Seattle : Employee crashes stolen plane .

If so -a pretty lousy terrorist tbh.

What constitutes a 'good' terrorist ?

Well, for the terrorist, I guess killing as many people as possible, sadly...for non terrorists, there's no such thing.

was there any roaring ? Any name released ?

must be easy to fly a plane

Sounds Like a Nutter involved

The 29-year-old mechanic who stole a plane from a Seattle airport before crashing it into the ground was recorded telling air traffic controllers that he is “just a broken guy”.

Authorities called the man “Rich”, and tried to convince the man to land the plane as he flew over Puget Sound.

“There is a runway just off to your right side in about a mile,” the controller says, referring to an airfield at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.

“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.”

He then said he would perform a last barrel role before he crashed into a sparsely populated area of Ketron Island.

I had a barrel role when I used to be a jobbing actor playing inanimate objects.

The plane had been taken by “a single Horizon Air employee” and that no other passengers or crew were onboard. The employee was a “ground service agent,” according to Alaska Airlines.

“A joyride gone terribly wrong,” Pierce County Sheriff Paul Pastor said during a news conference in Steilacoom, which is about 3 miles from the island.

“A joyride gone terribly wrong,”

Said he was a broken guy, sounds like suicide.
