a plane, a beechcraft turbo-prop, owned by a local doctor and took it over tupelo and flying around and around and around and flight tracker is keeping track of what he's up to. hope he hasn't been making good on his threat, but he's running out of fuel in the process. charles watson is in mississippi. >> neil, obviously, this is a developing situation we were here in jackson, mississippi covering the water crisis when we started seeing reports of a man flying low and a plane circling a walmart this morning. we were told from tube low police they started receiving reports this morning of the low-flying plane. people were concerned with what they saw so they decided to put a call in to police. we're told by police that that pilot later got into contact with police and threatened to

intentionally crash that plane into a walmart. about two hours later, we're then told the pilot moved out of the tupelo, mississippi air space and headed towards blue springs, mississippi where he began circling a toyota manufacturing plant and police are presumably trying to talk him down or talk him out of doing anything that would harm him for any innocent bystanders. meantime, the walmart in the tupelo area and other businesses evacuated out of abundance of caution and obviously they don't know what this individual is planning to do, if anything. we've heard that he has been putting in demands to police, what they are we're not sure of at this time. but again, businesses in the area, the walmart have evacuated these stores out of abundance of precaution. now, we're seeing reports that the man flying the plane is an employee of the tupelo regional

airport and possibly stole the small aircraft that's flying and we've heard from mississippi governor tate reeves on twitter who says he is aware of the situation. he sent out a tweet this morning saying state law enforcement and emergency managers are closely tracking this dangerous situation. all citizens should be on alert and aware of updates from the tupelo police department. again, the tupelo police department presumably in contact with this man, presumably trying to get him to land this plane before it runs out of fuel or before he possibly intentionally decides to fly it into a business or area where innocent bystanders are this morning. again, people in the tupelo area are asked to be aware and on alert, and listen to police and stay out of this area, as they work on this developing situation, neil. >> do we know, charles, this man's particular beef with

walmart, with that particular store? >> no, you know, not to my knowledge. i don't know what his beef is with walmart or the toyota manufacturing plant that he's said to be flying over. this sort of just came out of nowhere this morning. early this morning, people were just waking up and they see this-- people in tupelo, mississippi, they see this plane flying low and they say this is something they never saw before in this area and thought it was suspicious and decided to put calls in to police and that's how we end up with the situation the man demanding things and what he's demanding is unclear. a developing story, and developing situation that we hope it get more information from police and state and local officials and in the coming hours, neil. >> thank you very, very much for that, charles watson. a number of you from the tupelo area has been e-mailing me, one

resident, neil, we're outside looking up, all we're doing and praying. many echoing the same sentiment. they've left their homes and businesses out of abundance of cautious and thinking could it be us. we'll take it to the tube low area if and when we can, it's not an official read on what's going on in that area, but a lot of people rightly anxious as they should be and just coming outside their homes on what is otherwise a pretty clear day. no overcast and seeing if they can sight the plane. let's get a read from kyle daley on this, an aviation analyst. this beechcraft king air 90, a turbo-prop presumably stolen by this guy at the local airport where i'm told he worked as well, what do you know about it? could he be running out of fuel? this has been going on close to five hours, your thoughts. >> yeah, it's been a couple of hours and he's for certain very

low. this is a very complex airplane. this isn't a cessna. this is a turbo-prop and complicated to operate. since he is so low on fuel, if there was a problem and he did in fact crash that into a building or a structure, there probably would be a minimal explosion, being that the fuel on the airplane is basically almost exhausted. >> yeah, you hope that he didn't store anything else in that plane. we just don't know. but this plane, and now we're told he's flying erratically, who you talk to and others e-mailing me, doesn't look erratic to me he seems to be smooth in what he's doing. i don't know, but is it a hard plane to operate? >> you have to know what you're doing. it's a very expensive, complex airplane. it's similar to-- do you remember the regional aircraft back in the day on a turbo-prop on a smaller flight.

