But the men were not ready to give up. According to X Pilot, Andre Peterson, though gravely wounded, managed to grab the spear gun's tip and tried the wrestle the weapon away from Auburn Calloway. David Sanders, meanwhile, tried to fight off Calloway. However, it was a difficult task — Sanders had been seriously wounded, and Calloway was a trained martial artist who had prepared for a scuffle.

Meanwhile, James Tucker Jr. was trying to maintain control of the plane. However, the injuries to his skull were slowly paralyzing the right side of his body. In an attempt to injure Calloway, Tucker decided to maneuver the plane as haphazardly as possible. To do this, he pulled the plane's yoke to the left, making it spiral into a barrel roll at around 400 miles per hour (per Tail Strike). The plane had not been designed for this action and was a major risk; however, Tucker clearly decided that Calloway was the bigger threat. 

As a result of the aerial acrobatics, Sanders, Peterson, and Calloway were tossed around the cockpit and galley, at times feeling weightless and fighting on the ceiling. Sometimes, they felt the pressure of three times their weight in gravity forces as the plane turned.
