Joseph David Emerson allegedly claimed he pulled two emergency handles because he thought he was “dreaming” and just wanted to wake up.

He was off duty. Tripping in a cockpit would be awesome as a mere spectator but this was irresponsible of both him and the pilot (if the shroom state was known).

Right right, not flying it, but yeah. He also hadn’t slept in 40 hours? Sounds like this guy needed a break.
