Disaster (Update: pilot in custody) Pilot threatens to crash small plane into Mississippi Walmart


Sept 3 (Reuters) - The pilot of a small plane has threatened to intentionally crash into a Walmart in Mississippi, local police said on Saturday, leading to an evacuation of the store.

The police department in Tupelo, Mississippi said they were notified about the situation earlier on Saturday and had been talking directly to the pilot.

"With the mobility of an airplane of that type the danger zone is much larger than even Tupelo," the police said in a statement on Facebook.


They added that Walmart (WMT.N) and a gas station had been evacuated and people had been dispersed.

Social media videos, which Reuters could not immediately verify, appeared to show a small plane flying in circles at a low altitude.

The Daily Journal said the pilot worked at the Tupelo regional airport and the plane was currently flying near a Toyota (7203.T) plant.

The guy is doing circles above it right now, at least Sky King just did his thing in the middle of nowhere.

So what you’re saying is rich assholes could cause a lot of damage and the government won’t do anything? Typical.

It wouldn't be a lot of damage, is the thing. If it was a threat they'd do something. Like killdozer or the guy who stole a tank in the 90s.

Why bother scrambling the army when he's going to kill at most like 5 people, maybe more if he bullseyes a bus or something.

You also run into the fact that it's functionally impossible for military's jets to intercept some light civilian aircraft at all... because to engage them, they'd have to slow down to the point they stall and fall out of the sky....

I wonder if a man-pad would be cheaper. And easier too.

Sorry, all our manpads are in Kiev. Jokes aside, how often do you think the Mississippi National Guard train on using manpads?

By the way, There are a lot of misinformation going around by several libtards on Twitter about the pilot's background stating that he's a white nationalist and Trump supporter named "raging" Rob Kinnison, To no surprise so many people believe it. This has been shot down by several verified accounts too asking people to stop posting about it as a fact.

Cory Patterson may definitely be the person of interest here though based off of confirmed reports and his Facebook activity.