like the size of a small turbo plot airliner and it has jet engines and there is a propeller on there, it's a complex airplane. he no doubt is a pilot because to know how to start those engines and operate that airplane and to fly it the way he's flying it, he has to do what he's doing so my assumption is, he actually is probably a fairly experienced pilot who knows that airplane. >> now, we're told that he's in and out of communication with local authorities calling 911 so maybe they're trying to bring him down a bit emotionally and bring the plane down safely, positively, but what do you read into that it's been going on for so long? >> yeah, basically, everybody, it's a waiting game. nothing anybody can do on the ground or the air. there's no way to take the plane out of the sky or something of that nature because it's a smaller aircraft, but it's basically from here, just a waiting game

until he runs out of fuel and hopefully that airplane does not crash into a structure or a building. hopefully, you know, whatever happens will happen in a wooded area, you know, away from the population. >> all right. thank you so much for helping us out to understand what's going on here. i appreciate it. kyle bailey an aviation analyst from new jersey. hopefully it will end well with no one hurt and everything calms down and we'll keep an eye on it. this is happening on the back drop of the labored weekend when a lot of folks are flying out to their destinations and some having difficulty doing so. christina coleman with the latest from los angeles international airport, christina. >> hi, neil, yeah, we're live outside of lax, one of the busiest airports this holiday weekend. travel is up 22% compared to to this time last year. the prices are up as well, online travel agency hopper shows labor day weekend air fare is averaging $278 round

trip. that's up 23% compared to this time last year. and still, more than 12.7 million passengers are expected to fly over the weekend, including 10.8 million travelling domestically and another 1.8 million travelling internationally. now, this surge in air travel this weekend is a big test for u.s. airlines as far as their operations are concerned. flight aware shows that as of right now, more than 9,000 flights have been delayed so far today. and more than 2100 have been canceled. this adds to months of travel headaches. this year alone, 2.6% of all flights, 146,000 flights have been canceled and nearly 1.3 million have been delayed according to flight aware. the delays are up 25% compared to the same period in 2019. airline staff out due to covid and disruptions in staffing are some of the reasons for these ongoing problems, and also, thousands of pilots have been picketing throughout the year.

fighting for an increase in pay and schedule changes. here in l.a., delta airlines pilots have been picketing outside of lax, a delay to the contract negotiations that began earlier this year. >> we've got pilots with a lot of overtime and they're fatiguing and we're trying to get scheduling changes as well. >> as for those who are choosing not to fly, the roads are expected to be busy this holiday weekend, especially since gas prices are down by about 20%, compared to earlier this summer. neil. >> christina, thank you very much for that. christina coleman. the guy who runs frontier airlines, barry, good to see you, thank you for coming. i see a lot of demand for your

planes and get in there and have fun and there have been consolations on frontier and that's what happens. how do you think it's been going? >> i think this summer has been challenging. in frontier's case we're having one of the best summers we've had. in august we canceled less than 1% of our flights. i think there are big differences among these carriers, make sure you understand who you're flying. >> the new policies, i don't know whether frontier signed onto them. i don't know what they were in the past, if your plane is canceled they'll try to get you into another one, the next day, a hotel, meal vouchers, that sort of thing. what are the negatives. it sound like there's an industry-wide effort to make that standard policy. >> i don't know that there's been that many changes. i think what the dot is trying to do, what happens, what you're entitled to if there's a

disruption. the big focus is who is having the cancellation. we've had less than 1% and some carriers have three times that. and let's focus on getting there rather than if we cancel the flight. >> what if it's canceled for weather. you can't control that. >> no. >> if it's canceled for a crew that doesn't show up or mechanical problems, how do you handle that? >> that's important distinction. today, for example, we have one trip canceled that has to do with weather down in the caribbean. if we're responsible, then we take a lot more responsibility. you know, we'll give you a hotel night, we'll book you on the next available flight or give you a refund. so, yeah, it's a completely different situation if we have what's called a controllable versus uncontrollable. >> now, we talked about this weekend, but into the fall, how do things look? >> i think things look pretty good. if you go back over the year, in our case, you know, the number one challenge that we've

had disruption-wise is air traffic control in specific jacksonville center and i think the f.a.a. has done a great job, marshalling the resources that they need and i understand that they're getting that back. and the second big issue is airport gate management and how they optimize and fairly allocate the dates and dedicated. i think there's some tracks traction and they're understanding that. >> a bids i weekend, big crowds, but so far not overly big problems. again, some delays and cancellations we'll keep you posted and we'll keep you posted on the guy flying around and we don't know his intentions, we know for the better part of four hours this is what he's been doing, flying sometimes haplessly over the skies of tupelo, others saying not at all. although a good many of you e-mailing from the air and there are times he looks

erratic and a lot of time smooth as silk, we don't know what he's up to. a good many are outside their homes looking up wondering, and worrying and no doubt praying. stay with us.

