Prankster posing as ATC, uses walkie-talkie to order Argentinian aircraft to takeoff
As part of a prank, a private pilot in Argentina used a handheld communication device to give instructions to active aircraft at the Jorge Newbery Airport (AEP) in Buenos Aires. (www.gatechecked.com) المزيد...How did the actual active ATC not notice?
He told the pilot to disregard the previous order and sent the police to look for and arrest the individual.
Eight years is not enough. This should carry an attempted murder charge. Lock him up and throw away the key.
I agree with you Ric, that act could have easily been considered terrorism as further actions could have caused a crash.
