911 call from NC plane incident says ‘co-pilot jumped out of the aircraft’

A 911 call from federal officials released Tuesday indicates that a young co-pilot who died in an airplane emergency last week jumped from the plane.

“This is from Raleigh airport,” an unnamed Federal Aviation Administration official says on the 13-minute call.

“We have a pilot that was inbound to the field,” the official tells the dispatcher. “His co-pilot jumped out of the aircraft.”
