A student of Sydney University was fined 10,000 dollars after threatening to blow up a plane due to a three -hour delay.
22 -year -old Andre La Guardia was at Sydney International Airport on December 19, and when he released on Instagram, he caught a flight with his family to fly to the Philippines:
Instagram showed the interior of a plane containing passengers.
Instagram abolished the task to violate community standards and warned the Australian Federal Police (AFP).
Without an incident with La Guardia, he allowed him to enter the Philippines after talking to the police at the destination.
However, when he returned to Sydney on January 17, an interview was interviewed and accused of threatening aviation security.
On Wednesday, he met the Downing Center Local Court and was found guilty.
His lawyer Paul Meehan argued that his client would not follow the threat.
Andre La Guardia was fined 10,000 dollars after threatening to fly a plane because of the delay.
“This was an expression of disappointment by a naive young man who definitely learns his lesson, Me Meehan said.
Peace Judge Greg Grogin said he would imprison La Guardia, but that the law only decided to fine the crime.
“Something, especially a plane, is absolutely incredibly stupid and unacceptable to argue that something,” he said.
‘If there were a term of prison, Mr. La Guardia will be sentenced to a prison sentence.’
Magistrate Grogin admitted that La Guardia accepted the accountability with the police, early criminal defense and an apology letter to the court.
Apart from the court, La Guardia apologized to the planes and said he regretted their actions.
The maximum penalty for threatening aviation security is a fine of $ 16,500.
AFP Sydney Airport Police Commander Davina Copelin said that everyone who threatens wandering safety will be calculated.

Detective player Copelin, “ This event, threatening aircraft or airports should serve as a warning that may face a heavy cost, ” he said.
‘Threats can cause significant loss of resources and time for airlines and in the airport area. They also endanger the safety of the members of the people, the airport employees and the officials who need to investigate the incident thoroughly. ‘
