, so it would be very confusing. So he's got to turn the plane around. Mm-hmm. Okay. But he wants to really fuck over FedEx. So he has, it can't just be crash it somewhere. I will. He's got to crash it into the head, the, like the warehouse to really annoy them.

Mm-hmm. And I'll say that that doesn't end up happening. Yeah. But also like what's... And it's also, it's not clear if that, what that is what is believed to be his plan, but we don't know that for sure. But I also just want to say that he wants to punish FedEx for doing their due diligence and holding someone accountable for lying and potentially putting people in danger for a long time.

Those sick fucks. Always sticking up for the big businesses, Papa. Yeah, I love big biz. And if any big biz wants to get in touch and collaborate, I'm available. Oh, I should say I am as well. Oh, I'll do it for half. Five for a third. Capitalism works.

As it turns out, you've probably, I'm guessing you figured this out. When Calloway was found in the engineer station, he had just disabled a recording device. And I guess after Peterson flicked it back on, he did it again a second time when Peterson... He went, Peterson, what's that? Yeah. He wasn't actually turn off the device. He was flicking the breaker that, yeah, anyway, basically flicking off. So, yeah, obviously it wasn't due to a faulty breaker at all.

It was all part of the plan. And the only reason we really know what happened from here, or even up to this point, is because Peterson noticed and turned it back on. Ah, I thought it might have been a full mystery. Exactly. Yeah. Obviously, it's pretty gruesome. Right.

So he reached into his guitar case, pulls out a hammer, and none of the three crew members heard him entering the cockpit. According to another article breaking this down on AEN logistics, the first few swings landed on Peterson's head, so he was closest to the door. Peterson left out a low whimper and slouched in his seat. As Tucker turned around to see the source of the. commotion, he too got hit to the left side of his head with a blow that instantly incapacitated him

before he could react. The CVRD continues. Sanders, the captain, the pilot, suddenly became aware of a struggle and heard the awful sound of a hammer blows raining down upon his crewmates. He turned to see both men slumped in their chairs, injured terribly, and a blood-soaked Auburn Calloway moving towards him. Calloway swung wildly at Sanders. Some of the blows landed. some were deflected. The plain lurch, the Sanders, desperately tried to defend himself. Full-on stuff. Yeah, awful.

Absolutely awful. Incredibly, though, while they were wounded, Peterson and Tucker started to regain consciousness. Wow. Despite the blows, they were somehow still alive. And more than that, they started fighting back. Wow. They also had hammers. No, unfortunately, it was bare hands.

Okay. versus a man with a hammer. Yeah, and even without the hammer, actually, Calloway was quite a formidable. He was a big unit. Right, okay. Six foot two. It's a black belt in martial arts. I couldn't find anything more specific than martial arts.

All of them. Ex-Fedex captain named Mark Lombardo when he was asked about Calloway. He called him, quote, all muscle. So it was a big unit who could fight and he was the only one with a weapon. Because it is pretty, like to take on three people at once in a confined space with just a small hand weapon is, that seems like a lot. Yes. He obviously had surprise. Yes, that's true.

And, yeah, apart from the fact that he was a trained fighter and a big muslin unit as well. But he obviously felt things weren't going his way and realized that the three victims weren't just going to go. out without a fight. Yeah. Despite pretty severe blows to their skulls. So he retreated from the cockpit. They're sitting there like, what the fuck? What just happened?

Right. Can they lock the door now? Well, I mean, lock him out? I think they probably could have, I suppose, but they had. Adrenaline. Nearly no time before he was back, unfortunately. they didn't even have time to radio for help

but they're also all, like they just had their heads crushed. And didn't they start adding locked doors after 9-11? Oh, maybe. Not a big thing? Yeah, that could be right. Or maybe they just changed the protocol as the only the captain or whatever opens it

or some sort of thing. It just really kept people out. Because in 1998 I got to go in the cockpit. You remember when you kid, you get to be a little tour? No, I do. Well, I didn't fly as a kid. Yeah. Afflo and East.

Well, one of you. Dad's school friends was a Qantas pilot, and so when we flew to the US. And another one was an oil baron, I get it. Yeah. Uncle John. Great guy. Yeah. So what was it like?

I'd barely remember, but it was pretty cool. I remember a couple of times going up, like, the steward would say, do you want to come, you know, you're a cute little six-year-old or whatever, seven-year-old, do you want to come look at the, that's pretty fun. And there's a heaps of, like, lots of buttons. Heaps of those buttons and switches that you're talking about, an overwhelming amount. Yeah. And you're like, oh, cool.

And they're just look at you like, hey little Johnny and I'm like oh David got on the little Johnny Scruff his little coloring pack Yes yep yep And they yeah Because it was real like pro-planned propaganda back then

You'd say like Yeah They're little plain toys and stuff Toys and like a I remember I had like a maybe like a watch That was like half a snow globe sort of size thing And there was a little plain and a bubble on it That's fun

So yeah I mean yes now they're a lot more strict on locking the doors But you'd think it had a lock at something What if the captain needed to get changed? A bit of privacy. Yeah. Why is it called the cockpit? I assume it's because they would sometimes have to change. I would assume.

Yeah. I'm not going to look it up. No, I wouldn't look it up. I assume it's because they sometimes have to get changed. I don't want that in my search history. No, thank you. This airborne smut? Great magazine, though.

I love airborne smut. I'm a passionate subscriber. Me too. I get two copies, one to read, one to store. Never take it out of the plastic. I'm a collector. Honestly, I've got... I'm running out of room to store it all.

I want to read or to store. It's very funny. So he's back, sadly. He's back. So they basically no real chance to even figure out what's going on. Their heads are spinning. You know, ears are ringing. They're like, what the...

What's going on? Yeah. And it's also like somebody you work with and know and just... This is really unexpected. What is happening? So they didn't even radio back. So there's no word of this back at base or anything.

