–Air Force One Scares New York–
I’m not sure what was going through the mind of the U.S Government when they decided to do a photoshoot that resembled 9/11, but if they thought that this stunt made sense then we need to go back to the drawing board about who we put in charge.
The funny thing about it is that President Obama didn’t even know about it and was furious when he found out. The flyover, which involved an F-16 jet tailing a Boeing 747, occured in Manhattan and Mayor Bloomberg didn’t know either. Someone from the Whitehouse notified the NYPD, but told them not to notify anyone else. The plane used was an Air Force One Boeing 747 that President Obama actually uses. This has to make you wonder why they tried to keep it a surprise. If it was no bog deal and was just a harmless photoshoot then why not inform everyone? They kept it a secret so there must be a good reason why. don’t you think?
“For a half-hour, the Boeing 747 and F-16 jet circled the Statue of Liberty and the lower Manhattan skyline near the World Trade Center site. Offices evacuated. Dispatchers were inundated with calls. Witnesses thought the planes were flying dangerously low.” That is just insane! They made people stop their daily routines for a big misunderstanding.
“But the flyover was nothing but a photo op, apparently one of a series of flights to get pictures of the plane in front of national landmarks. The exercise involved an F-16 escorting the plane, a Boeing 747, over Battery Park City and up the Hudson River. Some reports quoted an administration official who said the purpose of the photo op was to update file photos of the president’s plane near the Lady Liberty.” I know i’m not by myself when i say,” They couldn’t have just used Photoshop?”
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg says that he was furious that the federal government flew the planes near Ground Zero. That was extremely risky business. He says the flyover so near the World Trade Center site showed “poor judgment” by our government and was insensitive. He says he is furious that the NYPD and another city agencies were notified last week, but did not tell him.
If he had known, Bloomberg says he would have tried to stop it.
They’ve gone mad!
Wow that was incredible rude… that must have really scared people I hope someone gets in serious trouble for that stupidity.
Yea, i hope so too
