A 23-year-old co-pilot either jumped or fell to his death during an emergency landing in North Carolina.
An emergency landing at the Raleigh-Durham International Airport was the only option for a small plane in North Carolina when it suffered landing gear issues Friday afternoon. But, tragically, it lost one of its co-pilots along the way.
While it’s unclear whether he may have jumped or fell, the body of Charles Hew Crooks, 23, was recovered Friday evening behind a home in Faquay-Varina after a widespread, frantic search. The other passenger, another co-pilot, was taken to a local hospital, authorities said.

Democrats bareknuckle Green Party off North Carolina ballotA day after Connor Harney received anonymous text messages asking him to retract his signature from a petition to qualify Green Party candidates for the November ballot in North Carolina, he said unidentified canvassers brought their “attempts to interfere with democracy” to his doorstep. A woman claiming to represent the state Board of Elections appeared at his home in Fuquay-Varina in late June, a checklist of street addresses in hand, and repeated the request, he said. When Harney — a 31-year-old historian at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro — refused and questioned the woman’s affiliation, she left with a warning: If Green Party candidates gain ballot access, they could take away votes from Democrats and hand the GOP victories in tight races, namely the Senate race between Democrat Cheri Beasley and Trump-backed Republican Rep. Ted Budd.
