The student pilot was instructed by his flight instructor to preflight the Cessna 172R airplane and then wait for the instructor before beginning the training flight. Witnesses stated that the student pilot proceeded to the airplane, removed the wing tie-downs, boarded the airplane, started the engine, and immediately taxied to runway 35R without the flight instructor The student pilot then took off from the runway without communicating with the airport Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower. The tower controllers stated that the airplane turned to the right and headed toward the southeast immediately after takeoff. No transponder signal was received from the airplane. The tower controllers notified Tampa ATC approach controllers, and they also notified the pilots of a Coast Guard helicopter that was flying in the local area. Additionally, the controllers made numerous attempts to contact the pilot by emergency radio frequency, but were unsuccessful. The Coast Guard helicopter pilots were asked to intercept the airplane. The airplane proceeded to a local Air Force military base and over flew the base control tower, two aircraft, and three hangars at a low altitude. The airplane was then observed to alter its heading toward a tall office building in the city of Tampa. While en route to the building, the Coast Guard helicopter pilots intercepted the airplane and attempted to signal the pilot to land. According to the helicopter pilots, the student pilot saw their hand gestures and gestured back to them; however, the helicopter pilots could not determine the kind and meaning of the gestures that the student pilot exhibited. Shortly thereafter, the airplane impacted the office building at the 28th-floor level. An examination of the airframe, systems, and engine did not reveal any evidence of preimpact mechanical malfunction. No indications of ethanol or drugs were found in specimens taken from the student pilot. A 2-page suicide note was found on the student pilot’s person.

On the evening of January 24th, 2024, the student pilot of Cessna 172SP N23107 (Careertrack 655) told KADS Tower that he was "not going to listen to KADS Tower 's instructions", was "heading to east Texas" and would "pull the com 1 circuit breaker and com 2 circuit breaker as soon as [he] un keys the mic". The aircraft's ADS-B track shows a departure from KADS towards the east. The aircraft turned north over Sulphur Springs, Texas, and then towards the northwest once over Paris, Texas. The aircraft last reported a vertical decent of -4736ft/min, impacting the ground south of the Red River.
The pilot died and the aircraft was destroyed.

    @1:13 He says on the radio "15 year old" No need for a questionmark after the 15 with the subtitles.

    Funny enough everyone at my school thought this was me. No joke, I lived in the area, but there were actual looks of shock on their face when I walked in the next day. Still don't know why they thought I would do this.

    Florida Man loses touch with reality, and his life.

    gotta admire the controller for his exceptional "listening skills". Pilot said he's pulling the circuit breakers as soon as he unkeys the mike (clearly audible) and controller does nothing only keeps trying to contact him

    Im pretty sure even if it's a self affiliation he claims he's done this on behalf of terrorists, that makes him a terrorist not suicidal. How tf did they come to that conclusion