And he returns now with the spear gun. Oh, God. Because it's all on the recording. And you can on that website I'm talking about, which will be linked, has the whole transcript if you are interested in that. But he comes back and he's yelling, sit down, sit down, this is a real gun and I'll kill you. But I've never used a spear gun.

Is it one and you're done? And then you have to, it's not like an automatic weapon, is it? Yeah. One spear goes out, then you have to reload it like a crossbow or something. Yeah. I was awful. Can we line up? Yeah.

All right, please. But lucky, it's not like we're. It's more of a threat and you're like, yeah. But yeah. Which one of us? Yeah. If you take the spear. If you antagonize a bit.

You cop the spear. Yeah. And while he's just. trying to retrieve the spear out of your dead body. Yes. I'll bop him on the head. I'll bop him on the head. My captain's cap.

Yes. I'll give him a little donk on the head. With one of these little watches that I would have normally given to a kid. Yeah. Even though this is, we only really fly. Cargo, but you never know. You never know. Maybe there'll be a boy package one day.

Pinocchio or something. We don't know. Panokia. Maybe Pinocchio will be on here. He'll wish to be a real boy. I'll give him a little watch. I'll give him a little watch. I don't know.

You know, you take the spear. That's the main thing I'm trying to say. Yeah, we've already, we know what you're doing. I'll improvise. This is just possibilities. You're going to be the one who takes the speaker. You're going to be the very important job, may I say as well. Some would say.

Yeah. Honestly, you'll be a remember. No one to remember me. I'm just the watch guy. Oh, to be honest, I wish I was the one taking the spear. Oh, hell, I wish it could be me, but it can't. It can't be. Unfortunately, it's got to be you.

It just, it just does. It just does. Captain. So Peterson has almost about 10 wounds. Wow. From a hammer, that's so awful. Bleeding from his face from his head, and he's sort of drifting to unconsciousness.

Couldn't even see Calloway. Like, visions blurring, ringing in his ears. But apparently he could see the spear gun. And it's like the spear point. he right his face, so inches away. And so he just uses all his might, lunges at him, grabs the spear, and threw himself on top of Calloway. Wow.

Then Captain Sanders jumps in. So the two of them are, even though they're... So injured. They're trying to focus all they can on holding Calloway down, who is at this point uninjured, still a big musly six foot two martial arts blackboard. belt. Yeah. So, yeah.

I feel like in a lot of ways, if somebody asks you about me, because you guys talk about how incredibly strong I am. Especially in the bottom half. The bottom half, very strong. And in here. I'm pointing to my chest. I'm very strong in your heart, in your chest. Yes.

But here's the thing, it's simply not true. Know what I mean? It maybe was at a certain time. I might have been someone's right. But I don't go, I don't exercise anymore. You don't need to. So. I think once you get it, you got it.

Yeah, that's right. What I'm trying to get at is this other colleague who used to work at him was like, oh, yeah, he's all muscle. Maybe things have changed. Maybe he's not so musselessly or strong anymore. Maybe he's forgotten some of his martial arts. Oh, true. That's what I'm getting at. Maybe you've drifted back to a yellow belt.

Yeah. Which is like, which I've done. Yellow's got to be low. Yellow's like the first. Yeah, it's like number two after white. It's basically, is it more, more darker, more higher? What's below black? What's above back?

I think it's below black. Isn't that brown? Oh, brown? It does maybe change. Depends on the martial art. Yeah. Right. Brown is above black?

No. No. Brown is below. Black's the top one. Brown black is the top one. And then you get like double black, triple black. Or am I thinking about Smernoff pre-mixed drinks that really fuck you up when you go to your friend

Roddy's house in your 12 and then you can't drink those over again. As an example. As a hypothetical example. I mean, I assume everyone has a Roddy. Oh yeah, I know my Roddy. Yeah. Yeah. And they know what they did.

So Sanders and Peterson are trying to summon all they've got to hold down Callaway. Literally life or death stuff. Yes, this is terrifying. But unfortunately, one of the three has to still try and fly the plane. So that's what Tucker is left to do. Wow. Tucker is struggling to control the plane, but he's also beaten up. Yeah.

With a hammer. With a hammer, yes. Back to CVRD. By now Tucker's right arm, so he's trying to fly the plane, but his right arm was nearly useless as the blows to his skull had brought on a paralysis down the right side of his body. That would be terrifying, wouldn't it? Yeah.

But he knew his two mates, Peterson and Captain Sanders needed some help. So he helped in the only way he could, and that was starting to fly the plane in a hectic manner. Oh, throw him around. No way. Oh, this is straight from an action movie. That's a movie, isn't it? That's amazing.

I'm trying to lose him. Bar-ass. That's incredible. And it's usually like the bad he would be doing that whilst Jason Statham's like trying to crawl back. Yes, and furniture's flying around this like, because it's a private jet. Yeah, and then like he gets thrown out and then he's able to grab onto some sort of rope and he's sort of climbing behind the thing.

Yeah. Yeah. And Tom Cruise did that himself. Yeah. What a guy. What a guy. I think he does Statham's. It's sons as well.

I've just thought of a movie that we should watch for Movie Club, and that episode might already even be out by the time this comes out. Tell me, please. Oh, it'll be about out this week, I think. Out this week. Well, I mean, I don't have to say it now because then you're locked into doing it. Oh, yeah, true. But it might, I reckon it's going to have a plane scene. It has a plane scene, and it has Jason Statham.

Oh, my God. Oh, I probably won't have to watch it because I probably already have. I'm trying to think which one, Jason Plaintham. Jason Plaintham. Fantastic. Where he plays Johnny Plainth. Hi. I'm Johnny Plain.

It's me, Johnny Plain. I'm Johnny Plain. My mother was from Britain and my father was a plane. That's why I got this accent. I did a bit of work back home in England. And also my throat is also an engine. And my word are my arms tired. And he's like, I'm retired for special ops.

