Low flying jet over Manhattan

[Sinatra]

have other presidents done this?

and tell me....wtf is he celebrating about his first 100 days? obama has a god complex....

It is quite remarkable to see the media-generated frenzy being created by Obama having reached the 100-day mark.

And yet, within this frenzy, nary a true look at just what this new president has actually accomplished?

Silence is golden innit?

Ellen in Bayonne, N.J. described what she saw to WCBSTV.com: "I saw the jet flying very very low over the Hudson river, it looked like it was going to fly through our office window. Then it banked sharply toward New Jersey. But our building was evacuated because it did this 3 times. A photo shoot should have been communicated to the building in the area. We haven't forgotten 9/11, people were in a panic, lots of rumors, not a good situation."

Good lord this administration of amatuers is astounding in its repeated lack of tact, consideration, or even recent historical perspective.

Perhaps because they don't view the attacks on 9-11 as serious, they were so idiotic in conducting such a ridiculous publicity stunt without communicating to the very people who went through 9-11.

I have said it before, and I shall say it yet again:

Obama is stupid.

 

[Xenophon]

BO was behind it!

That sonofabitch, he really does have his head up his ass.

My god watching that video sent chills - I can only imagine what New Yorkers were thinking.

This idiotic stunt should be THE LEADING STORY in today's news.

This administration must be held to account for this disgusting waste of tax payer dollars, and incredibly insensitive and blatant offront to New Yorkers - and all Americans who still remember the impact of 9-11.

nice going obama....

Stocks fell in New York trading after the plane was sighted at about 10 a.m. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index lost about 0.7 percent over 10 minutes, then recouped all of the loss by 10:20 a.m.

I just caught the tail end of the disucssion on Fox there's a press conference in progress and stutter mouth Gibbs was informed that Mayor Bloomberg was pissed.

There's a rumor flying around that it was a Photo-op of Air Force 1 flying by the Statue of Liberty to celebrate 100 days.

I was just about to say this was probably some Obama/Hillary Clinton photo-op crap. I can't believe they would be that stupid. On second thought, yes they would.

If this was a photo-op, not only is it a huge waste of resources during an economic recession, but a logistic cluster fu-k as well to have a low flying plain over Manhattan with fighter jets trailing it...

Good lord what a PR mess that would be.

Even liberal New Yorkers would be giving Obama the finger over this if in fact it is true his administration was behind it.

why do you assume it's a "photo op"? just because someone spread a rumor?

oh righyt... cause you're a wingnut.

idiot....he said "if" and all the news i have read said it was, so unless you have something different, stop bitching at people for simply reporting the news

The FAA called it "an approved military photo op." The White House declined to comment.

Statue of Liberty flyby startles New Yorkers

There's a rumor flying around that it was a Photo-op of Air Force 1 flying by the Statue of Liberty to celebrate 100 days.

That best NOT be the case - that would be a true Obamanation...

Wait for it; it will suddenly be alright!

Lemmie tell ya' something here - whatever the backstory is here, I want to find out. There is something called the Freedom of Information Act and I do have the right to know why the fucking hell they decided to take a backup plane for Air Force 1 and do some kind of photo op for it. I am STILL fucking pissed off right now.

 

[DavidS]

A photo op?

What a grand idea, the city that was hit by terrorist flown jetliners has a jetliner trailed by interceptors so someone can take pictures.

Do any of these people have IQs higher then an endtable?

Apparently not.

So about an hour ago, I heard on CNBC that a large plane was circling Manhattan escorted by Fighter jets. Of course any normal reaction was that scared the shit out of me.

Apparently I wasn't the only one.

WTF is wrong with these people? You DO NOT have fucking fighter jets trailing a large commercial jet that's like a 747 with quad engines over Manhattan without giving us massive warning notices. The unjust panic this caused today in lower Manhattan should really be investigated.

A fucking photo-op???

A plane circling Lower Manhattan escorted by two fighter jets is part of a “photo op,” said Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Jim Peters. The event caused some evacuations of office buildings in Lower Manhattan and Jersey City, N.J., on Monday morning.

Mr. Peters said the Defense Department is conducting a photo op that involves deploying two F-16s and escorting a Boeing 747 in the vicinity of Lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. He said the maneuver is not an emergency and was coordinated in advance with the FAA and state and local officials.

“They’ll do two or three spins… and be done by 10:30,” Mr. Peters said.

Kevin Chin, a 25-year-old IT analyst with UBS working in Jersey City, N.J. was in the building when his coworker Yumi Nishiyama snapped this picture (above) around 9:40 a.m. on her iPhone. “We didn’t know what was going on until later on,” said Chin, who did not evacuate the building.

Fucking idiots. WHO THE HELL DOES THIS??

Obama was out for a joyride; it was Air Force One.

Nossir. It was a back up of Air Force One. Obama was busy giving a speech at the National Academy of Sciences at the time. We know this because Drudge posted that Obama was yelling at the teleprompter.
