Alaska Airlines plane stolen from Sea-Tac Airport

[Vassenor]

the man is just shitposting, making a joke about the planes.
tbh think of those innocent planes, getting flown by some high af crazy guy,

I'm not shitposting, planes contribute negatively to the environment which isn't acknowledged as much as factory pollution in China or India or something.

And what does that have to do with the topic at hand beyond the tangential "well he stole a plane"?

Maybe we should stop praising dangerous criminals for only killing themselves.

the man hijacked a plane a flew over the water, real dangerous

Hijacking any plane is inherently dangerous, even more so because the guy was not a qualified pilot.

Yes, it is.

the man was already a professional, said so himself. He flew it well enough if he could do a barrel roll.

Do you have a grudge against me or something? Do you feel the urge to respond to every single message I post? And ohno he crashed the poor plane ohno someone think of the plane : ( ohno taxpayer have to pay for plane ohno I'm just going to call this guy an asshole ohno despite the fact he was mentally ill.

[Vassenor]

Poor guy.

At least he got to do something many pilots never do.
Barrel roll a passenger plane.

And there's a very good reason for that.

Can certainly confirm that for you. From what we know so far, he is a mechanic.

He's not a qualified pilot; maybe he just know a thing or two about planes, but certainly doesn't have the experience or clearance to fly one.

Ridiculous. Now I know you aren't being serious. Good to know.

oh no im being serious, he can fly a plane better than professionals, does that not, technically make him qualified?

[Vassenor]

oh no im being serious, he can fly a plane better than professionals, does that not, technically make him qualified?

Or he just got damn lucky that the plane didn't fall out of the sky when pushed past its published g-load.

Professional pilots can actually land a plane. This guy clearly couldn't. He is so much better than professional pilots isn't he(!)

[Grater Tovakia]

ATC conversation was truly saddening. Kudos to the F-15 pilots who guided him away from the residential areas.

[Ifreann]

He died in a crash.

i mean, not like he intended to land, plus he was hysterical.

still flew better than anyone I know

[Vassenor]

He died in a crash.

still flew better than anyone I know

And how many actual licensed pilots do you know?

[Aukea]

or he was a decent pilot.

He died in a crash.

And he was suicidal.

[Ifreann]

He died in a crash.

I'd advise you and your buddies not to try and fly, then.
