    Jesus Christ, are they f***ing crazy??? WTF were they thinking??? Was there nowhere else they could do a photo op like this? Insanely insensitive.

    .... or why the government "had" to spend tens of thousands scrambling a couple of F-16s and the AF1 backup, rather than use Photoshop.

    Still waiting for an explanation as to WHY it had to happen on a workday, rather than on a weekend when Wall Street and Jersey City are 90% less occupied.

    The Air Force pull some bullshit like this in the early morning hours of 9/12/2001. I remember that after a whole day and night of fear and sadness, Manhattan residents were awoken at like 5am by a sonic boom, courtesy of the U.S. Air Force. Later we were told that they did it to "assure" us that they were protecting us.


    These people really don't understand what's it's like to live/work in a place with a big target painted on it.

    I'm sure it must have been scary for the peeps who were down there, but these just look like pictures of an airplane to me. From my apt. window, airplanes often look this low compared to the buildings.

    Turns out Jack Bauer left a comment on a WSJ story explaining the whole thing:

    "I apologize for what happened. I was saving NYC from some terrorists this morning, and things got out of hand. CTU should have better coordinated a cover up with DC. I will try and be more careful next time."
