Car Chase!
Car chases are about the best thing on television out here in SoCal. But it looks like they got us beat in Cyprus.
Control tower workers raised the alarm after seeing a car speeding under parked aircraft at Larnaca airport on Cyprus's southeast coast.Right out of an action flick, huh? The amazing thing is that generally, when they finally apprehend the guy, it usually started over a broken taillight of some such nonsense -- but this Cyprus incident "takes the cake."
A Cyprus Airways jet which had just landed had to change course to avoid collision. "The car was heading straight for us," the pilot said.
The man was being questioned by police, who suspect he was fleeing after being caught taking cookies from a nearby bakery.Those must have been SOME cookies.
