   Guy in a jet-pack over LA

   Several pilots spotted a man in a jetpack over Los Angeles recently. The man   
   flew at an altitude of almost a kilometer, on an approach route to the   
   airport. The FBI has started an investigation.   
       
   The jetpack man was first spotted by the pilots of American Airlines flight   
   1997 from Philadelphia. They informed air traffic control that he flew less   
   than 300 meters from their Airbus A321. A short time later, the pilots of a   
   SkyWest flight also reported it.   
       
   It is of course very dangerous to fly with a jetpack at that altitude. If such   
   a person collides with an airplane, it will almost certainly lead to a serious   
   incident. The jetpack man is still being searched for. For now there doesn't   
   seem to be any trace of him.
