John J. Nance

Um, but wow, guys, we're...

John Nance being reposted.

Vince.

So look at that, guys.

Dan Bongino now.

Thank you, Dan.

Kash Patel, Alexis Wilkins, John Nance, Chris Hinkle.

Hmm?

Passengers got in, subdued the bad guy, wrapped him up in, uh, headphone cords, and then g- managed to get the plane on the ground, in this case, in Saudi Arabia, and the passengers are all safe.

I knew the guy I wanted to talk to about this is John Nance, and he happened to be available today.

John, you ought to know, is an aviation safety analyst, veteran airline c- uh, captain, but I consider, more importantly, uh, a fighter pilot in both Vietnam and the Gulf War, as well as being a lawyer and a New York Times [laughs] bestseller of, I can say it because I've read some of them, some very fine novels.

John Nance, welcome back to the program.

Thank you, Lars.

Good to be with you again.

When I say that they may fly, never fly again, it depends on a lot of inspection that's gonna have to be done to see how many G-forces they put on it.

You can do about 3.6 Gs positive up, but if it's much more than that, if you don't rip the tail off or you don't rip the wings off, uh, you're certainly going to bend the machine.

As it took off, witnesses reported seeing the nose suddenly turn upward.

ABC News aviation consultant John Nance says the facts around this case remain puzzling.

It stopped suddenly at the end on takeoff, which an experienced instructor would not normally do, would not do, except in response to something.

The plane hit a large branch near the top of a 40-foot tree before it came down and crashed just feet away from the end of the runway.

Nearly a thousand flights canceled, many more had hours-long delays.

ABC News contributor John Nance says there needs to be a comprehensive look into the incident.

We need not the finger pointing.

We need to know exactly why the backup was in such a vulnerable position.

They dragged their feet.

That leads me to the question to John Nance joining us, former supervisory special agent with the FBI, then assigned to Miami and Washington DC, as I recall, the field offices for over 20 years.

You can find him on all social media @thejohnnance.

Why have they gotten away with it for so long? And they're right there online with 10 million followers flaunting an extravagant lifestyle.

They would exploit their mother absolutely if they had that opportunity.

So they'll do and say whatever it is that they need to say or do because the only thing that they care about is themselves.

I'd like to hear your take.

I do not think Michigan State wins this game, but I do-

Where's the faith, John?

I, I know.

I used up all my faith on Wisconsin, um, and they, uh, they, they made me look pretty stupid.

I hope you're right, Will.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, John Nance, Notre Dame 42, Michigan State 10.

All right, let's make sure there's no other score predictions in here.

That is very difficult to interdict or prevent, but the FBI still works, you know, 24 hours a day, seven days a week to try to keep the American people safe.

Yeah, you know, we've been lucky to have a couple of FBI folks on, Chris Hinkle, John Nance, and, you know, we...

Right, great guys.

Oh, yeah, we get these great insights behind the scenes, sort of, you know, the perspective from people who really were in that cops and robbers stage, and then thereafter were really in the fight of trying to keep the country safe.

NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy says the plane hit a van with seven people inside, killing five, and also hit an SUV when it overran the runway.

Here is aviation safety analyst John Nance.

The aircraft actually touches down apparently on its nose gear at one point, and the crew is having trouble dissipating the airspeed, the excessive airspeed apparently that they came over the threshold with.

Now, whether that was because of a tailwind, whether that was because of something else, we don't know yet.
