It reminded me that there was an item in the news last night about a power-parachute enthusiast colliding with the Statue of Liberty, but being able to climb to safety, leaving his flying machine draped over the torch holding arm. So let's hear some opinions, should the perpetrator get a citation, or a medal? #39475 - 08/25/01 01:26 AM Re: urban hang-gliding   Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 4,189 WhitmanO'Neill Carpal Tunnel WhitmanO'Neill   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 4,189 Rio Grande, Cape May County, N...
