Jumbo Jet with F16 Right on Tail Panics New Yorkers
2009-04-27
Cick on the link. You have GOT to see the picture at this link! Over New York after 9/11/01 this sight would definitely scare the witts out of you if you are in New York City.
A jumbo jet being chased by a F-16 fighter jets buzzed Lower Manhattan this morning, panicking New Yorkers, many of whom were forced to evacuate their office buildings.

It was not a terrorist attack, however, but a photo opportunity for Air Force One, sources told the Post.

#7  My guess, and it is only a guess... is that it was a test of some type of air defense system. No one simply crews up the Air Force One back-up bird, grabs a figher escort, and goes low-level over NYC. It just don't happen that way. This business about Barry being "very upset", WH Press Secretary Gibbs and the Mayor of NYC having "no knowledge" etc. Sorry, not possible.

#2  "Why the Defense Department wanted to do a photo op right around the site of the World Trade Center catastrophe defies imagination.

This was no "photo op."

#1  Guess the Obama administration forgot to tell the New Yorkers that we're officially returning to a Sept. 10th mentality.

Quick! Update the teleprompters!
