Jacko 2157 Report post Posted August 11, 2018 Some mad fecker "Rich" has pinched a dash 8 Q400 (large turboprop). Not confirmed, but sounds like F15s have shot it down... Many reports of the sonic booms of them chasing it down. https://heavy-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/heavy.com/news/2018/08/seatac-plane-stolen-hijacked-grounded-seattle/amp/?usqp=mq331AQCCAE%3D&_js_v=0.1#referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From %1%24s&share=https%3A%2F%2Fheavy.com%2Fnews%2F2018%2F08%2Fseatac-plane-stolen-hijacked-grounded-seattle%2F 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted August 11, 2018 Wow... Quote The man’s bizarre and ultimately doomed flight pushed fighter planes into action. The Pierce County Sheriff wrote on Twitter, “Stolen horizon airplane crashed into Ketron island. Preliminary info is that a mechanic from unknown airlines stole plane. Was doing stunts in air or lack of flying skills caused crash into Island.” The Sheriff’s Department added, “Two military F 15 chased plane but was not involved in crash” and confirmed, “No passengers on plane.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jacko 2157 Report post Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6050787/Suicidal-Seattle-airport-worker-identified-Richard-Russell.html Sounds like a switch just flipped, and he thought feck it, im gonna go out in a bang. My guess is its sounds like he managed to back the Q400 off the gate, which is no easy task (engines in weird config to do it etc) , If he had the skill/knowledge of how to do that without stacking it, he could have easily landed it... but never intended to. Must have spent some time reading the manuals. Edited August 11, 2018 by Jacko Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
