Mechanic Steals Airplane, Crashes to Death In Puget Sound

A bizarre and tragic story unfolded on Friday night in and around Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.


According to various outlets, as well as footage captured by stunned pedestrians, an airport mechanic hijacked a plane around 8 p.m., flew it around for about an hour…


… and then crashed into the Puget Sound in Washington, killing himself in the process.




an airport


The man, who was referred to as Rich by air traffic control personnel in various exchanges that have been made public, worked for Alaska Air Horizon and allegedly stole a Horizon Air Q400, shutting down the airport for a brief period of time.


In a statement released on Twitter last night, Sea-Tac Airport officials confirmed the reports of an “unauthorized takeoff,” saying in full:


“An airline employee conducted an unauthorized takeoff without permission at Sea-Tac; aircraft has crashed in south Puget Sound. Normal operations at Sea-Tac Airport have resumed.”


The incident is not considered to have been a terrorist act of any kind.


Instead, based on the aforementioned traffic control exchanges, it appears to have been a suicidal act by a troubled individual.


“Male is confirmed a suicidal male. Acted alone he is 29-year-old Pierce county residence [sic],” the Pierce County Sheriff Department Tweeted late Friday.

The drama actually played out live over air traffic control monitoring sites.


In audio recordings of the incident posted on Broadcastify, Rich can be heard talking to air traffic controllers as they try to guide him to land the plane.


“I’ve got a lot of people that care about me, and it’s going to disappoint them to hear that I did this,” the man says.


“I would like to apologize to each and every one of them. Just a broken guy, got a few screws loose, I guess. Never really knew it until now.”


It’s terrifying and upsetting to listen to.

Earlier in the flight, the man says: “This is probably like jail time for life, huh? I mean, I would hope it is, for a guy like me.”


“Well,” a controller replies, “we’re not going to worry or think about that. But could you start a left-hand turn, please?”


Throughout the back-and-forths, controllers are calmly trying to steer the man away from any place where he could cause damage by landing or crashing the plane.


They are trying to save his life and also the lives of everyone underneath his flight path.


“Let’s get you on the ground so you don’t hurt anyone,” someone identified as Captain Bill tells Rich.


As Rich flew over the water, a pair of F-15 fighter jets were dispatched to intercept the plane; neither were involved in the eventual crash landing.


The plane was seen by a number of witnesses doing stunts before crashing, as witnesses shared videos of the low-flying aircraft on social media.


“Some dude stole a plane from #Seatac (Allegedly),” Tweeted one witness, adding:


“did a loop-the-loop, ALMOST crashed into #ChambersBay, then crossed in front of our party, chased by fighter jets and subsequently crashed. Weird times.”




air tweet


Weird times, but mostly sad and tragic times in this case.


The plane was taken from a maintenance position and was not scheduled for a passenger flight, said Gary Beck, Horizon Air’s president and chief executive officer.


An investigation is underway to determine more, but it is not believed that anyone outside of the pilot/mechanic was harmed.


“Our hearts are with the families of the individual aboard as well as all of our Alaska Air and Horizon Air employees,” said Constance von Muehlen, the airline’s chief operating officer.

The Voice Recap: Adam Levine Steals Another Singer

Is it just us or has the addition of Kelly Clarkson given The Voice a new lease on life? All shows go through testing times at one point or another. 


The last few seasons of The Voice have just been there, with little in the way of exciting performers that make lasting impressions. 



But there’s something about the addition of Kelly that’s making the feedback considerably more constructive and beneficial to the performers. 


Could it be down to the fact that she came from American Idol and knew what it was like to be on the other side of the stage?


Perhaps. 


It is hilarious that ABC tried to poach her for American Idol, which, by the way, has actually been a fun revival. 


Let’s break down the next three battles that took place on Tuesday night’s episode of this NBC juggernaut. 



Team Kelly: Jorge Eduardo vs. Amber Sauer –  “Starving”


Kelly paired these two because she felt like they showed the most passion for their singing, and that would make for the fairest battle of the entire series. 


Some coaches pair two polar opposites together, and it comes across as unfair. Maybe that’s why the process is still very flawed after all these years. 


