I haven't noticed this brought up anywhere, which is surprising....
Basically, someone in the Obama administration decided it would be nice to have pictures of Air Force One flying over the Statue of Liberty. They apparently notified a few city officials -not the mayor- and also asked the people they did tell to keep the flight a secret. So, what people saw when they looked out their office windows was a 747 flying extremely low and right towards the city....
Many people were understandably scared by this, having lived thru 9/11 and thousands of them fled their office buildings in terror, fearing an attack.Corzine said the state is determined to learn more about the "photo op" that led thousands of workers -- still haunted by the memories of 9/11 -- to flee their high-rise office buildings at the unexpected sight of the huge, low-flying passenger jet over the Hudson River.
So who in the administration thought this was a good idea, and why aren't they fire?
Second, why do people get so worked up over executive bonuses and not over the government spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to get a nice photo? There's this new thing out, called photoshop- I know it's pricey, but I'm pretty sure it's cheaper than flying a jumbo jet around.