flying over tupelo, mississippi he has been doing for at least five hours now central standard time in mississippi where this started this morning when hopped on a plane that didn't belong to him and just took off. immediately called 911 and let them know of his intentions that he wanted to crash it into a local walmart and authorities heard that and said it would be a good idea to evacuate that local walmart. they did, it never happened and closed and shuttered since. there are others in the area that are told to just be careful, that use an abundance of caution and everything will be all right. i want to try to get a sense of what's going on here. sam joins us, an aviation expert. we don't know, a lot, sam outside of what we've been mentioning, the aircraft in question, one that should supposedly be running out of fuel soon. what do you make of this? >> depending how much fuel he had when he started, that will

determine, obviously, how much he has left if any. what i'm will thing-- what i'm noticing him now on the track, he's now at 900 feet which is low for that airplane. and the flight path two things notable. one is there's some weather coming from the northwest, so that may be something that will limit where he can fly because he probably is not instrument rated. and number two some of the maneuvers he's making are so sharp and so tight, most pilots would not want to make those types of maneuvers. obviously, we don't know his state of mind so he may not be so worried about his safety at this point. neil: what intrigued me the most and i do hope and pray it ends well. if he was indeed an employee from the local airport from which he took this vehicle, that in and of itself that he's

able to do that. he has an advantage, he works there, but that's the sort of things you worry about that people get their hands on planes they don't own, they don't have, they steal. >> absolutely right. you and i both covered one in seattle. neil: i remember it well. >> and so do i, and those kind of things just can't be avoided. you're trusting these employees to do the right thing with the airplane, but clearly he has some operational knowledge of that airplane. it's a jet plane with propellers on it, but nevertheless, a jet engine and you have to know how to start that, how to feed the fuel into it, how to start the ignition. there's much more to this than just turning a key like you would in a car. neil: a lot of people, you think about, the seattle incident there, a lot of people don't worry if it's not a big commercial plane and we've done everything we can to avoid a sort of thing again since 9/11, but it doesn't minimize the

risk with small planes and different set of rules for them. but this guy, obviously, had easy access to that. that is the one thing that, you know, just shows you a weak link in our system here. >> well, it does and it doesn't. most small planes and this is a little larger than a typical small airplane. most small planes can do limited damage anywhere they would-- whether they were intentional or not because they're so light. less than 2000 pounds usually, something in that area. here you're talking about an aircraft with a maximum takeoff wait of 10,000 pounds that can carry seven people, usually five passengers and two crew so it's a little bigger than-- you know, typically used for corporate and business travel and it's a little bigger than a small airplane and certainly, most of these planes are secure just by their complexity, again, here is a guy who had

some access to that aircraft, probably saw it many times, a pilot or not. probably saw the start-up. neil: you mentioned this guy is flying as low as 900 feet and keeping track of it on flight tracker and a number of residents hard to verify what they're saying, a woman said when i saw it, it was a heck of a lot lower than 900 feet. that would include some erratic nature. others telling i'm no pilot no expert as you are, but flying in control, but it's the erratic part and getting down really, really low part that obviously makes you anxious. >> and that's consistent with his horizontal plane that i'm watching. some of the turns are nice and smooth as a pilot would make. some are very, very sharp where we would never want to make

that. it increases what we call our stall speed, which is the speed at which an airplane really can't fly anymore. and he's done a few of those in this track over the last period of time. he's right now flying fairly straight and level. but those small, very sharp turns, those are the ones that worry me. neil: sal, another question as well. the walmart in question that he was supposedly targeted. we don't know his connection or beef with that particular walmart was evacuated. should other businesses in the area also be evacuated? home owners? they're told to be abundantly cautious and heard for quite a few are ending it the same way, looking up, we're outside in our back yard or front yard, what have you. what do you tell them. >> unless he's very skilled, he probably would have trouble hitting his target. so, if he intngs--

intentionally wanted to put the plane into a certain building, i would the know want to be nearby. it doesn't look like he's totally proficient and that would worry me more than if he were. neil: sal, we hate to keep meeting with these incidents, but appreciate the time when you give us your expertise. and sal lagonia. and before i get to that, for those who want to see if this is when the artemis goes, but nasa scrubbed it, another fuel leak. we know that it's been scrapped and no indication when they might try for this. now back to this incident in question with this guy flying, some say haplessly around the tupelo, mississippi area and others say not so, but he's been doing it now for quite a few hours and i'm trying to get

