Air Force One over Manhattan

Hola out there,

this is my very first blog entry ever! So please be gentle ;)

This entry also covers my Moment of Zen. Here it is:

Last week Barack Obama's aircraft, aka Air Force One ( AFO ), was sighted over Lower Manhattan. It was accompanied by two fighter jets of the US Army. The fact that the AFO was chased after by two jets and that it flew extremely close over the skyscrapers made many New Yorkers think back of the 9/11 attacks. It luckily ''just'' turned out to be a photo - session.....RIDICULOUS! The population did not get informed about this event. The only ones who knew about it was the NYPD, some D.C. politicians and the White House Military Office Director, Caldera. Obama had no clue what was going to happen. This lack of information, in my view, is totally inadmissible!!! But anyways, that's not what I'm aiming at in this entry. What I am really concerned about is the question: How could one have not ''warned'' them. People saw the Twin Towers collapse...they saw people die and suffer in the ruins. Why wouldn't the ones in charge not simply tell the people...?

Well, nothing happened but don't they bear a certain responsibility over the people who are still traumatized by the attacks 8 years ago???

Check out the following link for a video showing the AFO flying close over the skyline:

Feel free to comment on my entry...what do you think about what happened in NYC?

  1. Yea it was a pretty huge blunder on their part. Although, Obama wasn't the one who approved it and he wasn't onboard or nothin. It was this d-bag White House Military Office Director, Caldera. An idiot move, but one which will be forgotten in a week's time. Just one for the blooper reel, IMO.

  5. Well, one the hand I think that there was definitly a lack of responsibility . When the population doesn't get informed, of course there will be fear and panic. But on the other hand I think that many people exaggerate in always referring every happening back to the 9/11 attacks.
