| #8 Frank, meh. The U-2 has a top speed of mach 0.67, hardly worth a tower flyby. Now, if they did it in an SR-71... |

| #6 No ECM so just a computer bug. Yeah, what Tiny said. Sounds like the software spit up due to the U-2 being so far out of the normal flight parameters. Way to code, guys! |

| #5 U-2? ER-2 run by NASA more likely. No ECM so just a computer bug. They should teach college students about the dangers of using small integers.... |

| #4 I wonder if the system had a recent update that now needs another update? |

| #3 Air traffic was halted, but the experiment was a total success. |

| #2 So, we assume this is the first time a U2 flew over the area to trigger the bug in the computer? |