a handle on this, 5 a.m. mississippi time, 6 a.m. east coast time for looks likes about 5 1/2 hours, thereabout that he's been flying there. some saying erratic, others smoothly, and some say 900 feet and some say lower and out of sight. and charles watson from jackson, mississippi. do we have any more updated information? >> no, neil. what we know right now is that this man in this plane continues to fly erratically over northeast mississippi. you know, police told us this morning, as you mentioned, this report started coming in around 5:00 this morning from people who were extremely concerned at this low flying plane. folks in the area saying, look, we've never seen anything like this before in the tupelo area. let's call police to alert them to what's going on, and that is when police say they began

getting phone calls from this gentleman in the plane. reportedly threatening to intentionally crash the plane into a walmart. if his demands were not met. what his demands are, we're not clear about that yet. we've been reaching out to police to try to get more details about this story, what this guy is looking for, and what his end game is here. but, out of abundance of precaution, the walmart decided to evacuate that store and we've been seeing on social media, people saying that their parents or families, neighborhoods have been evacuated and we have not won confirmed that with police, but we know that two hours after that man got into contact with police and those reports started coming in, he started to move northeast to blue springs, mississippi where he's said to have been flying over a

toyota manufacturing plant. it's not clear what walmart or toyota has to do with this gentleman, if he has had a beef or something like that with these companies, but those are the areas he's apparently decided to target this morning. we've also learned that this gentleman is reportedly an employee of the tupelo regional airport and that he may have stole that plane that he's currently flying in. now, mississippi governor tate reeves said that he is aware of the situation. obviously, the governor is stationed here in jackson where he's been monitoring and trying to fix up the water crisis this morning. now, he has this situation on his hands. he sent out a tweet this morning saying that state, law enforcement and emergency managers are closely tracking this dangerous situation. he's asking all citizens to be aware and alert of updates from tupelo police department. but, neil, you have to feel for

the folks who live in the tupelo area, especially near that walmart or near blue springs, mississippi because you hear about this low flying plane and this guy flying erratically and you just don't know what exactly he's going to do. so, folks have to be on edge this morning as you know, police try to work out this situation, neil. >> all right, charles, thank you very much. charles watson on this. we're learning a little bit more about the sort of tik tok on all of this, as i said, it started at 5 a.m. local mississippi time. this individual who doesn't own this plane, it's owned by a local doctor, you know, got the plane out, was able to get on the runway and then take off. we don't know how quickly he did so. he stole this plane and presumably worked at the airport and obviously didn't catch too many people's attention. soon after that, he was calling 911 letting them know exactly what he was up to.

they were on the phone with him for some time, or communicating with him for some time and on and off we're told, right newspaper now, we don't know and cannot confirm all of that, but we know that he could be running out of fuel in this beechcraft vehicle that it's in. a beechcraft air 90 turbo-prop, depending on speed and whereabouts in condition up to five hours. he's up to that limit and we're told by a number of pilots depending on the conditions and if you're relatively low and you're flying like this, presumably go a lot longer. we'll keep an eye on it if we keep reporting. his goal is or was to crash into a local walmart. again, his beef with that walmart anyone's guess and residents have taken precautions and moved outside of their home. and tupelo is a fairly large area in and of itself.

there are three surrounding walmarts within 20 miles and retailers gravitate to where there's a population center or spread out. we're going to get an update on this, and get the read from a former supervisory agent because the story here that's the most intriguing and perhaps the most worrying is the fact that this individual stole this plane. and is doing this right now. how he did that after this. as someone living with type 2 diabetes, i want to keep it real

and talk about some risks. with type 2 diabetes you have up to 4 times greater risk of stroke, heart attack, or death. even at your a1c goal, you're still at risk ...which if ignored could bring you here... ...may put you in one of those... ...or even worse. too much? that's the point. get real about your risks and do something about it. talk to your health care provider about ways to lower your risk of stroke, heart attack, or death. learn more at getrealaboutdiabetes.com

>> all right. that small plane we've been telling you about and tracking has apparently crash landed, crash landed, i should say in ashland, mississippi. it looks like ashland is about 60 miles north of tupelo, mississippi. we don't know much more than that, for those of you tuning in. this drama began at 5 a.m. mississippi time and ended just about five minutes ago with a guy who was able to steal a plane out of the tupelo, texas airport hangar set to get in it and off on the runway without immediate clearance to do so and triggered a 911 communication where he informed authorities he wanted to crash into a local walmart. he didn't crash it into a local walmart, but crash landed in ashland, mississippi.

