White House Evacuated [Update- reason still not clear, evacuation over, people return inside]

Fox News Alert

[Blue Screen of Death]

Michael Jackson's private jet flying low and fast enroute out of the country?

[Tree of Liberty]

No, Fox is STILL just speculating on the aircraft thing. All the Secret Service has said is that the evacuation was due to an emergency situation.

[snopercod]

Yes, absolutely, since "bad things" can happen, let's outlaw flying, driving, and congregating in public places in America.

Everybody stay home and watch TV, then we'll all be safe.

It is a good practice/drill for the White House. You never know when it could be a real attack, and I HATE THAT! God Bless everyone in the White House!

[mhking]

I hope we scrambled.

We did - apparently that's how they figured out that it was a "mistake."

Better safe than sorry...

[areafiftyone]

CNN is saying there was no evacuation. How wierd is that?

[buffyt]

ROTFLMAO !

[prairiebreeze]

Wonder if the congresscritters were quaking in their boots...

The protesters in Britain made a statue of Bush .. like the statue that was in Bagdad of Saddam

FNC reporting now the staff is being allowed back in

[Kieri]

No intrusion and the staff is being let back in the White House.

One of these days when something really happens, we're going to be immune to these events :(

[William McKinley]

ROFL Now who is the one overreacting?

They evacuate a building and maybe scramble some planes, and you liken it to a call to outlaw flying, driving, and congregating in public?

Holy non sequitor red herring strawman souffle!

[buffyt]

I would never know what CNN did unless I read about here, I skip that channell. Commie News Network.

[abnegation]

Fox is now reporting that the FAA told them there was NO plane.....so the saga continues.....

[Petronski]

FOXNEWS: FAA says there WAS NO intruding aircraft.

[snopercod]

LOL! Jacko's on his way to Greece.

[mhking]

Reuters (via FNC): Staff let back in; FAA says no aircraft incursion.

They're saying everyone is on pins and needles behind the Turkish attacks.

[PISANO]

Simple solution: CHANNEL BLOCK CNN!!

[hellinahandcart]

White House evacuated: No reason given

There was no time for explanations. That funnel cloud was bearing down hard.

[CarryaBigStick]

Oh Geez, I wish these idiots would wake up and stop violating the Washington ADIZ. It's been there long enough that there's no excuse for not knowing about it. The stupid actions of a few are giving many good pilots a bad name.
