Ex-Alaska Airlines pilot who forced emergency landing while on mushrooms pleads guilty

A former Alaska Airlines pilot accused of trying to cut the engines on a plane mid-air has reached a plea agreement in both federal and state court. Joseph Emerson expressed remorse in the Multnomah County courtroom for the October 23, 2023 incident on a flight from Everett, Washington to San Francisco. Investigators say Emerson was riding in an extra seat in the cockpit when he grabbed two red handles that would have activated the plane's fire suppression system, cutting off fuel to the plane's engines. The plane was diverted to the Portland International Airport, where it landed safely with more than 80 passengers on board. Emerson entered a plea of no contest to one count of recklessly endangering an aircraft in the first degree, and 83 counts of recklessly endangering another person.
