Rock n' Roll Doggie
Did anyone else witness the debacle that happened in downtown NYC this morning?
I was standing on the top floor of a building in the financial district in Manhattan when a 747 flying no more than a few hundred feet off the ground came from the south straight towards us. When it was over the southern tip of Manhattan it took a HARD banked turn towards NJ and there was an F-16 fighter jet tailing it.
We thought it was a hijacked plane, but then it took two more loops and it was flying so low we saw it was painted like Air Force One.
The turns were too violent for Obama to have been on the flight, but we did not know what the hell they were doing.
Meanwhile they did this stunt about 5 blocks south of the WTC Ground Zero site. It was absolutely ridiculous and a bunch of buildings in NYC and Jersey City were evacuated.
The planes basically did a very low fly-by of downtown and then headed straight towards the Goldman Sachs building in Jersey City before climbing right in front of the structure.
The military apparently told the NYPD it was going to happen, but then ordered them to keep it silent (the mayor did not even know.)
This was fucking crazy and insensitive as many of the people who saw this witnessed 9/11 first hand as the WTC is in the same neightborhood.
Totally insane - did anyone else here see this?
