When news broke in Oct. 2023 that an off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot was accused of trying to cut the engines of a plane mid-flight, forcing it to make an emergency landing at Portland International Airport, reactions came quickly.

What kind of crazy person would do such a thing. Who would endanger the lives of more than 80 people on board? When it was reported by The Oregonian/OregonLive and other sources that the accused, Joseph Emerson, told investigators that he had taken “magic mushrooms” 48 hours before the incident, the story only seemed to get stranger.

Featuring interviews with Emerson, his wife, aviation and medical experts, and more, Lie To Fly explores how pilots are often reluctant to seek diagnoses and treatment for mental health issues, due to regulations that may prevent them from flying, and making a living.
