    Yeah sure, wait till this thing miss-fires into someone's eye and blinds them.

    Sometimes people with to much money think they are above the law.

    Besides, If 20 guys with 20 cameras are all pointing at the boat i doubt it can hit all 20 indefinatly at the same time.

    um...guess his addition to his yacht was no help since this photo of his boat was able to be published. I would install a laser guided missile launcher..more effective take out the camera and the photographer then no one can complain

    It's a 4:20 flight - I imagine folks will have the munchies. Because, you know, that's a long flight, kind of.

    @RainyDayInterns: They probably won't though, if the eclipse is only 3 minutes there may be enough time for the plane to make a 180 degree turn but you are losing a bunch of time you could have spent looking at the eclipse. It's probably more efficient to just only have one side looking at it.

    @Purple Monkey Dishwasher:

    Don't forget that a jet is also fast enought that it can almost stay with the eclipse point as it moves over the earth, thus prolonging the view of it. I can't imagine that they would not plot a course that would allow both sides of the plane to view it.


    The aisle seats would be a drag though!

    @Purple Monkey Dishwasher: True, but if you turn 180 degrees, you will be going away from the shadow's motion, instead of going with it.

    Can you even consider someone that rich to part of humanity? I mean seriously...5O00 sq.ft for a bedroom, on a DAMN boat! WTF?. That is just so over the top stupid. The cost of that .boat. is more money than a handful of third world nations combined, what the hell are these money grubbin titans thinking about. Do they live on the same planet?? I bet this piece of shit runs on a mixture of raw oil and the blood of babies.
