Just because not everything has to involve politics...

This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

I want a Mario Kart now! :joke:
I agree, we need a break from politics more often. Stupid people never cease to amaze me. A man flying at an altitude of 3,000 feet wearing a jet pack, was spotted by an airplane that was in a landing pattern at LAX airport yesterday. :shock: :cuckoo:

The FBI is investigating reports that a "guy in a jetpack" was seen by pilots flying near Los Angeles' LAX airport nearby to where planes were landing.
The incident, which was recorded by air traffic controllers, happened on Sunday evening and was witnessed by pilots on two separate planes.
The apparent culprit was seen flying at an elevation of 3,000ft (915 meters).
Jetpacks, once the realm of science fiction, have become a thing of reality in recent years, according to experts.
"Tower, American 1997 - we just passed a guy in a jetpack," the pilot of American Airlines flight 1997 from Philadelphia told officials in the control tower as he approached LAX around 18:30 local time (01:30 GMT).
"Were they off to your left side or right side?" the controller responds, leading the pilot to say the person was 300 yards to the plane's left.
Within a minute, a pilot flying JetBlue Flight 23 also reported seeing a man fly past. As the controller advised the pilot to be cautious, he added "Only in LA", according to LiveATC.net, which records air-traffic control transmissions.

Pretty cool as far as the mario stuff but it is also sad to see they had to barricade the Washington Square arch and put security guards around it to keep it from being targeted again by statue rapists.