Now I'm just a simple gardener. But I've got to take a plane back to my mum's funeral. Oh no, terrorists Okay, we just wrote a really good actually I think it's really good Let's get slath them all along And it's cool, Jason, play with him Tucker, what a fucking baller move

When he's so injured So he's like doing it left-handed or whatever One-arm only Which for a lot of us is normal, thanks So he pulls the steering Did you mention right arm at all? Yes, you did Oh, great, okay

I was just thinking Was I quite rude to left-hand a bit? No, I'm more man, one-armed Yes. If I had to choose one to have and be my left. Everyone's shit arm. The sinister arm. The weaker one.

So he uses it. The weird one. He pulls the steering column straight back as hard as he can to his chest. Wow. Meaning the plane goes into a steep climb. It's a rocket ship going to space all of a sudden. That's exactly what I was thinking about. I'd be throwing up.

Peterson and Calloway still struggling for the spear gun. They lose their balance. and they're thrown back out of the cockpit as well as Sanders. So Calloway and the two non-Tucker crewmen are all still, they're fighting, but they're all over the place. Oh my God. Then Tucker rolls the plane hard to the left, taking it into a barrel roll. What the fuck? This is according to CVRD.

The barrel roll was nearly 400 miles per hour, something the aircraft had never been designed to do. Peterson and Sanders were shouting, get him, get him to each other, as the three struggling men were tossed about the galley area, alternatively weightless and then pressed upon by three times their weight in G-forces. Fuck me. By now, the aircraft was inverted flying upside down at 19,700 feet, and the alarmed air traffic controllers in Memphis were desperately calling the fly going, What's going on?

Are you guys, okay? Yeah, yeah. Is the computer saying you're upside down? Is that an malfunction? Is the computer wrong again or are you upside down? Is that an us problem? Yeah. Could just let us know?

Just a bit worried. Just let us know. Love you, mum. Love you, mum. In the movie, like, an alarm would start going off for air traffic control and they'll go, they'd like flick it. Like, is there something wrong with that? Yes.

And you go, oh my God. Blah, blah, blah. We've got a little reporter of a problem here. Yeah. Yeah. Just double checking. Yeah. So obviously they're in no position to reply.

Then at some point they'll see the plane go or stuff like that. They'll be like really frantically trying to call them now. Hey. Hey, yama. Still that tone. Yeah. Hey, guys. So I've just seen you.

I'm pretty sure that's you because it is upside out. Just wanted to make sure everything's okay. Yeah. No worries. If not. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry to me about that.

No pressure either way. Not to nag, but you are upside out. Do you look a little busy, but to get a bit of an update. Oh, my God. Yeah, so they can't reply. Air traffic controller going, what the hell's going on? And in the cockpit, is he strapped in? Yeah, he's strapped in.

Because everyone else is flying around and he's one arm going. But you still feel those G forces. Oh, yeah. He'd be filling the Gs. Oh, my God. And this plane that's not designed to do this is also, like, it's rattling. It's feeling all the forces. It's feeling all the forces.

Forces. Corner AEN, the two men in the back continued to struggle with Calloway, but Peterson's skull was fractured. His temporal artery severed, and he was losing a lot of blood. Temporal artery. Sanders was in better shape than Peterson, but Calloway was uningered still, and he was starting to get on top. Shit.

Tucker was still in the cockpit and in command, and he was like, I'm really going to now push it to the limit. This is like, it's life or death for them. Yeah. There's no, oh, this is a bit dangerous to fly like this is like, it's dangerous not to almost. And he started a series of aerobatic maneuvers to keep the attacker from gaining balance. He realized the trick was that he had to keep it unpredictable.

He was sort of starting to do barrel rolls and he's like, oh, but Calloway eventually will go, I know it's like the G-Forces hit and then I'll have a moment of bang, bang, bang. Oh my God. So he kept it unpredictable instead so that Calloway wouldn't be able to, you know, have a strategy to work his way through it. And not to insert myself in it, but honestly, I'm vomiting everywhere at this point. Yeah, that could help. I think that'd be slippery.

They'd be slippery for him. Some animals use that as a defense mechanism probably. Oh, thank you. That's a nice way of looking at it. Yeah. Yeah, I'm just protecting myself. This is for my safety. And that of my chin and my progeny.

That's why I've thrown up all over. on this flight to San Francisco. This is for his protection. Look at him. He'll slide right out of this plane. And he stinks! You're welcome. Yeah, so no bad he'll want to get him.

He stinks too much. Stay away. I ruined two jumpers. That's hard to do. Ruin two jumpers but saved one day. Saved the day. A.N. continues. One moment, the DC-10, which is the name of the craft,

was on its side. The next, just shy of being. upside down. Calloway freed himself just long enough to reach for his hammer and hit the captain in the head again. Oh, my God. As Tucker now placed the plane in a dive. Wow. Hennon, straight down earth. Unbeknownst to Tucker, the first blow, had fractured his skull, so he's flying a plane with a fractured skull. It's a proper big plane. I've just looked up at DC-10. It's like, yeah, it's not a small aircraft. It's like, it's what you think of when you, you know. Oh, yeah, that's a big, uh... It's just, yeah, biomanufacturer. It's not one of the two manufacturers.

Actress you always hear. This is McMillan, McDonald-Douglas. Okay. You were close. Vaguely close. Yeah. For half of it. For you, pretty good.

So it takes in and all nose dive, but the pilot doing this has a fractured skull and parts of his skull are now embedded in his brain. Jesus. Now, I've done first aid. Okay, great. But I wouldn't pretend to be more qualified than that. But from my training, that's not good. Really?

Because I'm unqualified and I wasn't sure. Yeah, bits of your skull. Well, your skull ideally, from a medical standpoint, should stay where it is and intact. Oh, no. Sorry, I'm going to have to make a quick call. I've given some really bad advice. I've been storing my skull at home and I just need to make a quick call.