we don't know if it was by design or on its own, running out of fuel. it appears to be over and we don't know who or what might have been affected when he did crash in ashland. we're efforting pictures or images from the area, people of the area, if you're there and you want to communicate with me, feel free as the beautiful folks in tupelo have who were looking up for a good deal of time. the dramatic that ended there, ended 60-- there's a perspective on this. you know, john, i was thinking about what you said when you last appeared how he might be running out of fuel and doing the tik tok on it, given the timing of it, this crash landing seems to come around the time you would have suspected he would be out of fuel. what do you think of this? >> right, that model of king air holds about 380 gallons of fuel and are' burning about, close to 100 gallons an hour,

depending on, you know, how hard you're pushing the engine. i figured he would be close to the would be to the bottom of the tank and i'm guessing that's what happened and glided it a landing and what kind of a landing. neil: it would have been a crash landing, and that could happen, you run out of fuel, you run out of fuel. he was clearly aware of that so we don't know the circumstances behind it, but this range for the tupelo range, others, i understand about 45 miles south of tupelo, it seen him as well. he seemed to be flying fairly low throughout a good deal of this, john. what does that make of it, does that burn faster sm obviously it makes people more anxious. >> yeah, it does burn fuel faster. it's a turbo-prop, and it's a

jet engine. and jet engines are efficient up high. why he wanted to stay down low, who knows. i suspect he didn't have much experience as a pilot and liked to stay close to the ground and you know, familiar landmarks that he could orient himself with that. i'm just guessing. neil: jon, he worked at the airport and maybe no one expected, we're getting disparate reports that he took off quickly and might have triggered the 911 conversations or 911 reaching him, but the part where he was able to steal a plane, easier, i guess, when you work at that airport and no one thinks anything of it, but that's a little worrisome. >> right, yeah, and you know, i

believe it was you who told me earlier that the plane belongs to local doctor. neil: yes. >> so, it may-- like kids who steal cars, look for one who has the keys in it. you don't necessarily need the keys to start a particular kind ever airplane, but if thetor-- the door was unlocked he might have been able to get in and start it with not much problem. neil: and this idea and these are sporadic cases where the small plane is involved with an incident and seized and you hope it ends well, and not as dramatic as the commercial jets as we remember as we come up to another tragic anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. they're a different mix, but dangerous when involved in something like this. >> oh, sure, and again, the good news is, if he had any

fuel left at all, he didn't have much because a crash landing in that kind of plane, you know, he didn't have the ability to put it down on its landing gear, you know, on a runway or something reasonably level, the impact and the post crash fire would have been enormous. so, let's hope that the tanks were dry and, you know, if there was some kind of, you know, terrible impact, when he went down, there's probably no fire because of the limited amount of fuel that would have been left in the tanks. neil: all right. jon, thank you very very much for that. jon scott. we're learning a little bit more about the crash and now, reports that the pilot, the suspect is in custody. that he survived it. charles watson in jackson, mississippi with more on that part of the story. charles. >> yeah, neil, we just got off

the phone with the bitten county sheriff's office who confirmed that the suspect is in custody and that that plane went down in a county northeast mississippi, again, that suspect is in custody. we've been seeing videos all over social media of what appears to be the plane that the gentleman was flying around for several hours, it looks as if it landed in a field, maybe someone's farm, farmland that he landed in. the plane, you can't visibly see it in the images we've been able to see on twitter, but it doesn't appear that it crashed into the ground. it appears that it just landed and the suspect is in custody now in county and end a five-hour sort of a developing chase for police in the sky of this gentleman who was flying around over northeast mississippi for hours and hours, certainly scaring people

who live in that neighborhood and threatening to intentionally crash into a walmart. he then moved on to blue springs, mississippi said it would have been circling a toyota manufacturer. not clear what this gentleman, you know, wanted or what his beef is, what with the walmart or toyota, but police have been in contact with him throughout the entirety of this ordeal, presumably trying to take him down. so, they could make sure that folks in the area were safe. obviously, that part of mississippi is very rural, but there are still people who live there and who saw this gentleman and reported this low flying plane to police early this morning because ne w they were concerned. they'd never seen anything like that in the area. the reports that this man works at the tupelo regional airport and just hopped in this plane and reportedly --.

