something strange about this story.
pilot makes a hard landing and damages landing gear, goes back into the air instead of finishing the landing, loses wheel - and then the co-pilot jumps to his death?
i'm listening to the cockpit audio right now and the co-pilot has not jumped yet.
Man dies after exiting plane midair before emergency landing in North Carolina
The body of a man who either fell or jumped from a cargo plane before it was forced to make an emergency landing at a North Carolina airport has been recovered.
Two people were onboard the CASA C-212 Aviocar when it started to experience technical difficulties on Friday. By the time it skidded into Raleigh–Durham International Airport at around 2:40 p.m., only the pilot was still on the plane. He told authorities that the second person aboard, 23-year-old Charles Hew Crooks, jumped out before the shaky landing attempt, WRAL reported.

The spanish made CASA C-212 Aviocar has traditionally been the favorite aircraft of the CIA, SOCOM and Narcos. I won't say anything else.
