This Innocent Guy Stole A Giant Airplane

How does an airport baggage handler end up at the controls of a commercial airplane? Ali Koca's "This Innocent Guy Stole A Giant Airplane" revisits a 2018 unauthorized flight that ended in the handler's death.

Koca recounts air traffic controllers trying to establish the man's intentions, followed by military jets escorting the aircraft and appeals for him to land safely. In Koca's telling, the man reassures controllers that he means no harm, but later says he does not know how to land.

The account ends with his death in the crash, with nobody else harmed. Koca contrasts the conversations during the flight with the shock of people who knew the baggage handler as an ordinary, well-liked colleague and family man.

The Short has drawn an unusually fast audience for the channel, and its comments have already exceeded three times the usual full-day total. Alongside requests for details omitted from the retelling, viewers are discussing how difficult it can be to recognize another person's emotional distress.
