I see it starting to blow up on Twitter.
This is the best I could find:

lanes were reportedly grounded at the SeaTac International Airport as reports flew from passengers on Twitter that someone might have stolen an airplane and taken it on an unauthorized flight.
Nothing was confirmed yet from authorities, but live aviation audio from the tower said authorities were urging a man to try “to land that airplane safely and not hurt anybody.” Other audio reported a ground stop was underway at SeaTac, the airport that services Seattle and Tacoma.
The man’s name was “Rich,” according to tower audio and, at one point, he told the tower he was losing an engine. Periodically, his voice cut into the dispatches. At one point, “Rich” (or “Rick”), said on the aviation audio, “This is probably jail time for life, huh? I would hope it is for a guy like me.” People on Twitter who were following the aviation audio reported that the man attempted a “barrel roll” with the plane at one point – or at least claimed he was going to do so. Others reported that the man had supposedly “buzzed” Mt. Rainier.

Yep friend of mine texted me, they had to unboard. Sounds like a Horizon plane

Sea Tac is the worst TSA check in the US?

Fox news has their heads so far up their collective asses about political bs they aren't even reporting it.

I'm in tacoma and was watching a movie with my wife and we heard loud jet noise. I commented to my wife that it was unusual for the fighters from JBLM to fly right over us. That's what I get for logging off tiger droppings.

I've flown in and out of Sea-Tac before back in 2009 for the LSU-Washington game

Glad to see we had fighters on him very quickly and NORAD was aware of the situation quickly.
We learned some lessons and made improvements.

“Oh man. Those guys will rough me up if I try and land there,” the man responded, later adding “This is probably jail time for life, huh?” Later the man said: “I’ve got a lot of people that care about me. It’s going to disappoint them to hear that I did this...Just a broken guy, got a few screws loose, I guess.”
And he's from Seattle. I'm guessing he had one too many brownies.
