          At this point I should note that *some of these are out of order*. This is a chaotic process with multiple people noted above sending me timecodes and me racing to get them transcribed and uploaded.

          That's it for me for tonight. I will try to compile these tomorrow. If anyone finds any other clips, you can fire them my way and I will tweet in the morning.

          I hope this was helpful, and that I didn't contribute to anyone's suffering. Once again, if anyone is in need of someone to speak to, here's one number you can call: 1-800-565-3801

          I don't have a soundcloud, and new followers, I'm sorry to disappoint but plane joyrides aren't my usual beat. I work at @thenarwhalca covering the Arctic, and just this week joined @maisonneuvemag too. Please check out those great publications for non aviation related stuff.

          This is the first time I hear his voice on the recordings, (pointed out to me by @bennnettwc). Hard to say exactly what he is responding to, but he claims to be a "ground service agent."pic.twitter.com/0VOsD1TW2A

          I've compiled all the clips of Rich speaking to ground control from last night, in order. It isn't a complete picture, because much of what was said has been lost. But hopefully it's a useful picture of the sequence of events. https://youtu.be/X50N4YndsXk  #seatac #seatacstolenplane

          I think you can hear the overspeed warning going off in the background of this one... presumably had just come out of the roll/loop (explains the puking) and was way overspeed. I’m amazed he didn’t over-G the wings
