Air Force One Flyby Causes Brief Panic In NYC
pdclarry writes "A Boeing 747 that serves as an Air Force One backup and two F-16 fighters escorting it caused a brief panic among office workers at the World Financial Center in lower Manhattan this morning, as large numbers evacuated the buildings. The incident was also spurred evacuations in Jersey City across the Hudson River from Manhattan."
How about an airplane flying very low around the statue of liberty, followed by two fighter jets.
Moron.
\u262D = \u5350
of fuckin' wussy people.
"HOLY COW! Here comes a plane flying near our wonderful New York City! It looks like it is going to hit a building! We better run for it!"
Come on!
Hey asshole,
It wasn't that long ago when two airplanes actually hit our buildings.
Come On!

Clearly Giuliani has had, no effect on you, he must mention 9/11 MORE!
IranAir Flight 655 never forget!
Yeah, but electing a guy whose name is slang for vagina was bound to go over poorly with the burka set.
However, sustained fire damage is what brought down the twin towers, not the direct force of the planes.
That's a good one. I suppose a couple of random fires caused by burning debris is what brought down Building 7?
I'm imagining this is what Rome was like in the final years, as the frontier crumbled and the barbarians road unmolested through Italy.
Then we are well and truly fucked, because the United States is actually the best off of the Western Powers and we are still wimps and wussies. Anybody recall the British sailors who got captured by the Iranians? Recall the one of them that went on TV crying about the ordeal? Your people survived the Blitz without breaking down and you as a trained member of the Royal Navy couldn't handle a few days of captivity by a neutral power that you weren't even at war with? WTF?
On the other hand there are still glimmers of hope. Flight 93 comes to mind. The Americans who took back their ship come to mind. I also recall an Italian guy that got captured by terrorists who executed him. His last words were "I'll show you how an Italian dies!" Got to respect that. I don't know if I'm ready to write the obituary for Western civilization just yet. Maybe we need to lose some of our wealth and creature comforts to remind us of the things that actually matter (freedom) and which are worth dying for.
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
Well, you should feel safe, unless you're a Brazillian, or a newspaper seller, or a small woman, or you've got a table leg in a bag, or...
Come to think of it, maybe you shouldn't feel safe.
Ah, the British Bobby, the best police in the world.
