Obama will be announcing 19 new initiatives regarding Helicopter Control. The insanity must end.

It’s a good thing this didn’t happen in beijing yesterday, as it might have been mistaken for a factory fire or an alien invasion.

There was an initial thought that this was a terrorist attack aka 9/11.

However, it is definitely an accident.
