Laurel Man Crashes Gate, Boards Plane At BWI Marshall

A Laurel man is undergoing a medical evaluation after breaching security Saturday at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.

Maryland Transportation Authority (MdTA) police identified the man who crashed his car through a secure area at Signature Aviation as Andrew Kottke, 42.

According to a witness who declined to be identified, Kottke traveled far into the airport property before being stopped by police. The witness said the breach is more serious than authorities describe, and the man may have been on the loose in a speeding car five to six minutes before being stopped.

"He tried to make a run for it and they apprehended him," the witness said. "It's quite disturbing. You have many people who have families or children, as I do. Anybody could have gotten hurt anywhere around that vehicle. Nobody knew what he was doing it just seemed crazy."

Doesn't this fit right in in the daily madness we see everywhere? Idiots with nothing better to do than try to push the boundaries of acceptability? This is just business as usual now because all the mental asylums are closed. Isn't it time for us to reopen them so we can get back to some semblance of sanity in our culture?
