People seem to be getting crazier by the day and this US guy's weird stunt is proof.
This gutsy guy, who is apparently an airline employee, stole a plane from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Friday night. Just as if, stealing an entire plane wasn't enough, the man took things to the next level.
He attempted to perform stunts in the air, then went on to crash the plane, because he was being chased by two fighter jets!
Insane is the word!
Sea-Tac Airport tweeted, "An airline employee conducted an unauthorized takeoff without passengers at Sea-Tac; aircraft has crashed in south Puget Sound. Normal operations at Sea-Tac Airport have resumed."

Fortunately, there were no crew or passengers on the plane. Phew!