Jorge decided to surprise Kelly by adding a new section into the hit song, and it was needed. It set him above Amber, but if he hadn’t added that part, it would have been too difficult to call who was going to win. 


Amber still sang like a pro, but she never managed to upstage Jorge, and that’s why she never got to stay on the team. The biggest shocker was that there was no steal. 


Winner: Jorge



Team Adam: Reid Umstattd vs. Davison – “Love On the Brain”


This pair went with the Rihanna hit, and it was a solid, but unspectacular performance. The good thing was that it was fair to put them together. 


Because neither of them was better than the other, it made it difficult for Adam to pick which of them to advance to the next stage of the competition. 


WinnerReid


Team Alicia: Kelsea Johnson vs. Jordyn Simone –  “Don’t Let Go”


This one was a real head-scratcher. Both performances were poised to be the best of the night, but they both had their fair share of flaws. 


They both shouted their way through the performance, and it made it difficult to tell who was singing. It was a disappointing performance. 


Winner: Kelsea Johnson


Steal: Jordyn Simone to Team Adam



Despite Adam struggling to find some decent performers at the auditions, he has been building up a solid team through the steals.


What did you think of the episode?

The Voice Recap: Steals Galore!

With the Blind Auditions out of the way, the hopefuls went to war with each other to secure their spot at the next stage of the competition, and it paved the way for some emotional scenes. 


Rascal Flatts advised Blake Shelton, Kelly Rowland joined Jennifer Hudson, Joe Jonas partnered with Adam Levine and Bill Ray Cyrus joined forces with Miley Cyrus. 



Lucas Holliday vs. Megan McNeal – “My Prerogative” 


Jennifer stressed that it was vital for them to focus on their own performance as opposed to worrying that the other was getting all the attention. 


Despite positive comments for both contestants, Jennifer sent Megan home and kept Lucas around until the next stage of the competition. When the pair were put together, Lucas was the clear winner. 


Moriah Formica vs. Shilo Gold – American Woman


Miley implied that this was a terrible choice for her, but when you think about it, Moriah completely owned the stage during the battle. Shilo was decent, but no match for Moriah. 


Moriah went on to win the vote of Miley, sending Shilo packing. 



Keisha Renee vs. Noah Mac – “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry”


This one was more of a tough choice. Both singers put so much effort into ensuring they would secure a victory, and they even took a lot of feedback from the coaches into consideration. 


That’s the best thing you ask for of a participant during one of these shows. Unfortunately for Noah, Blake thought Keisha pulled it off better. 


Chris Weaver defeated Kathrina Feigh  – “Dangerous Woman.”


In rehearsals, Chris got an early lead on Kathrina, and you could tell Kelly thought so. It was almost like everyone had agreed Chris was advancing and Kelly’s fate was up in the air. 


When it came to the actual performance, Kathrina sounded like she was whimpering throughout, while Chris turned in a solid performance. Jennifer kept Chris around, but it was not the end of the road for Kathrina. 


Blake swooped in to give her a shot on his team. We’re not quite sure it was a wise idea, but time will tell whether it will come back to bite him. 



Brooke Simpson vs. Sophia Bollman – “You’re a Big Girl Now”


Both Brooke and Sophia brought a lot to the table, so you can only imagine our surprise that one of them got through and the other was sent home. 


The performance was rock-solid, and the two squared off against each another with class. Miley kept Brooke around, but nobody thought it was a good idea to steal Sophia. 


What a shame. 


Adam Pearce vs. Whitney Fenimore- “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around”


What do you get when you put two of the most promising singers together? One of the biggest disappointments of the season. Both of them appeared as early frontrunners, but putting them together was just wrong. 


There was nothing about their voices together that really worked. Adam scraped a win by the skin of his teeth, and Whitney was stolen by Miley. 


We are so glad she’s getting a second chance. 


With the Battle Rounds in full swing, it should be fun to find out who goes next. 


The Voice continues Tuesday night on NBC!

Conrad Hilton Steals Rick Salomon"s Car, Gets Arrested Yet Again

Conrad Hilton is only 23 years old, and yet he’s been arrested more times than many people twice his age.


