Got to commend the flight attendant who fought this guy off. It cant get much scarier than having a nutter attack your head with sharpened stakes.
Of course the silliness doesnt end when the plane lands. That piece in 'The Australian' obviously came from the color-by-numbers school of journalism. Its an example of why they had to give away free copies of that paper last year in order to keep the circulation figures up. Channel Nine also maintained its proud tradition of being the proverbial blunt object by going to the airport this morning with a crew and interviewing a line of passengers with the question ' arent you afraid?'. They cut that session short when it became apparant the passengers werent really appreciating the moment.
