Please tell me he was trying to fly to Lollapalooza.

The attempt occurred on July 4 so no Lolla!

I'm sorry. I don't remember what happened to the kid who stole a plane in Pacific Northwest. When it did happen?

Is it just me or did the part about "as soon as he looked up Police immediately recognized him" resonate with others as well?

Anyone the Police knows THIS WELL, probably shouldn't be out on the street. Jail or an Institution are made to house people like this until they get help.

Wow! I cannot not believe this! He went to the Bahamas. So he crashes a plane into the ocean and the Bahamas police who has already arrested him and they had sent him back to US. He should be in prison for life.

Is it me or did the Colton Harris kid seems to struggle with *landing* the planes that he stole? From that Wiki story, it looks like he crashed at least a couple of them. Apparently he was never injured badly enough that he couldn't escape the crash site...

I think it may be WHERE he decides to land. I'm not sure if he actually landed at airports.