Dad, yeah, don't get that operation. I know it was going to look cool. Oh, that's awful. So, yeah, it's like, if he was in perfect health, what he's doing is incredible. Yes. But doing it with half your body incapacitated, your brain with shards of your own skull embedded in it now. Hectic. And it's like taking its toll on him.

As the plane's diving, he continued to lose feeling and control over the wrong. right side of his body, you know, he can feel it, like, leaving him the control of it. Four. And he's, yeah, flying it with one arm, the alarms are blaring because, like, a lot of things aren't as they should be. So all sorts of, you know, the little red flashing lights, they're all going off. And that's over-stimulating then, you know? Yeah, but mine's like, I'm dealing with a lot.

I don't need that. Yeah. In the movies you always see it's like, whoop, whoop, pull up, pull up. I'm trying. Yeah. I need to concentrate. Yeah. Thank you.

Okay. Thank you. It's like my washing machine three times in a row. We'll go, do-d-d-d-l-d-do-do. Done now. This is not the final countdown, okay? I'm going to wash again.

I get it. But yeah, it tells you three times in a row. Like five minutes. All right. I'll fucking get there. He's like, I can see the earth approaching. Yes. I'm aware.

Thanks so much. I know we're meant to be flying across and we're flying down. Too low. Too low. Pull up. Yes. No shit. There's a murderer back there.

And then he looks. to his right side, the side that he doesn't have a working arm on, and realized that the throttle was still at full capacity. It had been the whole flight, full throttle, pedal to the metal, basically, but he can't reach with that arm on that side to pull it back. No. So they're heading towards Earth faster than they need to be. Oh, my God.

Yep. Okay. That's horrific. So apart from the full throttle, gravity is also doing its thing. And the plane soon reaches the aircraft's maximum safe speed of 430 miles per hour. But that's not where they're stopping. They're still speeding up. Wow.

Soon they're going 500 miles per hour. What's that in case? That is, so one mile is 1.6Ks. So 500 would be 800. 800. 800 kis per hour. And yeah, it went faster than that to the point that the instruments were no longer able to register or record how fast they had. We don't even know how fast they got because it was faster than the plane could record.

Wow. They're going fast than the speed of light. Yeah. Yeah. In theory. In theory. We don't know. We don't know.

Could be even fast than that. There's no way to know. Wow. Could be fast on the speed of touch. What's the fastest one? That was so fast. Well, in my experience with the latest, it's really quick. I touch them real quick.

I touch them really quick. And then they're gone. They leave. They leave. Finding light where we can. Faster than the speed of touch. Fasten the speed of rejection. Oh, okay.

Yeah, that's pretty quick. Another one gone? Try again. Numbers game. turn. That's what the guidebook told me. One day, Maddie. One day. One day.

One day. Numbers game. Running out of numbers. It's what my dad said when we were shopping for cars when I was 1819 and it's the same when you're shopping for women. Yeah. Numbers game. Yeah.

What does he mean like price or how many look at? Yeah, he's just, you know, you look at them, you test out a bunch. Eventually you'll find the right thing. I don't know if numbers game is the correct sort of phrasing, but, you know, whatever. Just very ambiguous. Yeah, it's a number. That's a salesman. He says a lot of buzzwords.

Oh, that's a good thing for a salesman. You know what I mean? Yeah, it's probably seen a few cars today in numbers game. Yeah. Sorry, what? Yep. Buy high, sell low. That's good.

Sorry what? Yeah, Wall Street. Yeah. Bear, bull. Market. Yeah, I've seen them more. Oh, dollars and cents. Numbers game.

Oh, you know, the NASDAQ will do what it. It does. Yep, that night's back. We'll do it. It will do it. It always bounces back, mate. Yeah. Oh, let's just get into the blue chip stocks.

I guess. Can't go wrong there. BHP. CRA? RSA V. RSA. IBM. Anyway, the DC 10.

Oh, that's another one. Was now flying faster than any DC 10 had ever gone before. I mean, at least you'd be thinking, I'm going to get in the Guinness Book of record. Yeah, it's pretty good. So there's that. Sure, parts of my skull are in my brain. But you don't know that. This plane is shuddering.

Wow. And feeling stresses that it is not designed to withstand. Yep, yep, yep. Oh, my God. This is unsustainable. AEN writes, the airplane became unresponsive as it could no longer be pulled out of the dive. With the only hand that was still functioning, Tucker let go of the steering column and pulled the throttle back.

didn't slow the plane much. The gravity was obviously still doing his job. Pull back the gravity. Oh my God. Yeah. Why didn't you just get the gravity? Well, I think that part of his brain, the bit that understs cover. You've got one arm at a time.

Yeah, true. He's already on the stick. Yes. Now do the throttle, then the gravity. That's what they teach you in the simulator. Yes, you did first day and a simulator. Yes. Big day.

Yeah. Luckily, the wind resistance did start slowing the plowling the plighter. plane, just enough at least for him to regain control. With elevators and wings shuddering from excessive speed and barely able to hang on, he slowly pulled the plane out of the dive. In the meantime, the struggle in the galley continued. Oh my gosh. Calloway managed to grab the hammer one more time and struck the captain once again.

That's the second one. He's copped back there in the second part of the fight. My God. He's, yep. With his flight engineer, Peterson, bleeding out from his severed artery and with repeated blows to his head, Sanders gathered the last ounce of his strength, pulled the hammer from Calloway's hand, and struck him until the attacker stopped moving. As in like repeatedly.

Yeah. Wow. He got the weapon and he turned it on Calloway. And it looked like the crew was finally able to put Calloway down. and at last Tucker was able to take the radio headset and call Memphis and go, it was quite a hectic call apparently, but he got across it.

