Description
Editor's note: The above video on the aftermath of the stolen plane crash on Ketron Island originally aired July 7, 2022.
It’s been five years since a man stole a commercial airplane at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and flew it for more than an hour before crashing on an island in south Puget Sound.
On Aug. 10, 2018, at around 7:15 p.m., Richard “Bebo” Russell, 28, stole a Horizon Air Q400 Turboprop from the cargo area at Sea-Tac Airport. Surveillance video shows Russell, a Horizon Air ground service agent, tow the plane out of the cargo area and release it. As the plane rolls forward, Russell runs after the plane and jumps in the cabin door.
F-15 fighter jets were scrambled out of their base at Portland International Airport to intercept the plane.
