It seemed to be a private plane--entered (no fly zone). It turned around then re-entered. NORAD statement expected soon...there seems to be a 'lack of co-ordinated activity'. This is something we should have learned since 9/11.--FOXN
re-evaluations of procedures (or lack of obeying them) due at homeland sec. expected (ibid.)
poss. that the beacon transmitter may have failed. there was concern that if a plane were hijacked, the hijacker would have found a way to disable the beacon so they couldn't be detected (again, security erred on side of
caution) (fox n again)
Now people are seen flowing back in to the direction of the Capitol.
Maybe it was a "drill" after all.
I was listening to that comment also. The woman said there needs to be better coordination so that people know why they are being evacuated. Does that really matter? When the information is starting to come in, I would not care if they told me to get out before they had all the details to tell me. That could be too late. Immediate notification is better, IMHO. Who cares about waiting for them to have all the details. I would rather bolt out the door to safety and then find out why.
