what kind of plane? an airliner? An msn article didn't say

Sativa_Rose posted...
It's apparently an Alaska Air Q400 and he's heading south of Tacoma. Two F-15s have been scrambled to intercept.

We have confirmed that a Horizon Air Q400 that had an unauthorized take-off from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport around 8 p.m. has gone down near Ketron Island in Pierce County, WA.

We are working to confirm who was on board, but it is believed that there were no passengers or crew on board other than the person operating the plane. NTSB has been notified.

https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/airplane-taken-from-seattle-tacoma-international-airport-has-crashed/

didnt know. just heard about it.
he wasnt a pilot? they identifying him as Rich/Richard, horizon air employee.
Rich said, Ive got a lot of people that care about me. Its going to disappoint them to hear that I did this. I would like to apologize to each and every one of them. Just a broken guy, got a few screws loose, I guess. Never really knew it, until now.

An exchange between Rich and the controller not long before the plane crashed, perhaps the final exchange, was recorded by Aviation journalist Jon Ostrower at 8:47 p.m. and posted to his Air Current website.

yea more details are slowly reeling in.

back to the article, the atc guy asks him to land on the joint military base there and he replied he didnt want to cause of anti-air defense there and he couldnt land the plane without damaging other stuff there it seemed.

i think the fighters were escorting the plane to be sure the rogue plane wasnt gonna crash into the city.

hope theres more about this guy in the morning. like who told him he had screws loose

Listened to some of the ATC audio. I wonder if he was manic when he stole the plane, or suicidal. He sounds like he knows he royally screwed up and knows how it's going to end, and just doesn't want to hurt anyone else in the process.

Up late and seeing more compilations on youtube of him talking.
Truly epic way to go out. But at the same time there's something so genuinely sad hearing him talk. He sounds so lost and done with it all but at peace too. And he was concerned about not wanting to hurt anyone so he wasn't so out of his mind he didn't care about others anymore.

And its suprisingly not as uncommon as youd think. 8 years ago, a guy committed suicide by nose diving a stolen plane straight into the ground at the end of the runway of the small county airport right near my house.

That report doesnt say that he did it on purpose but it was later revealed that he was doing loops and aerobatics in it before he intentionally crashed it.

If he had chosen to live he probably would have served a relatively short sentence with his mental health and unwillingness to put others at risk factored in. I could see him thinking his life was just over at that point, though. It's just too bad, if he had lived he would have been a legend for the barrel roll.

I have a question

Guy posted the video to a public social media platform. Would those news networks technically be breaking any sort of laws if they used it anyways, or is it just a common courtesy thing? What's protocol in cases like this?

Also unrelated question, how the fuck is there not some sort of ATC override by now? Like hey we've got a plane moving and nobody's talking but it's going slow on the ground atm let's slow it down
