Air crash suicide
stolen commuter plane out of Sea-Tac by a wigged out aircraft mechanic...suicide crash into a Puget Sound Island. Tabby is right..nation going bonkers.
Alll over local PNW news..probably national tomorrow. Sounds like he didn't take others with him, so a silver lining. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-08-11/seattle-airport-employee-hijacks-plane-does-barrel-roll-then-crashes-fighter-jets

Yup. This will probably be national in a few hours. I've been following it since 3am here at Good Morning America.
There's got to be an easier way to commit suicide besides stealing and operating a plane. |

Just heard a radio news person describe it as "a small 80 passenger commuter plane". Saw some video too. That was not a small aircraft. I laughed when the radio said the pilot was "concerned about the rate at which it was burning fuel". I'm sure 2 big, full-throttled turbines at sea-level do burn it as an impressive rate. Lol! Glad nobody else was hurt. Shine on you barrel-roll, airliner dude. Last edited by pavulon; 08-11-2018 at 04:54 AM.. |

Happened nearby me. Heard the roar of the F 15's ,not like a fly by but a continuous
low rumble that went on for awhile. I couldn't figure it out, as it was not like a usual plane flying overhead where the sound tracks. Saw a post on Facebook that described what was going on and turned on the local news. Quite a few people were getting video of it. The plane crashed and burned on Ketron Island. I called a friend on a nearby island who said the ground shook at her house, although she had no idea what had happened. The F-15's were out of Portland and up here within minutes. The guy who stole the plane had no flying experience but was trying to do barrel rolls etc. Crazy !! |

I was about to say, 'how in the hell does one do that?" when I remembered there's a YouTube video for everything ....  |

Taking off is easy they say. Landing is a bit harder....

But just think if he actually pulled off those Extra300 maneuvers in a Dash8-400.
Trained by X-Plane and by God. He would be a living legend. |

One point landing.
 He became suicidal soon after take off, with remorse for stealing such a pig of a plane. |

He sounded way overexited, maybe he was high on meds or something.
The ATC dudes seemed very nice and concerned, did their best to make him snap out of it. maybe a bit to nice for this type of dude out of the range.. But no blame , it's to easy to second guess after the fact.

One of the best suicides I’ve ever heard of, that’s for sure!

Roger, Roger,
What's the vector, victor? Check the clearance, Clarence. No other injuries, casualties, or fatalities from on board, on runway/taxi, in air, or on ground. Thankfully. |
