Joe Emerson had been struggling over the death of his best friend, Scott, a pilot who died while on a run six years earlier. Emerson had been away for the weekend with friends, celebrating and remembering Scott.
…
On Friday night, the group took psychedelic mushrooms – a drug that can make you hallucinate and typically has effects that last a few hours. Emerson said that for him, the physical side effects lasted days, and the consequences a lifetime.
…
“There are two red handles in front of my face,” Emerson recalled. “And thinking that I was going to wake up, thinking this is my way to get out of this non-real reality, I reached up and I grabbed them, and I pulled the levers.”
Yeah, he kept the party going for sure. Good lord, I absolutely hate being on an airplane sober, but I have never thought “damn, if I was only hallucinating on psilocybin, this would be more pleasant.”
He was getting a free flight from his airline because he was a pilot.
Think it was a cargo plane so he was one of the only passengers. He freaked out, entered the cabin, and started trying to crash the plane. The actual pilots had to hit him with a wrench or something I think to stop him.
And he took them like 12 hours before the flight, this was at the “this is a dream I have to wake up” stage.
At least. That’s what I remember from one this happened, it’s been a minute

This sounds like the FedEx hijacking attempt, flight 705.
I love shrooms. They don’t last for days. That motherfucker just fucked up on the job. Probably due to lack of sleep from all that partying. That whole “inception” nonsense is a liiieeeee