It just goes to show you that when it comes to being a terrible, troubled human being with no regards for the law, age ain’t nothin’ but a number.



Early this morning, Conrad experienced his latest arrest after a night of bad choices.


First, he went over to Rick Salomon’s house and stole his Bentley, like one does.


You might remember Rick from his co-starring role on Paris Hilton’s sex tape, but he’s also the father of Hunter Daily Salomon, Conrad’s former girlfriend.


Conrad and Hunter dated several years ago, but for the past couple of years he’s been fixated on her — Hunter got a restraining order against him in 2015, which he promptly violated.


More on all this in a bit: let’s get back to Conrad’s crazy night.



After stealing Rick Salomon’s car, he drove to E.G. Daily’s house and tried to break in. Daily is Hunter’s mother.


He was reportedly trying to get in contact with Hunter, but breaking into her mother’s house at 4:00 AM is not the way to do it. It also violated the restraining order once again.


Conrad was arrested and booked for violating the restraining order and for grand theft auto charges, and his bail has been set for $ 60,000.


At this point, it’s beyond clear that Conrad has some very, very serious issues.



Poor Hunter has claimed that all the way back in 2014, Conrad suddenly became obsessed with her. He began showing up at her home unannounced, and he told her that he would kill himself if she didn’t date him again.


She was especially alarmed when he came into her house and “asked if he could please just see [her] before he killed himself.”


She also said that he advised her to “get a restraining order, because he can’t restrain himself.”


Although she did get the order, he still broke into her home a month later.



When you consider all that he put the girl through — and when you throw in that time that he was arrested for freaking out on a plane mid-flight, claiming afterwards that he would have killed a flight attendant if he hadn’t been stopped?


The whole family must be terrified.


Here’s hoping that Conrad gets help for whatever it is he’s been going through for the past few years — because goodness knows he needs it.

Little Girl Steals Pope"s Hat, Hearts of Everyone on the Internet

We"ve said it before and now we can say it again:


Pope Francise for ALL the wins!


The beloved gay rights supporter stepped out to meet fans St. Peter"s Square in Rome on Wednesday, stopping at one point to say hello to a man and a young girl.


The little girl was named Estella Westrick, she was three years old, she was in attendance with her godfather… and she stole The Pope"s hat upon meeting him!



She gave it back quickly, we should note, but not before the surrounding crowd let out a loud and awkward laugh.


Would The Pope be angry? Would the man get in trouble? Would the toddler get kicked out of the area?


HA! Of course not! This is Pope Francis! He took the incident in awesome stride!



"Right before she went up she was a little nervous. Then she stole his hat. It was hilarious. Everyone was laughing, including the Pope," Mountain Butorac told CNN, adding:


"It"s her first full day in Rome. Who knows what she will get up to tomorrow?"


Hopefully something equally hilarious and viral!



Watch the hilarious clip now!

Kathleen Biden: Hunter Biden is a Cheating Drug User Who Steals Money From Me!

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden’s alleged drug use and infidelity was, in part, what led to the end of his marriage.


That’s according to his estranged wife Kathleen, to whom he is still married … while dating his late brother Beau’s widow Hallie Biden.



Kathleen filed a new motion in D.C. Superior Court on February 23, just one week before Hunter and Hallie’s relationship went public.


Hallie and Hunter confirmed they are dating in a statement.


Not happy about that for a variety of reasons, Kathleen claims that her husband has behaved in a manner unbecoming of him – financially.


Hunter, she says, has “created financial concerns for the family by spending extravagantly on his own interests” during their separation.


Those interests include “drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, strip clubs, and gifts for women with whom he has sexual relations,” she alleges.


She also claims that the family (the couple share three children) has no funds to pay their bills because of Hunter’s continued spending. 



Kathleen further claims in court papers that Hunter instructed his office to reduce the monthly funds she received by nearly $ 10,000.


That was in October, allegedly, but even after he had curtailed his payments to her, he “secretly continued to spend lavishly.”


All the while, “complaining to Ms. Biden, through counsel, about the financial issues of the family and Ms. Biden’s spending.”


Kathleen goes on to claim in documents that Hunter had $ 122,179 of their marital income transferred into his personal bank account.


