    Most people are just one weird moment away from losing their minds — or stealing a jet just for kicks. Episode 14 of Skull Session dives into the wildest, most jaw-dropping stories you’ve ever heard: from a guy stealing a plane in Seattle to a military dog saving lives in Iraq, and a billionaire cloning a kid just to have spare parts. Yeah, you heard that right.We explore the psychology of mental illness through the bizarre story of Richard Russell, a baggage handler turned jet hijacker, who proves that sometimes, all it takes is one bad day to turn life upside down.
