A businessman who attacked a helicopter in a fit of rage after it landed outside his £1.2million flat and tried to hang on as it took off laden with passengers was imprisoned for one year today. Maybe he can get some excercise now.




Quote from the article:

Houshang Jafari, 58, was ”livid” when the private Jet Ranger blew debris at his Land Rover as it landed in the extensive gardens shared by luxury flat owners in a converted manor house just outside of Bristol. He ‘’stormed” towards the chopper and threw a green plastic bag full of chicken bones towards the rotor before trying to open the pilot’s door, then held on to the skid bar as the aircraft took off. Pilot Dr Mark Blokland and his three passengers feared for their lives after 140kg Jafari pulled at the helicopter’s undercarriage causing it to pitch to one side. Property developer Jafari was convicted of endangering the safety of an aircraft and yesterday sentenced to one year in prison at Bristol Crown Court. Judge Michael Roach said: ”You were convicted by the jury of recklessly endangering a helicopter that was flying on the 21st of May last year.