The money was gone, she says, in “less than two months.”


She claims that the family has maxed out its credit cards, owes numerous outstanding bills, and has incurred a tax debt of at least $ 313,970. 


She is requesting Hunter be provided only a $ 5,000 a month allowance, and that she be given $ 20,000 a month, according to reports.




Beau Biden


Hunter Biden’s attorney responded, “Hunter and Kathleen have been separated for some time and are in the process of finalizing a divorce.”


“Hunter loves and admires Kathleen as a person, a mother, and a friend. He hopes their privacy can be respected at this time.”


The couple married in July 1993 and separated not long after Beau Biden (above) died in 2015 following a battle with brain cancer.


This week, Hunter announced that he and Beau’s widow, Hallie, have become involved in a romantic relationship of their own.


“Hallie and I are incredibly lucky to have found the love and support we have for each other in such a difficult time,” he said.


“That’s been obvious to the people who love us most. We’ve been so lucky to have family and friends who have supported us every step of the way.”



The former Vice President and wife Dr. Jill Biden also said in a statement that they are aware of the relationship and support it.


“We are all lucky that Hunter and Hallie found each other as they were putting their lives together again after such sadness.”


“They have mine and Jill’s full and complete support and we are happy for them,” Joe and Jill said of their son and daughter-in-law.


Beau Biden died of brain cancer in May 2015, a fact that is believed to have led to the decision of Joe Biden not running for President.


Hunter and Kathleen split in October of that year, five months after Beau died. They have three daughters, Naomi, Finnegan and Maisy. 


Beau, the former attorney general of Delaware, and Hallie have two children, a daughter Natalie and, confusingly, a son Hunter.

Band Members Sell Own Sex Tape For $5 After Some Perv Steals It

The members of YACHT, an L.A. musical duo, are selling their own sex tape after they claim that someone stole it and posted it online.



To be clear, Jona Bechtolt and Claire L. Evans, who are also in a romantic relationship, would prefer no one actually watch the video.


But, if you must, do not watch it via torrent. “We beg of you to download the video, Louis C.K.-style, directly from us,” the duo urges.


The sex tape, they claim, fell into the wrong hands “due to a series of technological missteps and one morally abject person.”


“Claire and I, who have been romantic and artistic partners since 2006, made a ‘sex tape.’ It was intended for us only.”


“We don’t feel the need to justify the reason we made it.”


“Anyone reading this who has been in a long term partnership understands that preserving the relationship is an ever-changing and challenging thing.”


“It’s especially difficult when the lines between career and romance are as merged as ours are.”


“The financial pressures that we’ve been under, which de facto extend into our extracurricular lives, created a circumstance in which we felt like we needed a bit of an escape from the day-to-day.”


“So we turned on a camera, became naked, and had sex.”



“We assumed that we were the only people who would be privy to that video. I guess we were naive. Now you have the option to be privy to that video.”


“For us, that’s a shame.”


“We feel like art is an act of generosity. The art we make for the public is for that expressed purpose.”


“And now we’re in an awkward situation where the art that we made for us and us alone is being viewed by anyone who has the inclination to hit play.”


Following a “true and humiliating blurring of the public and private,” the couple claims it initiated legal proceedings against the person who stole it.


In the meantime, they add, “our hope is that you fundamentally understand that choice and you choose not to view a private act that was inadvertently made public.”


“We hope you understand that this is not a delicious scandal. This is an exploitation.”


Evans and Bechtolt then noted that they posted it themselves, on a site where it’s available for purchase: “This video is out there now.”


“We can’t change that. But we can try to be ‘as YACHT as possible’ about it and take some kind of ownership over what has happened.”


“So we’re asking you one thing: if you feel like you 100% have to see this tape, don’t stream it on some tube site, or download a torrent.”


The site where the video can be purchased reads:


If you’re here, it’s because you want to see a sex tape made by Claire Evans and Jona Bechtolt of the band YACHT.


That’s okay – we’re not here to judge.



A video that we made privately has been released to the public. We have commenced legal proceedings against the individual who made it available without our consent.


That said, we don’t have any illusion that this tape is ever going to vanish completely from the internet. Instead, we’ve created a platform for you to purchase and download the video directly from us.


