Low flying jet over Manhattan

[DavidS]

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??

That's messed up. They should have made sure every media outlet anywhere near NYC started distributing this info DAYS in advance.

I'd have headed for the ground, that's for damned sure.

That's a 747 at least. I can't believe how stupid these people are.

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.

Dumb.

I think even a few in the Obama-media would shake their heads over this...

 

[DiveCon]

wait a minute, i thought all liberals didnt believe there was an actual terrorist threat?
why would you panic about this is you dont believe its possible?

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.

 

[Xenophon]

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?

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

 

[Indiana Oracle]

It will be interesting to see what the decaying MSM does with this vis a vis our newly minted homeland security rocket scientist. Not much would be my guess. But if that guess is wrong The Prophet takes another step in the wrong direction.

 

[Sinatra]

Drudge has a report on it.

It was an Air Force One photo op.

And frankly - this is idiotic. If it is actually part of some 100-day advertising stint - it is deplorable.
