Insane Attempted Plane Theft Ends in Big Crash [VIDEO]

Here's something you don't see everyday: a man attempting to steal a plane from the airport and using reverse thrust -- typically deployed to slow a plane down after landing -- to drive the plane backward, then crashing into a terminal. This all happened at the SkyWest Airlines home base airport in St. George, Utah, back in July, according the news site NYCaviation.com, but the astonishing video of the incident (embedded above) just became available on Thursday.

The plane "sheared its right wing into the terminal, plowed through the perimeter fence and collapsed its nose gear before taking out six cars and coming to rest in a ditch adjacent to a car parking lot," NYCaviation reports.
