New Footage Shows Moments Before Seattle Man Crashed Plane in 2018 

I'm sure most people know exactly what that is. I'd say more people than not know what he means.

Rip Russell

Depression is super common and most people don't know they have it. If you feel like something in your life just isn't right please get checked out and save yourself years of living a miserable nightmare.

Rest In Peace, Big Guy.

What if therapy is too expensive

*Well he sure did go out with style!*

That's exactly what he did.

Bittersweet really. I don’t know how to really think of it either. I pray God forgives him for taking his own life but a part of me feels happy for him that he went out the way he wanted… I don’t know, such a strange story and guy. I bet he was someone you would have a beer with.

At least he went out in style without taking anyone with him. for that he didnt have as many screws loose and many may say. RIP

@@Watefak I know it’s a bit annoying calling this poor guy a hero or a legend but I think the context of those statements represent something else. I truly don’t think they really think he is a hero or a legend it’s just a lazy figure of speech.

Nah he just had no fear. If trained pilots had no fear as well they could do it even better. They just dont want to risk their lives and their passengers so they dont attempt to do it.

@@f.f.657 It be a whole lot better if they did!!!

That has to be the greatest pirate I've ever seen

Best pilot 😂he couldn’t land it great take off tho

@@resksmith5862 his point was to crash it, but safely to not harm anyone directly. So from his perspective he landed it perfectly. Besides he didn't want to put landing aid on, so he could crash it. He knew what he was doing. He deserves to be remembered as a pilot legend.

I totally get this. I think a lot of us felt some kind of emotional connection to him. I wish he knew how fondly people (who had never met him) think of him now.

Life is full of ups and down. The markets remain unpredictable, this is apparently the best time to use a good investment broker

Lookup Susan Denise Vargason, I came across her in an investment magazine and I reached out to her afterwards. her consistency is top notch

Nice, you stole someone else’s comment.

Microsoft flight simulator

Suicidal Microsoft Flight Simulator 2022

dude had two firsts names that were also last names. he eventually went crazy and he died. at least he went alone.

@@rushieboi3192 microsoft flight simulator x was released since 2006

he's not a legend

He certainly practiced at home on a flight simulator. But it's still extremely impressive

You should watch the documentary. He did much more than just a smooth take off. Pushed the limits on that plane. He told atc he was going to do a circle flip....and he did it. Now that's impressive!

bro he played videos game what you expect

Mm daddyyy, I've got something you can take off without experience🖤

Bruh don't you know his a pro pilot in GTA

Thats true but most people with these problems dont want to hurt anyone only themself

and an expensive plane

@@francogonzalez1985 insurance

@@francogonzalez1985 so it would've been better if he crashed it on to others. Or killed other before he dude himself?

@@Yoruski no it would be better if he used a gun to himself. also how you get to that conclusion? people like you give me headache

Yes surey bob that's the sky king 👑

You're in a death cult.

Is it his private plane or someone/company plane?

Moron..killed himself..

@yukari akiyama thank you, that guy calling the criminal a good man for stealing a plane and suicide with it lol.

@@specialc8142 totally agree with you. Even when you have problems, stealing an airplane is not a gentleman act ....

@@wombat8601 did either of you watch the video? He was toeing it and it literally started moving by itself. That's why he had to jump in it, but he's kind of an idiot anyway because why tf even jump on it?

Yes, and the tough guy culture makes sure that, even if you try talking about it, it's just laughed off.

@@michaelm.1947 Sad sad world we're living in

He could have killed a lot of people, being depressed doesn’t make it more understandable

@@Adi.w4v well that's kinda the point he picked the less crowd area to crashed himself out. From thousands of places. It could've been the buildings like 911 or stadium or malls but he didn't go that way.

but if was a Muslim just imagine the hu haa would have been labelled a Terrorist not someone with screw loose probably all the press would have blamed his whole religion

Honest to god, I pray for the family, friends and close ones who were a part of his life. Im sorry for your loss.

