SeaTac shut down. I was on AS 79 to Juneau and they had us depart the plane asap. Pilot said someone had taken over a plane and they were hoping he would take it to the water, but concern was he would look at SeaTac.. lines of jets on the tarmac now. I’m in c gate AK lounge.


Got the s from a friend coming back to JNU

Sea Tac is the worst TSA check in the US?

Be interesting to see what he did at Horizon


Probably a mechanic if he was skilled enough to start, taxi, and takeoff but not land.

I wonder if it would be possible to take over the Controls remotely and land it from the ground. Fed Ex planes supposedly have the capability to take off and land on autopilot and only have crews because of FAA regulations.

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

Yea but looking at the photos of the crash site there is no way he survived.

Saying a mechanic took the plane up. Sounds like another PNW whacko that wanted to go out in style.

Most people wouldn't be able to fly a Q400. Meaning, they wouldn't understand how to take off. It's more complicated that a jet.

There is a clip on Instagram of the plane flying low and attempting to do a roll. It was shortly followed by a fighter jet.

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.

Highly doubt that. Saw video of crash site. Fiery and large mushroom cloud. The last video before crash showed him hauling arse.
