This is fucking nuts.  It's a sad story about a man at his wits end and deciding to end it all, but what a fucking way to go!  The radio chatter is humorous if you can set aside the reality of what's happening in his mind.  My first question was answered, which is how did he even know how to get the thing off the ground.  Doing a barrel roll was nuts.  While acknowledging the seriousness of this poor man's state of mind, it's definitely one of the coolest suicides of all time.

What did he tell the tower when he was queued up in the takeoff line?  Surely they noticed a non existent flight number.  Unless he knew enough to pretend to be dead heading the bird back to another focus city where it was needed in relief.

Surely they realize what a case precedent this sets now. 

Them: "Uh folks, this is your captain speaking.  I'm a 4-bar, left chair and I've been told to sit tight and wait our turn.  Looks like it's gonna be about 45 minutes or so.  Thanks for your patience.  We'll get some Frescas and pretzels out to you directly."  

Us:  "Really, 'cause shithead got to skip the line and he had the qualifications of me playing 1993 flight simulator on a fucking DOS machine!"

I was at the Pearl Jam concert at Safeco Field that night and saw the story on Twitter during the show. The thought of that dude flying by the stadium did cross my mind.  Some people posted that they saw the fighter jets fly near the stadium. Crazy!
