A 23-year-old man, Logan Timothy James, died in a crash after flying a stolen Cessna plane from a flight school in Texas.
He deliberately broke off communications and expressed ominous intentions before crashing.
James had recently earned his private pilot certificate and aspired to become a commercial airline pilot.

“About right now you’ll probably realize that I’m not going to listen to y’all’s instructions and I’m just heading to East Texas,” James said.
“I’m going to pull the comm one circuit breaker and the comm two circuit breaker right here soon, as soon as I unkey the mic,” James added.
“I’m climbing up through the clouds and then just gonna head outside of everything,” he said.
🙏🏻Please pray for the repose of the soul of Logan Timothy James who committed suicide on Jan 24 8pm CST in Texas.

“The accident investigation should hopefully answer a lot of those questions about why he got in there and probably interview anybody that he knew like parents, friends, that sort of thing,” retired Navy Capt. Armen Kurdian said.
The motives behind the incident will be investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board.