Depression is a myth foolbar it's not in the bible

@@catsbyondrepair Hoping this is satire

@@catsbyondrepair bruh, depression is very real

@@mxmangobutt I checked this persons comment history. They have a history of making comments like this one and saying that Karens were in the right. Probably a fatherless troll.

@@catsbyondrepair you're not in the bible so you're a myth

Well he flew high....literally 🕊

Ah, don't feel bad for suicidal losers. Save your sorrow for people who want to live.

He would be alive because this probably would have led him down a path to mandatory therapy and proper meds to treat his depression.

and you talk like an 18years old now adays

Lindsey Lockwood more like he would have been fired and given zero help. Probably would have been publicly shamed too since this is on video. But nice little fairytale you came up with there🤷🏽‍♀️

Exactly, I wouldn’t even know how to adjust the seat . The fact that he actually got it on the air is impressive.

Will power.

Can’t he off himself somewhere else without destroying a multi million dollar aircraft tho ?

@@ImUrZaddy no fun in that

@@ImUrZaddy yeah he can, but like.. he did it in a cool way.

@@ImUrZaddy if your gonna off yourself you gotta do it in style, Chad move by him to not want to hurt anyone and just wanting to have fun in his final moments

@@peterlambo1216 If you owned that multimilliondollar aircraft, would you let him crash it in style for fun? How generous.

Destroyed an expensive plane

@@aerystargaryenii2565 surely they had insurance.

@@slayba so can I go out right now and destroy a plane with the excuse that I’m depressed and they have insurance to pay for it?

@@imthecoolest50 you have an innate skill for not comprehending and missing the point...bravo.

@@imthecoolest50 Destroying a plane without killing innocent people is a respectable plan. That's all we're saying, but if you want to do that go right ahead.

@Imperialknight9009 DUN DUN DUN !!

I was hoping for new footage like it said on the thumbnail 🤦

@Imperialknight9009 lol he stole a plane they didn't make it seem any different

well said

Hurt wife and kids were not on his list I suppose

Head scratcher. Seemed like a cool guy.

Instead of pie to face, it could have been plane to face.

Ayo stop the cap 🧢

Will tell my grandchildren about the sky king.

He's still roaming in the skies no doubt

@@lavalampa2020 lmao? U think this is a joke?

He is... He was... He will always be... An idiot...and now a dead idiot.

What happened Why did he steal the plane??

@@muhammadusmanrafique3517 because he wanted to kill himself in style

@@muhammadusmanrafique3517 he was suicidal and wanted to do something that he did in a lot in video game flight simulators, before crashing on purpose.

@@greygray6230 oh

For those who believe these stories that the media pushes has any truth to it,I feel kinda sorry for..

This world is full of s**t holes. You wouldn't of cared.

Maybe, maybe not. Sometimes even successful people with lots of friends still have "a few screws loose", and we don't yet have the medical technology to understand much less fix many brain problems.

@@DemPilafian Agreed. Some people have a great support network, have a job they enjoy, have a family they love, etc. and it frankly doesn't always make a difference. Even with these things, some people will be depressed. Even without, some people will be happy. I wish he received help but he didn't - or it didn't work for him.

Don't ask me how i know. But when you want to die, you want to die! You don't want a hug, a friend, a load of money or anything, you just want to end it.

But that's the thing nobody is willing to be the right person until after the fact

A LOT; to discourage copycats and terrorists.

either alot or almost nothing cause of mental problems

It’s felony to steal a MV, aircraft, boat etc…

First offender... Non-violent offense with no damages or injuries and no passenger. Honestly they would make him do 3 months of a 2 year sentence out on good behavior and he'd be on a very long probation mandatory therapy checkins. Not a big deal at all. A really good attorney might have even gotten him less time than that but he would be with a PD from the sound of his situation. He is an illustration of how we collectively turn a blind eye to people like him and fully expect them to check out just not in such a glorious fashion. We expect white males like him to OD quietly at home on fentanyl.

