00:00 A bizarre-turned-tragic incident unfolded on Wednesday at Addison in the US state of
00:07 Texas.
00:08 A man lost his life after stealing an airplane and crashing it near the Texas-Oklahoma border.
00:14 In a statement released by the Texas Department of Public Safety, a 23-year-old man named
00:20 Logan Timothy James from North Carolina, Stokestale, stole a Cessna 172 from the ATP Flight School
00:27 at Addison Airport, located just 15 miles north of downtown Dallas.
00:31 The unauthorized flight took a grim turn when the stolen plane crashed close to the Texas-Oklahoma
00:36 border.
00:37 A recording from the Air Traffic Control revealed a chilling conversation between the pilot
00:41 Logan Timothy James and the controllers.
00:43 James apparently indicated a deviation from their instructions and shared intentions to
00:48 head towards East Texas.
00:51 According to ATC recordings, as reported by NBC News, James said, "About right now, you
00:57 probably realize I'm not going to listen to y'all instructions and I'm just heading to
01:01 East Texas."
01:02 He further said, "I'm going to pull the COM-1 circuit breaker and the COM-2 circuit breaker
01:08 right here soon, as soon as I un-key the mic."
01:11 According to reports from NBC Dallas Fort Worth, the stolen plane was tracked flying
01:16 more than 80 miles northeast towards Paris, Texas, before the tragic crash occurred.
01:21 The National Transportation Safety Board, in collaboration with the Federal Aviation
01:25 Administration, has taken charge of the investigation.
01:28 Authorities have not confirmed whether the pilot radioed for help or declared an emergency
01:33 before the crash.
01:34 The plane, which departed from Addison Airport at 6.53 p.m., crashed around 8.26 p.m. local
01:39 time in an open field nine miles northeast of Telephone, Texas.
01:43 According to reports, James was the only person on board and there were no reports of injuries
01:47 or damage on the ground.
01:48 "I'm not going to listen to y'all instructions and I'm just heading to East Texas."
