COMMENTS: Death by F-16 Plan Fails
ABC's Ryan Owens told us the sad tale of Adam Leon, a 31-year-old mental patient from Ontario, who apparently wanted to commit suicide but did not have the courage to do it himself. His plan was to get blown out of the sky by the United States Air Force. He borrowed a Cessna and with "no flight plan, no explanation" flew across Lake Superior into US airspace. Sure enough F-16 fighter jets intercepted the small plane--but held their fire. Some five hours later, almost out of fuel, the plane touched down on a rural highway in Missouri. No harm done.