There was some sort of attack, needed an ambulance, they needed an emergency landing. And the AEN continues. He's obviously incredibly disorientated as well. Yes. So he's like, he's being up, down, spinning around. His head's caved in.

Yes. He's like. He can't feel the right side of his body. I need directions back. Yeah. We're coming back. How do we get back? The fact that he's been able to communicate anything at all is remarkable.

Once the autopilot Joroscope was stable enough for autopilot to take over, semi-paralyzed Tucker went back to the galley to help Peterson and Sanders. And while Calloway started to wake up, the stunned captain returned to the cockpit to fly the plane back to Memphis. Oh my gosh. So the Swit Tucker is now helping hold down Calloway. and Sanders is back to... Fuck out. None of them are suitable to fly, blame, no.

Well, you know, Callow probably is. He'd be in the best position, too. Yes, but he's also been his way. It's like, this is a bit awkward, mate. Could you land this? Could you? This is a real speaker. Oh my God, this story is incredible and harrowing.

Yeah. And it's not over yet. Yes. No, unfortunately not. If this was an... action movie it would be like so thrilling and then you go no this is real life and this is horrific oh my god uh back to the a end tucker gripped the spear gun uh he picked up on his way to the galley and kept it pointed at calloway uh but the paralysis he's remember he's he's only got one properly

working arm yeah the paralysis made his grip slip and calloway took that opportunity to attack again no the only thing the uh injured men could do was throw all their weight into their attacker to try and keep him pinned down, but Calloway was slipping and Peterson was in no shape to put up a fight. Hearing the struggle in the back, so yeah, I mean, the healthier of the two, Peterson's like, seven-arter, he's in trouble, whereas Tucker, he's got at least one pretty well-working arm. But yeah, Sanders hears them struggling again, so he's like, shit, he turns autopilot back on,

and goes back out. So the three of them are now trying to subdue Callaway. And Tucker's able to get a hold of a hammer again and hits Callaway one more time. According to the CVRD, they were cleared for any runway. They're like, all right, we're clearing the airport. Take your pick. Have a go.

No one on the ground understood what had happened. All they knew was that an unnerved crew member had reported some sort of an attack and had requested an emergency link. landing. But according to AEN, by the time the captain was back in his seat, the airplane was coming in too steep and too fast. Oh, come on, they've survived so far. And it's still loaded with fuel, obviously, because I haven't flown that far, certainly nowhere near as far as they were meant to fly. And it was too heavy to slow down in time. So he didn't want to

take the chance that Calloway would wake up again, because they were really, whenever Keloah was awake, they really struggled to subdue him. You'd be tempted to have a couple of goes while he's down, wouldn't you? I guess, yeah. I mean, it's pretty grim stuff, isn't it? He keeps coming back and you are all dying. Yeah. And it's all happening so fast, you don't have time to be making these sorts of decisions.

It would have to be, like, because they are so experienced these guys, and before that work, you know, for the Navy. They've got a lot of experience with, you know, pretty stressful stuff and all that training. So some of it would just be instinct, I guess. And he had good instincts, Captain Sanders, because he switched at the last second his approach. And with warning alarms blaring, he executed a hair-raising approach to an alternative runway that had more room. And this turned out to be the right instinct. But Calloway started a struggle for a hammer for a third time.

and this is when the airplane was less than 300 feet off the ground. The flaps were fully extended with the landing gear down, and Captain Sanders hit the runway hard and rolled to a stop with less than 900 feet of the runway left in front of him. So it was like a really close call in that regard as well. But the medics were able to get onto the plane, and they had landed safely. Obviously, the men were in an awful state, but they have landed.

Far out. Peterson and Tucker are in critical condition And the medics were able to get onto the plane I caught in a CVRD A paramedic boarded the plane And found blood and gore everywhere he looked Oh my God, it would have been flying around Because I was doing

Oh my God, yeah All the spins in the air while a man is bleeding out from an hour Dripping from the walls Like a horror movie Bits and pieces of all sorts of stuff Yeah And the packages And the packages

Could probably be damaged a little Oh my God You say lucky I'm I was there because it'd also be violent. You'd be spew too. Probably poo if I was there. Not me, but definitely. Don't take your pants off.

Sorry, it's easier. Just for the listeners, I did bite my tongue and not say a third bodily fluid. Have to respect, Matt. This is a harrowing thing these people have been through. It's not appropriate for you to be coming all over the place. Well, that's why. I didn't even say, it could have been any. It could have been spit.

Was it going to be spit? No. Sanders and Peterson were laying on top of a still-struggling Callaway while Jim Tucker sat shaking at the co-pilot station. But they came in, Calloway was handcuffed and taken away. Oh, my God. The threat's gone, thank goodness. I thought they were gone, as for sure.

Yes. Because you did say their last ever flight, but maybe that's because their injuries were so horrific. Oh, my God. Sadly, yes. But yeah, I guess we've sort of gone through this, but to reiterate what Calloway's plan was, the investigation figured out pretty quickly.

You know, they went and found evidence at his apartment. He'd written out his plan. Yeah, he's like, and then? Step 10, put this plan in the fireplace, so no one discovers it. Yeah, never got there. bring it onto the flight as well. So it'll be destroyed in the crash. Con A, and he would disconnect the cockpit flight recorder.

This is the plan. Bludging his crew to their deaths using weapons that wouldn't stand out in the wreckage. Then he would crash the plane. Can I ask, was his original plan because he was going to be on that flight to only have two guys to deal with? Exactly. Like I said, I'm like, I'll go back. Sorry, guys, just got to hit the head. They've got to go back there, comes back, takes out two guys pretty quickly.

That is exactly right. His original plan and a few of the articles made mention of his initial crew, one of them was going to be a woman as well. So not only one less person. That changes everything. Well, not only one less person to deal with, one of them was a woman. But he also... We assume easier to kill.

