Military Intercepts Q400 Near Seattle - 8/9/18

Post by RyanS » Sat Aug 11, 2018 4:41 am

Crazy situation tonight as apparently a Horizon Airlines employee stole a Dash 8 Q400 for a joyride without knowing how to land it. He was intercepted by F-15s and may have done a roll before crashing into an island. SEATAC was on a ground stop and is working through a major backlog right now.

Pierce County Sheriff Cessna 206 circling the crash site, along with (possibly) KIRO Bell 407, and what sounds like is a firefighting helicopter.
