A crazy loon. The plane was too small to bring down the skyscraper. Shows you he didn't know the hell what he was doing except making a not too spectacular "final exit."

Well, your right, a small plane wont do much to big building BUT if flown into a school bus, a stadium, another plane...That plane should have been shot down.

Agreed my friend. If the kid had been more careful in his choice of targets we could have had a major loss of life on our hands. [shudder]. You're right there's NO EXCUSE for the plane not having been shot down.

That plane should have been shot down.

That also would be a no-win for the guard...it might have hit a home, a store, a school, a church, etc. and then the loony left would be shrieking about how the trigger happy military killed whatever number of folks as well as the poor misguided "youth".
