Not sure what is going on, but I'm watching Fox News and there is a fast run evac in the White House and the Capital Building. They're showing live fed where people are running and there's military planes flying over head, which is a no fly zone. Update: The FAA is tracking an unknown plane at this time. Update 2: Ha! Seems that it was nothing, that some plane flew into the no fly zone and didn't contact anyone about it. Well, at least those people who were running got a workout from this, (edited by Anya on 05-11-05 04:11 AM) (edited by Anya on 05-11-05 04:14 AM) (edited by Anya on 05-11-05 04:18 AM) |

Why is it when stuff like this happens, my first thought it "we have modern technology, shouldn't there be a way to prevent stupidity of this sort?" | |||

Pfft, I was about to reply, and I saw your second update right before I did. I was going to say, "I'll bet you $100 it's nothing at all." (Two of many of) the problems with this Bush administration is that they've made the American public super-paranoid and they're overprecautios about EVERYTHING. The Freedom Towers have temporarily been halted because they're "Too close to the road" and are "Susceptible to carbombs". It's fucking RIDICULOUS. Should we never build another building? Fly another plane? We need this dickweed and his bullshit out of office ASAP. That's all I have to say. |

Well, whoever that pilot is, is a f'ing dumbass. The news is saying that he first flew into the airspace, then out, and then back in again. They should have just shot at the plane for being so lame. He had better have a good reason as to why he did this. Drunk maybe? Celebrating Cinco de May a bit late? | |||

But he was flying a small plane - not a jumbo jet filled with enough fuel to take him overseas. And he wasn't flying a fighter jet. How much damage can a small plane do? Not even as much as a loaded tractor trailer. Yes, the pilot was stupid. But the security precautions are garbage and serious overkill. |

If he was celebrating something, did he have to do it right there? Either he wanted to visit the President or he wanted to play with the Airforce. "But the security precautions are garbage and serious overkill." No shit, they |

I'll take the Cinco de Mayo argument, after all he's only 6 days late. Maybe a bender does that to you. But seriously... If it's a small plane and if they don't think it's a major threat, then why not just run an operation in the air without forcing terror alerts and everything? Plus from what I'm reading, they just forced it out of the zone - they didn't force it down. *rolls eyes* |

I woke up and my mom was telling me about this. Something kinda funny. I heard the military were shooting shots near the plane to warn them. Im glad noone was hurt. | |||

Well, at least we know how well organized they are in case of a major securtiy crisis. Hmm, if only I had jet fighters and black hawk helicopters to guide annoying neighbours and salesman away from my house.... |

How much damage can a suit case do? Fill it up with live samples of weapons-grade anthrax spore with an airator unit to distribute into the atmosphere. Then you'll find out. |

A plane flying near the whitehouse? this is a bit suspicious.. I see thy the military would react like that. | |||

I like the little factoid at the end of Three Kings. Anyway, our F-16 pilots and the people who give them authorization to fire did an excellent job. They didn't jump the gun and a needless kill wasn't attained. I don't know what happened to the pilot after this, but if I had to guess I'd say he lost his pilots license. |

I heard he was a student, actually. Though that doesn't entirely explain it. Hell, I bet it was someone causing a distraction, so they could sneak back in after the evacuation and nobody would notice they were late for work. |
