It was easier for me to read the transcript. One of my brothers (retired from Navy after 20+ years) committed suicide in his living room three years ago. I heard about it the day of his funeral, from my dad (who was not this brother's dad)
Difficult to imagine the thought processes that bring a person to this point, and then to be so cheery and cavalier. The guy was an idiot, but your heart has to go out to him. Fortunately he took no one with him. Surprised the F15 didn't blow him out of the sky over the sound, this could have gone much worse.
There is a sound clip of him with a conversation between the controller and him.
There also edited clips with footage but will not post that because of foul language.
But pretty weird to listen to that but a real insight into somebody's mind who desperately was in need of some serious help but obviously didn't get it.
Feel free to listen but don't if your not up to it....
