And it states it was being followed by the coast guard...

Here's more on the story....

what the heck was this kid thinking???? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Looks like he only broke a few windows. No fire, thank God.

Apparently he was a 15 year old flight student that did not have clearance to be alone in the plane as it was. Hate to say it but I wonder if it was suicide? Makes you wonder.

Possibly but maybe the plane gave out or he didn't know how to operate it correctly. But anyone up to the level of flying a plane should at least know how to steer it...

I tell you....things like this are KILLING me!

I'm in the USAF and these sort of things push us into this big heightened security. I don't mind defending this country but things need to change to prevent incidents like this one from sucking up all of our resources. Every little skirmish in every third world country has to be moderated by us. Quite frankly, I'm tired of it.

To top it all off, I went to high school in Tampa and my wife works for BoA!

Sorry...had to vent. :mad:
