So true, 9X19. The gov of Kansas (now headed to join the cluster dance in Washington) tried to transfer toll funds from the independent Kansas Turnpike authority to DOT, undoubtedly to be able to use another "slush fund" to offset his asinine tax policies. Perhaps by divine intervention, it was not approved and the Turnpike remains the best stretch of highway in the state.
SR & VE - perspective be damned. The very idea of throwing anything at a landing aircraft that is incredibly stupid regardless of object angle/height/yadda yadda. Wonder what the anal orifice will try to throw next time?
Let's see - he had already boarded with consent of the airline; he entered the aircraft with the full knowledge and assistance of the boarding agent; he had an assigned seat duly recorded in the airline's database; and the last I checked, sitting in an assigned paid-for seat is not any form of attempting to "secrete" himself.
This was assault of the most egregious type and I hope UA gets sued for and is forced to pay at least one million dollars PLUS attorney fees.
