On August 10, 2018, Richard Russell, a 29-year-old Horizon Air employee, hijacked an empty 76-seat plane from the maintenance area where he worked at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The FBI concluded that Russell acted alone, died by suicide. Russell's final words before he died were, "I'll go nose down and call it a night." The plane crashed into the ground of a remote island in the Puget Sound... Rest easy Sky King.
