White House & Capitol Evacuated

[EagleRJ]

The aircraft was reportedly taken from a Pennsylvania flying club "without authorization".

Now there were evidently two people on board.

Parrots squawk, I guess airplanes should too.

This was probably something cooked up by Carl Rove. In the past, anytime there was some domestic problem, the threat level would go up. Since nobody goes for that anymore, they came up with this little ruse. Notice that the pilot sat in the front seat of the police car, it also looked like they took the cuffs off after he sat down. He probably works for the secret service. Now the news of United pension funds are on the back burner.

Also notice how an EMP gun was NOT used on the aircraft.

The terror alert level was raised to orange -- or high -- when the airspace incursion was first reported, and then raised to red -- severe -- when the pilot failed to respond to calls on his radio, McClellan said.

Our nation's capitol is about to be obliterated by a mighty 1200 pound C-150, but thank God we have someone with enough courage to stick around and raise the color levels.

We're so doomed.


CODE RED!!!!!!!!! DUCK AND COVER!!!!!!

I can't remember which channel I was watching when it was said, maybe MSNBC, but one reporter said the plane's "beacon transmitter was not squawking."

At that point, I decided to turn off the TV and read about it in the paper tomorrow.

I posted this on another forum, but might as well post it here too...seems to fit the moment, lol:

Anybody ever watch the Simpsons? Ever see the episode where Sideshow Bob steals the Wright Flyer and tries to crash it into a building, but instead it bounces off? Why does this episode come to mind right now? Hmmm...lol.

The Fox News said earlier that the Cessna 152 was doing " 125 MPH which is a little over 2 miles a minute. The cessna was 3 miles from the white house which means there was little advanced warning."

Wow a 152 which does 125 MPH, I want one bad...

But wait, my favorite scene was of the Senate or House(not sure which) were being told to evacuate, and the one guy (I guess the presiding officer) reaches around the curtain to retrieve his bag! This is the same guy that will try to grab his bag during an a/c evacuation! What a moron!!
