And one source tells us aircraft have been hit at altitude 35,000 feet. The approaches into new yorks airport, in fact, most commercial airports in this country are over neighborhoods at a few thousand feet.

A record pace this year averaging 15 strikes a night. Nine in dallas alone but there an arrest. A 23yearold suspect facing prison. The light from even these store bought lasers can travel more than four miles.

Nikki replied, she says she wasnt talking about taylor directly. I didnt use your name so im not talking about you, but theres not anybody else she could have been talking about here.
