The Associated Press

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) - A man armed with an assault-style rifle opened fire on a helicopter landing in a residential neighborhood, thinking the chopper was carrying terrorists, police said.

Helicopter pilot John S. Sutton landed his helicopter July 13 at the home of businessman John Peters to pick him up, police said.

John Chwaszczewski, a semiretired construction worker, became alarmed when he saw the chopper swoop down over his garage, about a block from Peters' home.

"Maybe I overreacted, but I did feel this was terrorism at its utmost," Chwaszczewski said.

Chwaszczewski told police the shooting was "a natural reaction," after having watched the events of Sept. 11.

haha did he think they were on a suicide mission to crash into his house?

Hah.. whatever.. people here freaked out when I used the word terrorism to refer to DOS attacks. I can hardly get upset at the guy for freaking out on helicopter that landed in his neighbourhood after nearly hitting his house.
