‘Someone else is trying to steer it’: Psychic posts plane crash prediction on October 27. What happens one week later is bone-chilling

A UPS cargo plane went down on November 4, 2025, right after taking off from Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport in Kentucky. The plane was supposed to fly to Honolulu when one of its engines fell off during takeoff. This caused the aircraft to crash into a nearby industrial area. Sadly, 14 people died in the accident. This included the three crew members flying the plane and 11 people who were on the ground. One of the victims was only three years old.

According to Bro Bible, after the crash happened, a TikTok user called Joseph Tittel started getting a lot of attention. Tittel calls himself a psychic medium and goes by the username @spiritmanj.t on the platform. He said he knew the crash was going to happen because he posted a video about it on October 27, 2025. That was exactly one week before the real accident took place. In his video, Tittel talked about seeing a vision of a plane crash that would happen soon.

Tittel’s video showed him describing what he claimed to see in his mind. He said the plane looked like it was coming down sideways and trying to land in an emergency situation. According to him, the aircraft seemed like it was “trying to go in between buildings or go in between something to avoid it.” He also said the plane would drop straight down and create a huge explosion. 

The prediction doesn’t really add up

Tittel also described something even stranger about the pilots, saying “it’s very strange, almost like someone else is trying to steer it, and then the pilots trying to get it to go straight, and someone’s trying to steer it sideways.”

When you look at what really happened during the UPS crash, things don’t match up with what Tittel said. People who saw the crash and recorded it on video clearly show the plane flying normally and straight, not sideways like Tittel claimed it would. 

The National Transportation Safety Board looked into the crash and found that the left engine broke away from the wing after a big fire started on that side of the plane. They also learned that the pilots tried their best to control the plane for around 25 seconds before it hit the ground. But there’s nothing showing that anyone was fighting over the controls or that this was some kind of hijacking, like Tittel suggested.

Tittel also talked about the plane dropping straight down in his prediction. But the actual video from the crash shows the plane stayed pretty level as it was going down. It only tipped over on its side after it already hit the ground, which is totally different from what he described. 

His claim that someone was stopping the pilot from flying straight also doesn’t match anything the investigators have found. This situation is similar to other times when people claiming to be psychics have made doubtful predictions that turned out to be wrong.

People on social media didn’t waste any time calling out the problems with Tittel’s prediction. A TikTok user with the name Samara12 wrote in the comments, “Except ups plane was taking off not landing and it didnt turn sideways or nose dive.” But not everyone was against Tittel. Some people still believed in him. Someone named Terry left a comment saying, “I had a reading by him in 2012 in Philadelphia. My reading was very good.”

The video Tittel posted on October 27 had a bunch of other predictions in it too, and most of them never happened. He said there would be a big accident at a hot air balloon show that would hurt three balloons. That never took place.

He even made wild claims about a space object called 3I/Atlas, saying it was actually a giant alien spaceship. Scientists have already said that’s not true and that it’s just a regular comet. Even though some people do believe in psychic abilities and having visions about the future, this specific prediction got almost all the important details wrong.

There’s something else worth thinking about here. When Tittel made his prediction, the news was full of stories about problems at airports. The federal government was in the middle of a shutdown, and there were reports everywhere about not having enough air traffic controllers and safety issues with airlines. 

So, guessing that something might go wrong with a plane during that time wasn’t exactly a huge leap. Anyone reading the news could have made a general prediction about aviation problems. The real investigation into what caused the UPS Flight 2976 crash is still going on.
