This is your government on stupid
Thank goodness we have really, REALLY smart people in the White House right now. Because only morons would be dumb enough to fly a 747, trailed by F-16 fighter jets, over downtown Manhattan. The reason? So that Air Force photographers could take photos of Air Force One over the New York Harbor.
Relax, folks, just walk away. Nothing to see here. Just some boneheaded incompetence, courtesy of the White House.
Via the New York Times (emphasis added):
But the exercise – conducted without any notification to the public- caused momentary panic in some quarters and led to the evacuation of several buildings in Lower Manhattan and Jersey City. By the afternoon, the situation had turned into a political fuse box, with Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg saying that he was “furious” that he had not been told in advance about the flyover.
Apparently, Mayor Bloomberg was not even informed of the fly-over, which makes this whole thing even more insane. Who are the geniuses that approved something like this? And is it too much to ask that whoever allowed this to happen be fired? Idiots.