neil: all right, we lost connection there, but that's an interesting development. he crash landed or landed and survived that. we know that in the local ashland area, it is a spread out rural area. 492 by the latest census count. i believe charles is back with us right now. cha charles. >> yeah, now, i was just saying after five hours, this ordeal ends with presumably no injuries. we don't know the condition of the suspect, but he's in police custody and we got that confirmed a few minutes ago. obviously, we'll be looking for updates for police later on today to try to figure out what the gentleman was doing, what was his motive in flying around and threatening to crash into buildings. certainly a scary situation for folks who live in that area, but we're told that it has come to an end, neil.

neil: do we know, charles, did he walk away from the plane. was he able to land it safely? when you hear crash landing, it could mean the desperate car or the plane that was destroyed. do we know anything about that. >> no, neil, we didn't get any updates on this gentleman's condition. what we can see from social media does look like the plane did land properly, i mean, you can't see the image clearly, it's from a distance in a field. so, all of the details about the plane are not clear to naked eye. it could have been a crash landing, we can only see one side of the plane from the images we're seeing. not clear what the condition of the plane is or that gentleman, but again, he's in police custody and hopefully we'll be able to get more details shortly. neil: thank you, my friend. charles watson, so this ends without tragedy here, what a day, we're talking something that started with a threat to

crash into a local walmart, ends 60 miles north in a small rural town with under 500 people and they're all safe, we're told and he is in custody. now the questions again. how the hell did all of this happen? stay with us. the groom's parents? they just found out they can redeem rewards for a second honeymoon. romance is in the air. like these two. he's realizing he's in love. and that his dating app just went up. must be fate. and phil. he forgot a gift, so he's sending the happy couple some money. digital tools so impressive, you just can't stop banking. what would you like the power to do?

>> all right. the panic is over, the drama is over, now the questions begin. now, this gentleman who for some reason took it upon himself to steal a plane out of tube tupelo, mississippi, private airport, safely crashed into a soy bean field in ashland, mississippi, i'm told about 60 miles north of tupelo, mississippi. i say crash landed, but doesn't look like he crashed, looks like folks on the site, it's sitting wheels down in the soy bean field.

no one else was injured or hurt. we're not getting confirmation, and that's a relief to hear. so many have been updating me and kindly updating what they've been seeing, donna who knows this particular plane well and tells this king air 90 is a plane in training for the military as well, says that her military son teaches this plane in corpus christi, and wondering if the pilot in question had military experience, a very, very good question, donna, we'll pursue that as will jack, who as a former supervisory agent and trying to piece these together. >> tell you, neil, this is one of those scenarios we unfortunately forgeted after 9/11, in a post-9/11 world. obviously when 9/11 happened there was uncertainty when that had happened after the crashes into the pentagon and pennsylvania and the world

trade, but we still believed there might haven about planes in the air still, as in post-9/11 during our investigation, this was always a concern of ours, somebody getting a plane like that, loading it up as much as you can with fuel, and obviously, this situation it may have been different, i'm sure during the 911 call, there were negotiators with the pilot and trying to talk him down and looks like they successfully did, but now the investigation begins. we're going to have to find out everything about this guy. neil: you know, we still don't know whether this was something that he did voluntarily or forced to. he was quickly running out of fuel, regardless, he did land this thing. so, the crash landing, i'm told pilots e-mailing me, a crash landing doesn't mean it's a disaster, you crashed and landed, but the plane can be fine and in great shape and excuse my ignorance to you pilots out there.

jack, i wanted to get a sense of how easy it was for him to steal this plane in the first place. he worked there so maybe he didn't raise any eyebrows, but there are a lot of, you know, small airports and the like around the country. now, you wonder about those with nefarious intentions and about what they could do. >> yeah, you know, neil, you're right, and the fact that he had access to it like that, it's a little alarming, but it just goes to show you this can happen anywhere, it doesn't have to happen in new york, l.a., washington, the big cities. this is tupelo, mississippi and this guy was able to getting onto a plane and easily access to. unfortunately, you're right, and he probably did not raise a lot of eyebrows,s' worked there and known to be there -- and i heard one of your pilots say earlier only takes a couple of seconds for a plane that's open

