Stolen passenger plane in Seattle crashes with only pilot on board

In one of the stranger stories of the year, an empty Alaska Airlines Bombardier Dash 8-Q400 passenger plane was stolen by a ground agent at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. F-15 fighter jets were called in to monitor the situation as air traffic control attempted to talk him down. SeaTac authorities later confirmed the plane crashed with only the pilot aboard.