He also would have been in the position that would have been in control of turning off the flight recorder. So we wouldn't have had to have worried about anyone turning it back on. Yeah, no one's going to notice. Hey, so everything about it. it would have been easier for him to accomplish it. And maybe we would have just thought of it as this sad disaster without knowing what had really happened. Wow.

Yeah. But then he wasn't, he went over his hours and the crew was changed and stuff. And he still went with the plan. He was like, well. Locked down, I've committed to that. I guess because he had that disciplinary meeting coming up. So it's not like he can, I'll take a range of. it next month.

Yeah, true. And he also, because I was like, oh, it's amazing he still did it knowing that it was all being recorded. But apparently back then, in 94, it would take 30 minutes. He just had to fly around for 30. If he was able to kill them as planned, he would have just had to have flown for 30 minutes and that would have wiped the recorder. It would only...

It was on a loop. Yeah. And then crashed it and the recorder would have been. been wiped that way. So that's probably what he was thinking. But I don't think he's ever really explained it. So a lot of this is just theories. Wow. Yeah. So he was obviously arrested. He was charged. The evidence founded his apartment. He tried to have that evidence suppressed for lack of probable cause, but that was unsuccessful. And he was convicted on a two-count indictment of air piracy and interference of flight operations.

So he, yeah. You don't think of attempted murder for that? I know as well. Times three? Yeah. He made it so much worse than if he just lost his job. It's the, yeah, the, um, chasing your, no, what do you call it? Don't never chase your losses.

So they're a gambling thing. Also, like, your family's not going to be in the disciplinary hearing. You just say you lost your job because of, you know, budget cuts or whatever. And then go get a job doing something else. You don't have to try and kill people. But just to check, did he also lose his job? He did end up losing his job. Oh, okay.

That's good. Because if you kept the job, I would have said, well, it's worth it. I think he mainly, I don't know if he would have lost it, but the main thing was that he's in jail forever. I think that made it hard for him to deliver packages. He's not flying, the remote. Not flying the jail plane, the con air. Oh, that's true.

That's true, yeah. No, got life or somewhat, I sort of too long. He's in jail forever, no chance of parole, basically. He has had attempts to have his sentence reduced, but I believe they have failed, and he's still in there today. So, I mean, these articles, depending on when they were written, there are like four different articles, and everyone had him in a different prison.

So I'm guessing he's been moved around a bit. Like different states even. Yeah. Well, if that happens in the US, they doesn't? You get arrested in one state and they're like, yeah, you go on Arizona. Yeah, they got you now. Thanks, my family will never see me again.

Is that right? Yeah, I don't know. I don't really understand why that would be, but I guess, yeah, I don't know. There's waiting lists for the good prisons, so. Oh, yeah, put your name down early. Yeah. That's why it's good to offend a young. That's right.

So I guess let focus less on him, focus more on the heroes. Yeah. Where are they now? I'm going to CVRD. While Sanders, Tucker and Peterson did survive. It was at a terrible cost. Sanders suffered multiple lacerations to his head, had been stabbed in his right arm and had a dislocated jaw.

His right ear had been almost completely severed. Oh my God. Jim Tucker's skull was severely fractured. The right-sided paralysis did end up passing. Wow. But he ended up experiencing ongoing motor function impairments to his right arm and leg and was also blinded in one eye. Sheesh.

Andy Peterson also suffered a skull fracture as well as a severe temporal artery, as mentioned. This is probably unsurprising. They were all awarded with gold medals for heroism, which is the highest recognition a civilian aviator can receive. And yeah, while they mostly recovered from their injuries, obviously there was ongoing scarring physically and mentally. Yeah. And they were never able to be recertified as medically fit for commercial flying. That's so, it's awful. It's awful.

It's awful. It's like, that's their profession and their life. I would like to think that FedEx has looked after them. You'd hope so, yeah. But yeah, considering I thought this was going to end with them all dead, I'm so relieved. They survived, but, yeah, their lives were ruined. Yeah. That's awful.

In 2005, Sanders said, the bond of pilots, what you do together in the airplane and outside of the airplane, I miss that. I miss it very much. Tucker said, the only way for me to be able to fly without someone with me is to be off the medication. And at this point, it's been ascertained that I will never be able to do that. Finally, in a happier note to end on, he's since been able to return to recreational flight. And also, as of just a few years ago, the airplane is still flying. What? It survived. Wow.

So, yeah. I care less about the plane. No, me too. I'm happy that it's okay. I was searching for a positive. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it's such a grim story, but it's such a, I mean, it's, you know, those stories where it's the, it's awful, but holy shit, how, these three guys, it's like

about as bad ass as you can get. It's just that reminder of how horrific and how terrible humans can be and also how amazing humans can be, all in the one story. Just the final flight, the adrenaline coursing through them that allowed them to like, they've had their heads bashed in and they're still fighting. That's incredible. Yeah. Oh, my God.

Amazing. What a story. And he just kept coming back. Yes. Fuck. Yeah. All of them just operating. I guess for different reasons

but just on the it's uh this is a laugh or death absolutely now or never barrel rolls in a play that size is incredible one armed barrel rolls yeah yeah back in it up for wow what a story

thank you for that man I love how on this show after 10 years we can still come across stories like that and be like I've never heard of that and that is amazing yeah yeah suggested by Tim Elif and Jamie Belgium Istanbul and not sure. Wow. Well, that brings us to everyone's favorite section of the show

where we thank some of our great Patreon supporters. If you want to be involved, you can go to patreon.com slash do-go-on-pod. There's a bunch of different things you can get involved if you sign up. Don't worry about the words I said there. Yeah, but you get the gist. The gist means patreon.com slash Tugon-pod. There's a bunch of different levels. You can get things like four bonus episodes a month.

You also get to be in the Facebook group, the nicest corner of the internet. You have to vote on the topics. You get to listen to the ad-free feed. You get to see videos. People are watching this video right now. I'm pointing at them. Imagine that.

