Stowaway Bodies Found After Three Days In Gear Well

Authorities in Colombia say an Avianca A320neo likely flew around South America for three days with the bodies of two stowaways in a gear well. The airline said it found the two, likely teenage boys, on Friday night when the plane went in for scheduled maintenance.

People really need to stop doing this. You never get a free ride to America. Instead you get either crushed by the landing gear when it retracts, frozen to death, dead from hypoxia, or in some cases, probably all three.

Mississippi Man Faces Prison Time For Targeting Aircraft With A Laser

Good work here by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation:

On Aug. 11, a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation aircraft overflew Hardeman County with surveillance cameras and “almost immediately began reporting laser strikes originating from the south and southwest of their position,” according to the agency. With laser-like accuracy, the cameras “pinpointed an individual standing in front of a residence,” where they saw him pointing the laser at aircraft inbound to the airport. Agents dispatched on the ground observed the man as he pointed a laser at an incoming aircraft. They later found a green laser pointer in the front-yard trash can of the house.

The suspect admitted that he had been targeting airplanes for several months, and now faces prison time and a stiff fine.

Pointing a #laser at #aircraft is not only illegal it is really stupid and dangerous.
