In August of 2018, 28 year old Richard "Beebo" Russell - a baggage handler with no flight experience- stole a 21 million dollar airliner from Seattle's SeaTac airport. After flying the plane around and performing maneuvers for a little over and hour, he purposefully flew it directly into a small island in Puget Sound, ending his life.
