一 |     An off-duty pilot is charged with 83 counts of attempted murder after he allegedly tried to shut off the engines by pulling the fire extinguisher handles on an Alaska Airlines flight, according to officials.The plane was scheduled to fly from Everett, Washington, to San Francisco before it diverted late Sunday to Portland after a "credible security threat related to an authorized occupant in the flight deck jump seat," the airline confirmed to ABC News.The suspect allegedly tried to pull the fire extinguisher handles on the engines, preliminary information obtained by investigators indicated, according to a federal official briefed on the probe. The suspect was overwhelmed by flight crew and subdued and then handcuffed to a seat, the federal official told ABC News.The suspect, Joseph David Emerson, was taken into custody, the Port of Portland confirmed. Emerson is charged with 83 counts of attempted murder, according to the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office. He is also facing 83 counts of reckless endangerment, a misdemeanor, and one felony count of endangering an aircraft.The suspect was en route to San Francisco, where he was scheduled to be on a flight crew of a 737, the official said.Alaska Airlines said the off-duty pilot was sitting in the flight deck jump seat -- which is in the cockpit -- and "unsuccessfully attempted to disrupt the operation of the engines."The captain and first officer "quickly responded," Alaska said, adding engine power was not lost and the crew secured the aircraft without incident.There were 80 passengers and four crew members on the flight, according to Alaska.Passenger Aubrey Gavello told ABC News, "We didn't know anything was happening until the flight attendant got on the loudspeaker and made an announcement that there was an emergency situation and the plane needed to land immediately. … About 15 minutes later, she got back on and said that there was a medical emergency."Passenger Alex Wood said the pilot announced that "there was a disturbance in the cockpit."Gavello said she heard a flight attendant tell the suspect, "We're going to be fine, it's OK, we'll get you off the plane.""So I really thought it was a serious medical emergency," she said.Wood added, "It was very professional, handled very calmly, and we didn't really know what was going on until we landed."Once the plane landed, Wood said police went to the back of the plane and escorted a handcuffed man off the plane. He noted that the suspect "was wearing a lanyard, a sweater. Looked like an airline employee."Gavello said, "After we did land and the gentleman was escorted off, the flight attendant got back on the speaker and said, plain and simple, 'He had a mental breakdown. We needed to get him off the plane immediately.'"The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement to carriers that the incident is "not connected in any way shape or form to current world events."The event is being investigated by law enforcement, the airline said. The FBI confirmed it is looking into the incident and "can assure the traveling public there is no continuing threat related to this incident."Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said in a statement, "I am grateful for the professional flight crew and air traffic controllers who stepped up to guide this plane safely to Portland. FAA supports law enforcement in their response and will be focused on any safety considerations for the future that emerge from investigations."The pilots union Air Line Pilots Association, International in a statement praised the pilots and crew who safely landed the plane and said it's fully cooperating with authorities.The union added, "The airline pilot profession in North America is one of the most highly vetted and scrutinized careers, and for good reason. For decades, the United States has pioneered a proactive approach to improving aviation safety and maintaining a healthy work environment for pilots. In addition, U.S. pilots are continuously evaluated throughout their careers through training, medical exams, crew resource management, and programs such as the Line Operations Safety Audit, as well as by the airline and during random flight checks by the Federal Aviation Administration."。    거창군의회가 성명서를 통해 마리면에 추진 중인 건설폐기물 중간처리시설 건립 사업에 대해 불허가 처분을 집행부에 촉구했다. 거창군의회 제공 경남 거창군의회가 마리면 대동리에 추진 중인 건설폐기물 중간처리시설 건립 사업에 대해 즉각적인 철회와 불허가 처분을 집행부에 촉구했다.거창군의회는 성명서를 통해 “거창군 마리면 대동리 청정계곡 최상류에 추진 중인 건설폐기물 중간처리시설 건립 계획을 즉각 철회하고 불허가 처분할 것을 촉구했다”고 26일 밝혔다.군의회는 사업 예정지가 불과 200m 하류에 농업용 저수지가 있는 수계 최상류 지역이라는 점을 반대 이유로 들었다.특히 시설이 들어설 경우 침출수와 각종 오염물질이 하천으로 유입돼 하류 농경지는 물론 인근 친환경 인증 농지까지 오염·훼손될 가능성이 크다고 지적했다.주민들의 생존권과 안전에 대한 우려도 제기했다.군의회에 따르면 사업 예정지 반경 250m 이내에는 약 450마리 규모의 축산 농가가 있어 시설 운영에 따른 피해가 우려된다. 또한 고령 주민들의 건강권을 위협할 수 있는 데다 급경사 진입로를 이용하는 대형 차량으로 인한 교통사고 위험도 크다고 주장했다.논란이 되고 있는 건설폐기물 중간처리시설은 거창군 마리면 대동리 일대에 8,226㎡ 규모로 추진되고 있으며, 하루 720t의 폐콘크리트 등을 파쇄·선별하는 시설이다.거창군의회는 사업 예정지의 입지 여건과 환경·안전 문제 등을 종합적으로 고려해 집행부가 사업을 불허해야 한다는 입장이다.。
