Mayhem broke out in a Long Island courthouse yesterday after drunken-boating charges against an air-traffic controller were thrown out — and his lawyer and pals started throwing punches at reporters covering the tragedy that took the life of a young girl.
The family of victim Brianna Lineck was outraged at the prosecution's decision and left the proceedings in Central Islip early rather than see Steven Fleischer walk out of court a free man...
Suffolk prosecutor Nancy Clifford asked Judge Glenn Murphy to drop the charges against Fleischer because no booze was found in his blood.
Fleischer initially refused to take a Breathalyzer test and cops were not able to get a warrant forcing him to do so for four hours.

I'm not a boater, so how do boats collide like this unless there's some negligence?
It's not as if there's lanes that the boats have to travel in.
