SEATTLE – An airline employee “conducted an unauthorized takeoff” of an airplane without passengers at the Seattle-Tacoma airport in the northwestern US state of Washington late Friday, airport officials said on Twitter.
The aircraft “has crashed in south Puget Sound,” Sea-Tac Airport said, adding that normal operations at the airport had resumed.
Alaska Airlines on Twitter said the airplane was a turboprop Q400 airplane belonging to Horizon Air.
A few of the users posted Video on social media showing the plane being chased by fighter jets, before it crashed.
