Laser pointer accused faces court
An overseas student has appeared in court accused of shining a laser pointer at a Qantas aircraft as it neared Adelaide.
Irfan Bozan, 26, of Salisbury East in Adelaide´s northern suburbs is charged with prejudicing the operation of an aircraft.
The offence carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
He also is charged with acts to endanger life.
Bozan and another man were arrested at Victor Harbor, south of Adelaide, on Sunday night.
It is alleged they pointed a laser at the aircraft and at passing cars.
Bozan´s lawyer said his client thought the laser was a toy and did not think he had done any harm.
Bozan did not apply for bail and his lawyer said he required an interpreter.
He said Bozan was a Turkish student in Australia on a student visa.
Bozan was remanded in custody until next month.
A 28-year-old man from Parafield Gardens is charged with the same offences and will appear in court in September.
anything surprising here?

Only in American....
Top 3 Lawsuits:-
THIRD PLACE
Amber Carson of Lancaster , Pennsylvania because a jury ordered a Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113,500 after she slipped on a spilled soft drink and broke her tailbone. The reason the soft drink was on the floor: Ms.Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.
What ever happened to people being responsible for their own actions?
SECOND PLACE
Kara Walton, of Claymont , Delaware sued the owner of a night club in a nearby city because she fell from the bathroom window to the floor, knocking out her two front teeth. Even though Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the ladies room window to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge, the jury said the night club had to pay her $12,000.....oh, yeah, plus dental expenses. Go figure.
Ok. Here we go!!!!!
FIRST PLACE
This year´s runaway First Place Stella Award winner was: Mrs. Merv Grazinski, of Oklahoma City , Oklahoma , who purchased new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU football game, having driven on to the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver´s seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly,
the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner´s manual that she couldn´t actually leave the driver´s seat while the cruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her, are you sitting down? $1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this suit, just in case Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy a motor home.

AE - this is hilarious. How come there still are broke people in the US if it´s so easy to get money? From rags to riches now has a totally new meaning (and Grazinsky does sound Polish, doesn´t it?)
From now on I will not laugh at user´s manuals saying that wearing a superhero costume does NOT give you super powers or that after heating something in a microwave, it gets hot...
