Plane spotter Kevin Ray, who created the YouTube channel where the video was posted, can be heard exclaiming with surprise.

Audio of the passenger jet's crew alerting air traffic control to the potential threat was recorded by a Dutch plane spotter.

Pilshchykov was an avid plane spotter before training as a pilot and joining the 40th tactical aviation brigade in 2016, military news outlet Militarnyi said.

Through a painstaking search that included deep dives into websites in which plane spotter hobbyists kept track of aircraft, Ceraudo and Lewin were able to locate the planes.

ProPublica confirmed that Thomas was on the jet through Supreme Court security records obtained by the nonprofit Fix the Court, private jet data, a New Haven plane spotter and another person at the airport.
