Muslim man gets 23 years for making a YouTube video (2011)

A friend of mine was in a McDonald's writing an essay on airplane software safety and a police officer asked him to leave. He had paid for a meal and was using the free Wifi. He responded "If I am not allowed to save this document a plane might fall out of the sky." to which he was arrested with a class C felony threaten with intent to terrorize. They kept delaying his trial for over a year and he had to make a plea deal to get out of jail. But he was in a manic state and didn't choose a good choice of words. He meant that he wanted to prevent planes from falling out of the sky with his essay on a document he was writing and felt the airline industry needed better quality software. This was after flight 370 went missing and nobody knew why.
