Don't buzz your EX

Tha video...........sucked, and didn't really show much of.......well........anything.
 
Assuming the restraining order was issue at the county or state level, then can they really do anything about it? I mean only the feds "own" the air, with their own rules and such, right?

It will probably be an interesting legal case if he decides to pursue it. A restraining order specifies a specific distance, but does that mean vertically as well as laterally? It's hard to imagine that he would have been any kind of threat to her from the air.

Should have interesting implications for those sharing office buildings.

Planning, follow through, "craziness"

2 of 3 negates that argument.

9/11 - airliners. Correlation FAIL.
Florida crash - no one else injured. Correlation FAIL
Incomplete story link FAIL (appears no one on the groun injured)
Buffalo crash - airliner. Correlation FAIL.
Texas crash - no one on ground injured. Correlation FAIL
In the Cory Lidle incident only one in the apartments with any serious injury.

1/6 - 16.7% success rate. Overall attempt to make a point: FAIL.
 
Admittedly, small planes have an energy problem against all but the softest structures. However, the non-airliner crashes listed probably involved a the pilot reducing their impact speed as best they could. Great exception is Florida which was into an office building probably designed to survive a DC-3.

Wrong. If you do something prohibited by state or local law while in the air, you don't get a pass just because you happen to be flying a plane at the time. IOW exclusive federal jurisdiction is "of" the airways, not "in" the airways.

I wouldn't even say any of them succeeded. I don't know of any instance, airliner or otherwise where someone has successfully targeted and harmed a specific individual.

This example is the only one I know of that comes close, and even that was a complete failure.

All of those were threats.

BTW, in the Indianapolis story, the wife's daughter was kidnapped and in the plane that crashed into the wife's mother's house. The child was killed. If that isn't a threat, what is?
 
Old age is also a threat...heck, baby chickens can be a threat...

Sorry, not a threat.