I could be pointing at you. Well, you don't have to imagine because you can just... Well, there you go. And get it. But why... One of the things, if you're on the Sydney-Shanberg level, specifically or above, you get to be in the fact quote of questions section.

of this show, which has a jingle actually goes somewhere like this. Fact quote or question. That's it. He always remembers the ding. She always remembers the sing. And beautifully done today, I think you both hit that perfectly. Thank you. Now, in this section, you get to give us a fact, a quote, a question,

if you're on the Sydney-Shanberg level or above. And really, it can be whatever you like. The first one comes from Michael Derrissy. And you also get to give yourself a title, and Michael's title is La Loba. La La La La La La La La La La La La La La. And Michael's offering a quote writing, lately my hyperfixation has been on the music of Shakira. Oh, yeah.

So here is an excerpt from her song, Loebba. One loba in el-a-mario, Tiena gannas de sellie, ah-oh. Taya that's cema-o-el-a-le-a-dh-dun-dormir, Andes de it there a domir, dormier, aha. Which of course means a she wolf in the closet wants to get out. A'o!

Let her eat the neighborhood before you go to sleep. Ah, ah! That is so good. That's really good. I don't think I know that song, but I want to know it better. I know what you'll be listening to on the way home. I thought. I think you said Barrio.

But at first I thought you said Barno. Barrio. I thought he was talking about the toilet. Where's the toilet? No, Val banio. What's Shakira talking about the toilet? Barrio, is that suburb or something? Neighborhood.

Mark Barizzi. Thank you so much for bringing a bit of Shakira to our attention. Shakira, Shakira. I should say, I don't read these out until I read them out. So I didn't know that I was going to be speak singing in the language that that is in. Maybe Spanish. But I think. Sisi?

Nay, I'm confident I nailed it. I think so, too. Nick Verrosa coming in next, aka Mr Yankee Doodle movies. And Miss Yankee Doodle has a question writing. Just mentioned on the El Dorado episode that Paddington 2 would be in her letterbox top four. So what would be the full top four movies of all time for each of you? Plus, what was your favorite movie from last year? And I always ask our question to ask us to question answer themselves.

And that's happened right here with Mr Yankee Doodle movies. Okay, Nick Verterosa writing. For me, I just completed a ranking of nearly 700 movies I've seen in my letterboxed top four, a Jurassic Park, Empire Strikes Back, the Godfather and the Dark Night. The best movie of 2024 would be either Transformers 1 or Nostoratu. I don't know how long ago you sent this message in. Oh, it is? sent through maybe in February.

Nick, I think, is one who sends in messages like a bunch of facts, quotes and questions. Oh, wow. We appreciate you. But that is a big top four. Funnily enough, AJ, who edits this show also edits the top four letterbox videos. Yeah, works at letterbox. And that's why I already know my top four, if I can remember them now. Last time I thought about it, it would always change.

But last time I thought about it was with Nail and I. Nope, the second in the Planet of the Apes rebooted series. Plymouthed The Aps 2. And I think Scream. Ooh. Interesting mix there. But Back to the Future is also maybe, I can't remember. I've never seen Scream.

I don't like it. I think so. Great. It's fun. It's funny. It's fun. It's sort of, you know, it's a horror movie, but it's a sort of a satire of a horror as well, I guess. JP.

Mine, Nick, you are correct. Paddington 2. Four weddings and a funeral. Spy. Oh, fun. I wish you watched the movie club. I watched it, but then I was sick and didn't get to do it. It's so fun.

I loved it. And then I have about time in there as well, but I think that's one that could maybe others rotate in, I think. Okay, that's sort of the... But Paddington 2 is number one. Wait, I said nope. I didn't mean nope. I meant get out. Get out.

It's great. Get out's amazing. Sorry about that. That's okay. Nope. You're incorrect. We forgive you. I'm going to say my four, I think it's Terminator 2.

The Rock. I can't believe it. Conair. And like it probably rotates between die hard and speed. Let's say speed. Yep. I love action movies. Yeah.

You sure do. Thanks so much, Nick, for that question. Great question. And yeah, and also to Michael for your. La Loba Someone should post in the Patreon Facebook group Get a thread going

I love to hear other people's top four Oh yeah That'd be fun Now the next thing we like to do Is shout out to some of our other great Patreon supporters Bob you normally have a game Based on the topic of the day And I mean you know it was a bit of a

Ground paper ones. Thank you so much to Bethany, Cara, Caitlin, Sophie, Suzanne, Chloe, Petit, Charles and Kate. And the next thing we need to do is welcome in some people in the Triptage Club. We've got two inductees in the Triptich Club. One inductee into the triple Triptich Club. Dave, what am I talking about? You are talking about our dedicated clubhouse slash Hall of Fame. for people who have been supporting the show

on the shoutout level or above on Patreon for three consecutive years. We've already given them a nickname or something a couple of years back. But now, two and shrine and forever, the name goes up on the board in gold riding, and then they run on into our Theatre of the Mind Clubhouse. Once you're in, you can never leave.

But why would you want to? We've got everything in there. We've got a tattooist on site. We've got a small roller coaster. We've also got a large roller coaster. We've got food. We've got drink. We've got music.

And it is Jess's job to cater for the growing it's a thousand plus people in there now so you have to really think about how you're going to cater for them well look the last time we did a plane based topic I I kind of went with that theme and I was like

delivering food on the cart like on a plane but you might remember that I accidentally ordered a slutty costume yes I honestly I can't get that out of my mind and not in a good way I'm really sorry so I wanted to make up for it and obviously I thought like that because I've still got the cart the trolley thing

so I was like it would be good to use that again And I wanted to make up for it So I ordered a different A different air hostess costume This one more tasteful of It's actually sluggier What? How? I know

Is that possible? Yeah, somehow it is It's nearly, there's nearly no material On this thing at all You're wearing a ribbon It's a bra but I've got a little collar on too Oh my God I know, I'm really sorry

This is not appropriate It's not And I've sorry I have I've messed up again Is there time to return and get a new one? Um, I mean, I'm already in it. Well, you could you just put it maybe a coat on or something? Paddington-style duffel?

I've just never seen an air hostess wearing a coat. Yeah, that's true. That's impractical. And so I just don't, I'm really sorry, you guys. That's okay. I was trying to make up for it. Unfortunately, I've gone too far the other way. But I will be bringing everybody their drinks and food, but, you know, maybe just try to keep your eyes up here.

Okay. Okay. Why are you pointing at your titties? I mean, the mic. The camera really should be on Matt right now because it's the regret face of the century. Matt, if you could just make some noise in your microphone and show us your face. I will not. Now, we got two inductees this week.

AJ will tidy that up in the edit. No. Right. I just want people to look at me in the titties. I don't think I'm asking. What to make you feel better if I told you that I booked a band? Yes. Yes, please.

You never going to believe who said yes this week. What? They're obviously out touring the hot festival circuit. You, I, because you used to be in bands and it shows when you talk music. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know lingo that, you know, us normals have no idea about. Sorry, stuff like hot. I referred to you as scum.

But I actually don't know much about this. This is the DJ and house world. Sure. Something I've only dabbled in with a guest DJs. now and then, which is, of course, plugging in a Spotify playlist and then dancing like a fool. But I have, I've booked this week, you never going to believe it, Dutch DJ and record producing sensation.

Put your hands up for Detroit. It's Fetty LeGrand. Wow. Can you believe it? I remember that song. Yeah, I love this city. Yeah, well, I'll put my hands up. Thanks, Fetty.

Yeah, so welcome to stage Fettie's on tonight. And Jess, have we talked about, Your cocktail, you do on a FedEx cocktail or anything like that? Yeah, like I'll bring it around to you on there. I can do it. I do recall that now. Yeah, I understand why you've forgotten because you've tried to wipe it from your brain. Also, it's really hard to concentrate when you're wearing that after.

That's exactly what I was saying. See, I can't hear what you're saying. I can't hear what you're saying. I know. Are you talking? I'm so sorry. Episode what now? It's like you guys have never seen titties before.

Man, I haven't. And this is not what I was picturing. They're hideous. What's going on? People like these? This? Are you sure? This can't be right.

Honestly, it's not worth the hype. How dare you? So we've got two inductees. They're very much worth the hype. Two inductees this work. This work. This work. We can't speak right now.

Now, I'm on the door. I'm going to hype them. I'm not going to hype them up. I'm going to read your name. If you hear your name, head on in. Dave's on stage. He's going to hype you up from stage. He's the MC of the night.

Obviously, stick around for Fetty LeGround afterwards. Dave's going to do a bit of weak word play to hype you up in brackets. Positive. I'm being positive. Now, Dave, are you ready to go? Absolutely. Here we go. Let's hype them up.

Two inductees this week from Baldivis in Western Australia. Perhaps that's how that's pronounced. It's B of B and E. That's B of Best and E. Yeah. But you look elegant as hell. But you're also the best. The best.

And from Hoven, Broughton in Great Britain, it's Lina. Lena would want to be you. Yeah. Teach us your ways, Lena. Yeah, I'm inspired by you. Yes. We want to be like you. You look incredible.

Be you. That is a great rhyme. Yes, it's difficult. Have you seen Eminem do videos about, hey, words don't have to rhyme to be able to make and rhyme? You're on that level. Oh, he's seen that video. Oh, yeah.

Orange, Gorge. storehenge have you said it or i think it's very funny he says real things but that's basically like orange they say you can't rhyme orange but you can orange you got a bend words orange storeange i mean uh agorhenge well you got to watch it for yourself but it's that good and maybe even better often you acting out a video is funny other than the video. Absolutely. I really did think that was going to come to me as I did it, but it did.

It's almost like he has some sort of talent that can't be denied. I assumed I had it. We have one last thing to do. And the last thing, welcome in Alina and B of B&E, and the last thing we have to do is welcome in someone into the TripTrip Titch Club. This is rare. This is the 11th inductee, which means they, and this is based on a suggestion by Martin, Great patron, they are the, what was the word he used?

The custodian of episode 11, which is the episode I did about the Back to the Future trilogy, where we first said about Sydney Shineberg. That's quite an honour then for this person. Now, Dave, how are we going to do this? I want to read out their place and name and then you give them a salute and Jess gives them a kiss. We'll give him a little compliment as well. Yes, and then I'll give them a little certificate that says they are the custodian of episode 11. All right.

And of course, they can watch the salute on the video because they've got access to the video. That's true. All right. So I'm so excited to welcome into the triple triptage club, meaning they've been on the shoutout level or above for nine straight years. Absolutely amazing. From Arlington in maybe Virginia in the United States, VA. Welcome into the club, Alex Boucher. Alex Bache, you are rarer than a unicorn.

Salute. Alex. Alex. And Alex, I just saw it just in case Alex backy. Maybe it's possible as well. I'm so happy to have you in here. Please enjoy this certificate. It's invisible, but you know what it says.

Huge. Congratulations. Welcome to the club, make yourself at home. Oh, that brings us the other episode. Jess is there anything we need to tell the people before we go? Oh, I know that we love them. If you want to suggest the topic, you can do that. There's a link in the show notes.

Don't forget to sign up to our tour mailing list so we know where in the world you are and we can come and tell you when we're coming there. Wherever we go, we always hear six months later, oh, you should come to Manchester. We were just in Manchester.

But this way you'll never miss out. And don't forget to sign up, go to our Instagram, click our link tree. Very, very easy. It means we know to come to you and you'll also know that we're coming to you. Yeah, we'll come to you. You come to us. Very good. And we give you a spam-free guarantee.