@@Lindsey_Lockwood mandatory therapy chickens too 🐔🐓🐓

Yeah, we all do brother! Hope you're doing well.

I truly know :(

I know the feeling. I'm at the end of my rope as it is, just trying to hang on for a while.

Sending hugs and love for all of you ❤️ 💗 💓, God bless

Sad truth is that he didn't find peace.

makes me feel like he really didnt think it through.

Him hijacking a plan doesn't make him a good person

@Nah mate he still hijacked a plane. Good people don’t do that on the regular.

He is a hero for the depressed but not everyone is a depressed soul

@@tonymontana-ho8nc Stolen, not Hijacked. Big difference.

Suicide kills a part in your family and friends. He did kill people

@@futurerecon8930 true that

@@zezem $12.5M plane.

It's not fair to blame his friends when you don't fully know his condition or struggles.

@@DemPilafian I'm no one to blame his friend, all i said was that it is heart wrenching to suffer from stuff like this

That’s what therapy is for tho

Living in one of the best nation in the world, having a job as a baggage hander in the airport, having a family and a happy life yet suffering from depression or "lose screws" there goes almost a million dollars worth plane.

@@manwithstds7503 I feel for him

Well said.

So true. I don't make a lot, but spend it wisely now. I turned my world upside down in the past, I never want to do it again. Life is short..

@@lifeisshort..1685 My husband, up until 4 months ago made a hefty salary. His contract ended resulting in us having to move across country He took a much lower paying job with a company (coincidentally, building aircrafts) he's been wanting to work for for years. Before the move we lived in a luxury apartment with all the amenities close to everything in our city. Now we live in a double wide that needs lots of work because buying was cheaper than renting (we prefer to rent, less responsibility. Im aware that you throw away money renting, but we didnt care) I was really upset when we moved. It's not the life I have been accustomed to for the past 7 years. I really had to dig deep and realize so many ppl would be grateful for the things I have now and if I let it get to me, I was going to continue to be miserable. I didn't want that because we can die any day without notice. Moral of the story, I went from having tons of money to throw away, to living from paycheck to paycheck and I can still live happily as long as I humble myself and allow it to happen ❤

@@RC-cc1xl You just changed my entire thinking, I've been living off from paycheck to paycheck and feeling miserable about it that I never get a salary raise and felt more miserbale when I found out my co-worker and same position gets paid thrice of what I get. I've tried suicide didn't work either but after reading this I now know what I need more in life... "I humble myself and allow it to happen" and "I really had to dig deep and realize so many ppl would be grateful for the things I have now" Thanks I really appreciate.

@@RC-cc1xl Really neat way to think about things. Living is easier when you don't have to envy

Legends never die.

at one point he also asked if it could do a barrel roll.

Gross. Put many people's lives endanger that day. 0 regard for anyone else but himself. Man child.

@@eyeless7772 🤓

@@eyeless7772 “🤓”

All you do is mash the throttle and turn the controls. That's it. Nobody does it because it will pull the plane apart.

Dang,i hope the world has something more to offer to you and definitely something good.

We're glad you're still with us, bud.

Thanks dude

Glad you made it through the darkness.

Ok I didn't expect this to get this much likes. Thank you, everyone. I dont know yall and idk if yall have heard this at all today, but for whoever needs it, I love you and I'm glad you're here to read this.

Stay strong mate, I've been there before. God bless

"...but you decided to carry all your burdens to yourself and only yourself." Yeah, no burden on the airline/insurance co. to lose a multi-million dollar plane; no burden on taxpayers to pay for fighter jets to scramble to ensure that this selfish idiot doesn't plow into a building; no burden on firefighters to put out the blaze or emergency response teams; no burden on crash investigators, no burden on his family who have to plan a funeral and deal with possible lawsuits/damage claims, etc..

Haha this is really good and I don't even like poetry

I wanted to be a pilot all my life too and sadly have yet to do so. I can understand his yearning for something different.