If you absolutely must see this video, we ask that you refrain from downloading it from a torrent, or streaming it on a tube site.


Controlling how this video is seen, and who profits from it, is the only form of agency we have left over this exploitative situation.


Please do the right thing. Thank you for your support.


With love and respect, Claire and Jona


While profiting from amateur porn is not new – see the Kim Kardashian sex tape – the band’s tactic reflects an understanding of the marketplace.


It’s also refreshingly honest compared to, say, certain people trying to tell us that the Farrah Abraham sex tape was “leaked” unintentionally.


Plus, these two are totes in love! Kind of makes you want to download the thing and open a nice bottle of wine with your partner, doesn’t it?


Wait, was that out loud?

Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 14 Recap: JoJo Steals the Show

On Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 14, Abby Lee Miller welcomed back an ALDC Pittsburgh veteran, Sarah, to dance with the team.


Tempers also flared hard … real hard. 



The crux of the tension on Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 14? Kendall Vertes walking out of the Abby Lee Dance Company studio.


For the second time in as many weeks.


How did we get there? In “JoJo Steals the Show,” Abby Lee Miller announced that Maddie Ziegler and Vertes will have a duet. A big duet.


At the New York Dance Experience.


The best friends were so hyped to do a routine together, but Ziegler’s mom Melissa Gisoni told Abby that Maddie would miss a rehearsal.


With Maddie Ziegler leaving Dance Moms, this wasn’t a surprise, but immediately, Miller second-guessed her decision about the duet.


Shortly thereafter, with Maddie unavailable, Miller asked JoJo Siwa to step in. Would JoJo rise to the occasion save the day for the ALDC?


Yes … but there was a big twist coming.


During practice, Miller realized that the duet was actually more of a solo, as the two dancers didn’t have that much interaction at all.


As such, Miller gave Vertes and Siwa the chance to show her their version of the dance, with Abby Lee picking the winner accordingly.


Ultimately, Siwa got the nod and the solo.


Miller then asked Kendall why she’s not performing as well these days, and Vertes’ response was that Ziegler won’t dance with her.


Following this altercation with her coach, Vertes got mad at Miller and peaced out of the studio; Ziegler’s mom was there to comfort her.  


Miller clarified that she didn’t really take the routine from Vertes, but rather “Kendall gave JoJo that solo” by not elevating her performance.


JoJo, in any case, was laser focused.


How did she do when the pressure was on? Follow the link above to watch Dance Moms online and see for yourself from start to finish.

Nathan Griffith Steals Jenelle Evans" Car For The Strangest Reason

With a 7th season of Teen Mom 2 definitely happening, Jenelle Evans has fans fired up about the trouble she’s causing.



First, we hear that her mother, Barbara got into a fight with Evans’ boyfriend, David Eason, to the point where the cops had to be called to the house.


Evans was allegedly doing her makeup in the bathroom when Eason and Barb got into it, forcing a call to be made to the cops.


“Kaiser was never taken from my house… I was in the bathroom doing my makeup to go to lunch with my mom,” Evans tweeted after the incident.


“Kaiser was in David’s arms and she kept yelling so he asked her to leave and she didn’t… Simple.”


Evans then later tweeted another update, teasing fans about Teen Mom 2′s upcoming season.












Then, on January 23rd Evans took to Twitter to accuse her ex, Nathan Griffith of stealing her car while she and Eason were in Miami.


Here are the series of tweets, captured by Starcasm because it appears that Evans deleted after the fact.


“I cannot BELIEVE you stole my car while I was gone,” she tweeted.”


“I get it.. U wanted all of kaisers stuff to prove in court u ‘bought’ him [Kaiser] things.  Thanks for taking the stroller.”


It went on…


“Thanks for taking my property that’s in my car, would call u but got scared when that cop called and shut off your phone.  damn thank god I took the car seat out and left it at home, u should buy one.. Not like you ever have.


“And u know what, you can have the f–king car becuz you ARENT getting me arrested again.”


Griffith lost his license after more than few DUIs, so Evans wondered who helped him with the heist.


“you STILL don’t even have a drivers license LMFAO,” she wrote.
