This Seattle Plane 'Hijacking'

[longers]

Pretty mad story, like real life GTA. Elements of it seem quite amusing (stealing a full on commercial jet and doing loop the loops with it) until you hear the audio transcript of him talking to ATC then you realise it's pretty sad.

Quite a way to end it all though...

edit: I know its not a hijacking as such, but thats what media have been calling it.

Wow, sad for that guy. Sounds like he was lonely. I wonder which GOT member he was.

Apparently that audio starts with the guy saying he couldn't get his Fray Bentos open.

I heard he was having problems with a toilet seat. Maybe just a rumour.

Threw him for a loop?

Watching the video of him doing the barrel roll and coming within 100/200 feet of a splashdown was like watching someone play Grand Theft Auto.

better footage of him nearly flying into a lake !

What do you know maybe he would have deserved to be a pilot after all, compare that to the couple of crashes in Australia recently where they went into lakes when attempting just tight-ish turns.

Yikes

Some pretty amazing manoeuvres!

If you're determined to go out, then that's one hell of a way to go! (As long as no others are killed etc etc)

What’s scary about this is how much this guy knew about how to fly (he could take off and he could work the radio, as well as better than average rolls) and how easy it was to access the airplane

Didn't appear to end well...which is what I think he was going for.
