    How do you fall out of an airplane-----Bo

    This rises to the level of weird

    RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The co-pilot of a small cargo plane died Friday after falling from the aircraft in North Carolina before it made an emergency landing.

    Newsoutletsreport that the body of the co-pilot, 23-year-old Charles Hew Crooks, was found in a backyard in the town of Fuquay-Varina, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) south of the Raleigh-Durham International Airport. He did not have a parachute.

    Which makes the survivor a murder suspect.

    Maybe he was trying to manually lower landing gear?
