yesterday a federal 747 flew around lower manhattan with a couple of military fighter jets in tow. needless to say we new yorkers were, uh, PANICKED.
is that how you spell 'panicked'? well, we were panicked, as the last time a big plane flew wildly around lower manhattan was on september 11, 2001. needless to say it brought back some really. really. really bad memories for just about everyone living or working in lower manhattan.
it turns out it was the defense department trying to arrange a photo shoot for air force one with the statue of liberty in the background. the defense department official who arranged the photo shoot, louis caldera, made a huge mistake in thinking that a gigantic plane flying wildly over lower manhattan wouldn't lead to a million people panicking and reaching for industrial strength xanax. he has, apparently, apologized.
it does raise 2 questions:
1-did they really think that a gigantic plane flying around lower manhattan in the middle of the day wouldn't perhaps remind a few million new yorkers of september 11th? and
2-haven't they heard of photoshop? it's a little worrisome to think that the department of defense, who control about a trillion dollars a year, don't know that you can use a computer to make it LOOK like a plane is flying with the statue of liberty in the background without actually having to HAVE a plane flying with the statue of liberty in the background.

9.11 should be remembered for all, i just wanted to say that we will always have these bad memories in our heart..and it was cruel to act this way...
By the way, I usually buy brand watches and handbags on the internet, but none of them are high quality. One of my friends said that these items sold on the internet are just imitations of the real ones. So, where can i get a real Chanel handbag or some high quality replica watches sold in this website ?

Why am I writing?
I'm a fool and lessons shall be learned. Maybe silencing myself is best. This invitation to write creates chaos of opinion. I deserve no reference as I still battle my woes. I hear mocks of regret. We'll certainly keep track of you so we can watch you frown. Moby I shall stick my head into that therapy and watch my head. Can you beleive it? There's more to life than this. I was knocking on a door wondering if anybody was home, instead of barging I should of just let it alone. But when your objective is to reach them-- I don't belong here. It was just a lesson. War. Silly girl. Lessons from War Correspondents. We need you.
Panic struck
Gee man that's scary for every one and the panic shows that people haven't forgotten anything about 9/11.

hi everyone. I have never
hi everyone. I have never respond here, but this issue was very unusual to me. maybe because i'm from Russia and i see the world from completely different side.
Actually i can't fully understand your reaction. of course it was terrible, i mean 9/11, but life goes forward and people should not always live in the fear! - it seems so!

On Human Suffering
We're remaining neutral because reporters have no idea what love is about. What a hoot. What a hoot. Natasha Brinsko was only trying to express her desire for her soul mate to be at Omega but she got knocked down. It was impolite for leaving without a goodbye. She had spirits in the room spying on her so it lead to paranoia. She doesnt know anybody who died except Paul Salopek on 911 and I don't think he was ever a friend. We are remaining neutral because we are bruised. --
It's just that If she never met Paul Salopek would she still be at Omega and not be labeled with schizo-affective? Would she have met someone of her dreams? We're grateful with the SSI but it feels like Black Mail. What we hear spirits so we're schizo now? With resepect to Darfur and all and if you're trying to win Nobel Peace Prize, at least you could do is apologize when someone who loves you is trying to get your attention. It's just that on 911 I should of not said anything.
It's the act of moving on when the conclusion will never do. It's not love, it's more like emotional abuse.
My thoughts and prayers were with *you* & all New Yorker's Mo
That news was so alarming to me. Oh my, I'm very sorry *you* had to go through that. Big Hug. Kisses Better xxxx

oooo
@>-->--
wow
this post pretty much reflected what everyone's thinking, but the last item about Photoshop is priceless. wow? you're right, and it makes me think, ARE they really that clueless, or is "photo op" just an excuse for something more perverse. i certainly hope not, but they've...um....let us down with their lack of honesty in the past, haven't they?
amerrycaca and the rest of the shtworld
Hm...is space travell available for broke civilians?Or is there some sort of volunteer program for going to some other galaxy as test subject or somth like that.They say there's water on Mars...it's fine by me there. I won't have much luggage...just some records, my little player, instruments, my pets Csocsi and Mocsi (they fit in small bags and don't do too many stinckys) and bottle of lemonade. Day by day this world becomes more and more comic and by now i must have completely lost my sense of humour. Look to the West and see stupefiction, look to the East and see retardation, look to the south brrrr and look down to the North and see destruction.I look around and...hmm...maybe i'm crazy. Yeah, maybe I'm the crazy one...I must have lost my mind that's why it all looks like this. The last time i laughed involunteerly was with a headset on and eyes tite shut.Yeah, must have lost my mind since something beyond my constroll keeps shouting in my head that this can't be us...PEOPLE! I've seen hienas careing more about each other. Animals rarely shitt in their own home.

What a way to be informed
So I have this personality of a five year old and I burst out in rhyme. I know I took a Journalism class, but it's like -oh it's a joke ( rat Race). So yea I wrote Paul Salopek on 911 my you pissed me off goodbye note as as you will remember me- I can't compete with telepathic reporters and just call me a rookie but If you ever need a giggle I can write a poem. Thank you Thank you Holy men and gals I see you in Argentina and I get a smile. I heard someone is doing a piece on Genocide and there's a girl with this statement- "I know I'm mentally disabled because I can't think on my own." Thanks US Treasury. I need to find the right doctor to say I'm in LA la la land. Vision board time.
Thanks a lot telepathic reporters.
oh dear
No disrespect to all you Americans but we have a saying "...only in America..."
Why didn't they announce it over the radio for all the local residences? Media sources when used correctly are a great source of information. What about the local news stations beforehand? Emails are ok to a select few.
What a truely distressing time for you all I do feel for you as we experianced cruel memories courtesy of the London Bombings...
Good point
I think that heard it on the news beforehand, but I was in the kitchen. If anyone thought it was a bad idea, no one ever told me.
once again, our government fails to look sensitive to our specific needs.
It's taking them some time to realize.
I doubt this was the president's idea. But whosever it was- they're on drugs.
WOW!!!
can we say numbnuts!!!
That was cruel...
that`s good that they notified people from these buildings..but they should have told to the people from the simple houses near, so they won`t be afraid...because i know this feeling..there were some terrorist`s attacks in our subway..and i use subway twice a day,every day..and everytime the train stops between the stations i think:"oh no,not again!"..besides we had attacks at houses (bomb explosions)..and i remember this time very well..we woke up and knew from news that at night one more house was attacked..and every night when we went to bed we said each other "bye",because we didn`t know which house will be next..and all these happened not during the war..but during the peacefull time in Moscow!!! i just wanted to say that we will always have these bad memories in our heart..and it was cruel to act this way...

wtf
it's really stupid and incomprehensible
a "fake photo" made with photoshop can be more beautiful and it's cheaper to "buy a computer, photoshop and a camera" than "flying a boeing and two jets"...
these mens should be punished for making NY people afraid and making pollution for nothing! :/
