The latest news from around the world. Is like on takeoff, but yeah, it its burned quite a bit faster than i expected. That is the plan flying the plane. He did a loop. A very dangerous maneuver on a Turbo Prop Plane that he was up there flying. As you can hear in a strange situation. We heard a short time ago from the Chief Operating Officer for horizon air. Heres her statement. Good evening, im Constance The Horizon Chief Operating Officer. Im sorry to share with you this evening at approximately 8 00 p. M. One of our q4 airplanes made an unauthorized takeoff from seatec airport. We believe it was made by an employee and no other passengers or crew were onboard. Shortly therefore it crashed by
it was carrying somebody from the government because i had seen two f15 fighter jets behind it. Maybe its nothing big. As im jogging around a bank, i see the plane start banking right like towards the island. A little gap between the water and the land, if you look in my video. You can see the
something bigger than what we think it is. and then the bang was like, it was an indication something was wrong. i ll ask you to explain sort of the landscape there in the seattle tacoma area. the islands. we understand these f-15 scramble from portland, oregon. and they guided this plane to an area that is remote enough. people live there right near the bridge and at the same time this is an area that is quite remote, yes? yes, why are they so low? there s no airports, no where to land that plane. i was like, that had to come out of sea-tac.
we are following the breaking news that happened hours ago near seattle, washington. a turbo prop plane that was stolen from sea-tac airport we understand by a ground service agent. we have been listening to audio clips from transmission, air traffic control to that pilot. we have been listening to those clips for some time and we found a specific clip that we ve identified and want to play it for you because you hear the pilot of this plane, again, this ground service agent kind of explain what is in his head as he is flying this plane that he stole from an international airport. let s listen. i got a lot of people that care about me and it s going to disappoint them to hear that i did this. i would like to apologize to each and every one of them.
airports? it has to be a multi-layer of security against all kinds of threats. foreign and domestic. until they figure this out. give us a sense of what was happening at sea-tac airport. the officials, the tower, the ground team realize that a plane is taxiing and could be taking off. what would they do to try to prevent it? very little they could do. we ve all seen in hollywood stunt movies where they surround the taxiing plane with trucks and fuel trucks and try to stop it from taking off. in reality, if this person was moving the plane. if they were or were not authorized to taxi the plane and how they got access to the plane alone without someone else. but once a person s taxiing and heading on to the runway, very little you can do to stop a plane from taking off. they re going to go. once they rev the engine and they re going down the runway, they re going.
air traffic control and this pilot. i want to read this to you. this according to the person that was flying the plane. he says this. i got a lot of people that care about me and it s going to disappoint them to hear that i did this. he goes on to say i would like to apologize to each and every one of them i am just a broken guy and i guess i never really knew it until now. we re identifying finding that clip of the transmission and we ll play it as soon as we re able to. but, david, we re getting some insight into who this person was who stole a plane from sea-tac airport. it s tragic, really, that this happened. if there is a silver lining on the cloud, it s that he didn t hurt anyone else on the ground. and he didn t have anybody onboard the aircraft with him. safety implications here. rather the security implications. given that he was able to
