I'm watching a PRACTICE RUN of a jet intervening a small bi plane
Edited on Thu May-27-04 09:53 AM by soleft
It looked like a crop duster and there was something coming out of it, my hands are shaking


On Edit - that's what building security is telling us now. They knew it was going to be happened, apparently there's going to be some terror drill at the Statue of Liberty and they were doing a test run.

WHAT IDIOTS!!!!

I apologize for being an alarmist, but everyone on my floor was freaking out.

7. My friend is watching it now, it says it's part of fleet week

We're both in buildings in lower Manhattan, I saw the planes heading North going along the East River, a bi-plane with smoking trailing it, and a larger plane that looked like an airforce plane practically touching it, looking like they were going to collide.

My friend who watched the planes go over the harbor said they're doing aerebatics over the harbor - what kind of bullshit is that - I don't know what's going on right now, I only know what I saw.

The planes were right on top of each other over the East River and there was smoking coming out of the bi-plane

9. If they can go after a crop duster
makes you wonder how come they missed the second and third hijacked airliners, doesn't it? (Think they might have hit the fourth one.)

When neocons needed a 'Pearl Harbor', the USAF was made to stand down. When they need headlines about success in the war on terr-a,and a diversion from their dirty laundry, they make sure and let the birds go up.

LIHOP then MIHOP now.

Keep us posted and thank the military for good pilots who are allowed to do their jobs!

11. It may have been a training exercise, that's what some here think
It looked like a small bi plane trailing smoke, and a larger plane, that looked like an airforce jet was on top of it, practically touching it as they headed north along the east river over Brooklyn.

My hands have just stopped shaking now.

13. Remember all those stolen laptops???
Uniforms? ID's and badges? Weapons? Then your building security says it's ok-it was "planned"???

Sheesh...USAF again...Maybe they are working with Wally Hilliard and Reverend Falwell's private air force...:tinfoilhat:

14. I just saw a copy of an Email from the NYPD
To undisclosed recipients advising that there would be an air show today and that one of the planes WOULD HAVE SPECIAL EFFECTS SMOKE COMING OUT OF IT.

I am so incredibly pissed off that it has come to this, that Bush had managed to turn me into a babbling bundle of nerves. I'm still coming down off the adrenalin.

Edited on Thu May-27-04 10:41 AM by comsymp
Has * farked things up so badly that we expect the Red Baron to join forces with AQ? What's next, killer dirigibles?

Better stay vigilant, and be on the lookout for a flying doghouse...