and start up and get it up. and i'm not a pilot, but a lot of my friends are former military pilots that i worked with at fbi, and you know, they've told me, you know, it's not that hard. it's really not. and this guy obviously had some type of training. i'm not saying he was a trained pilot and i agree with the assessments of some of the experts that he probably wasn't really trained, but he had enough to get off the ground and he had enough to circle and he had enough training and knowledge to put that plane down, as you said, you know, maybe a crash landing that was more controlled crash landing when he came down. so, it's interesting that he had to have some kind of knowledge. most people can't just get in the plane and take off and landing in a circle. so, and that's just my experience with this. i mean, the-- what's troubling is who is this

guy? is this a sole event or an event that happened, you know, in conjunction with maybe other people. neil: you're quite right, there are a lot of questions, probably more after the fact, how he was able to steal the plane in the first place and immediately take off. obviously, that did set off alarms to your point at the local airport and then authorities elsewhere immediately putting out these warnings, but there were sequence events in the beginning that caught many, many people off guard for this and again, this one was resolved peacefully. we don't know the pilot's condition right now, that he is in custody, don't know much more than that or why he did this in the first place or what his beef was with the walmart or local area, the irony it ended 60 miles north of where he wanted to be in the end, but it's over and now, the questions begin. all right, now we move onto the other big story today, something that had grander intentions. artemis to lift off today to

return to the moon over half a century. it won't be today. jonathan serrie on what scrubbed it and what's happening now? >> hi, neil, they detected a hydrogen leak while fueling the rocket this morning and not able to resolve it in a timely fashion so they went ahead and called off the launch attempt today. the countdown clock behind me frozen at t-minus two hours and 28 minutes. the next possible time that they will have to launch will be on monday. if they don't launch on monday, they could also launch on tuesday with the caveat they can only do that if the rocket has not been fueled up on monday. we're waiting to hear more from nasa officials as we go into the afternoon, but they wanted to err on the side of caution, detecting this hydrogen leak

during the fuel process. and so, artemis one remains on the pad for at least another couple days, neil. neil: you know, jonathan, you give it another shot, i get that and you had hundreds of thousands of folks though gather along the coast to watch this sort of thing and causing a devil of a traffic jam as a lot of these things do. what's remarkable, this is an unmanned mission and recurser to banned missions. i don't think we've seen that for unmanned missions and that alone tells you how thirsty and hungry americans are to get back big in space. >> yeah, people are really excited about this, and you know, they say that the advice is if you are coming to florida to watch a rocket launch, you're best to plan a weak vacation, and then catch a launch sometime in between that period there. but the people keep coming back. there is a lot of excitement, even though this is an unmanned launch because if it's successful, if they get this rocket into space and the

capsule safely returns to earth, 37-42 days later, on the very next artemis mission, they will be sending astronauts around the moon and then after that, landing back on the surface of the moon, with the intent of setting up a more long-term presence there, not just exploring for a few days and returning to earth, but really setting up infrastructure and ultimately, converting the moon into a mission to mars. people see this as america's return to deep space exploration, neil. neil: i can tell you giving your expense report. i have to stay for a couple of days, and we're keeping is eye on that, jonathan serrie. maybe, maybe on monday. in the meantime we're getting the landing of this plane in question that was kind of scaring the south and pretty much of the world. let's give this a quick look.

and that's a soy bean field, i'm told and any sound with it, guys? >> hit the ground and it doesn't appear there's any violence or anything, it looks like he's just --. neil: okay, you can see that as well as i can and probably better because a lot of you have great eyesight and mine is not that great, but looks like this safely landed whether you call that crash landing. pilots are telling me if you're landing under arduous circumstances, and we don't know the status right now. no one was impacted outside of maybe some soy bean crops along the way. if that's the worst of it i'm sure people in ashland, mississippi area, to say nothing about folks south in tupelo, they can live with that, they're happy with that, but on another calm day when you go about your life hoping to have a great weekend. you get news like this to start

it, at least you're relieved when you get news like this to keep it going. again, another reminder about how life can be fickle and events can change and all of a sudden, you're doing your own thing, and then you start looking up in the sky and hoping and praying and in this case, your prayers are answered. that will do it, fox continues. o enjoy all the fall things, without worrying about affording all the things. so, we promise to have your back, if you just promise to take in the fall colors. seasons change, but our lowe's price promise is everyday. shop fall at lowe's today. hi, i'm karen. i lost 41 pounds with golo and i've kept it off for a full year. i've been dieting for decades. with golo, i can enjoy my life. i don't feel like i'm restricted, i feel like i'm just living my life.
