was this maybe a really bad idea or what????
...in the very city that was devastated on 9/11/01, a government "photo op" that was simply to take some pictures for press purposes, scared thousands of people.
The whole event was staged and wasn't even using the actual Air Force One, but a substitute 747 was winged by fighter jets and buzzed by the Statue of Liberty and other downtown New York sites as photos were being taken.
"the flight.. came in as low as 1000 feet to 150 feet above the city as it made a large circle over Manhattan, Staten Island, and New Jersey. The plane used was the back up presidential plane.
"It scared a couple of million people," one airport official said.
"Needless to say, everyone was concerned and upset..and
...led to hundreds of frightened calls from residents and workers in Lower Manhattan..
Self-evacuations of buildings in lower Manhattan and New Jersey, including the New York Mercantile Exchange, took place during the fly over.
"Other offices on other floors fled the building in panic...
The plane was "really close to the ground and banking hard and 'seemed' like it was heading for the Goldman Sachs building "
