Horizon Air Stolen Plane, Richard Russell and SeaTac Security
Richard Russell, a 29-year-old ground service agent, stole an empty Horizon Air Q400 turboprop from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and performed aerial stunts before crashing on Ketron Island. F-15 fighter jets were scrambled from Portland to intercept the aircraft. The discussion explores Russell's background, his radio communications with air traffic control, and the possibility of pharmaceutical side effects like Chantix influencing his behavior.
