All I was thinking was that someone on the back of a pickup usually climbs into the wheel well then wrestles the controls from the bad guy :@) |

Re: Seatac plane
What assisted this guy with getting to the runway so quickly and bypassing the usually very long line of planes waiting to depart was where the dash was parked, at the end of the runway in a cargo area and a very short taxi to the end of the runway allowing him to bypass waiting aircraft and was also likely why nobody noticed him but then someone in proper uniform working around an aircraft isn't going to raise flags either.
This sort of situation is almost if not impossible to prevent. The aircraft involved had gone on maintenance problem in Victoria, BC earlier in the day, and the flight was cancelled and the aircraft ferried back to Seattle without passengers. |

Those nearby noticed him pretty quick because he was weaving back and forth trying to keep it going forward and smoke was pouring from the wheels - I suspect he didn't take the brakes off at first.

Re: Seatac plane
I was talking about him pushing the the aircraft back then starting it up prior to actually moving.
Seems he was not noticed until he was actually on the go which would be expected really.

I don't think a remote over-ride system to disable an airplane will ever be accepted by pilots or passengers but do you think they need to get some sort of ignition id card to start them up? Escaped delinquents from reform school used to steal my friend's beat up old '57 Chev every weekend because it didn't need a key to start it. He was stoic about it, but it wasn't worth very much. It might take some time but the data recorder contents will kick this story back up when they're released.
