You would think there would be some kind of backup system controlling the nation’s air traffic.

Not the kind of headline you want to see. Flashbacks of 9-11.

How well I recall that day.

Our school is about 15 miles from Air National Guard 711. They were the fellows who took to the skies and protected our east coast directly after the attacks.

For the next three days every time we heard planes flying overhead, the whole class would become completely silent until it passed over.

They were armed fighters

It is strange the mods don’t think this is worthy of breaking news, maybe if we added the word caylee,DNC or michelle to the title, ya think maybe then?

Faulkner of FOX said she was speaking to the office of the FFA and to a person she has spoken to many times before and Faulkner said she could hear the “fear” in her voice. Told Faulkner to get back to her in a few minutes and now the lady at the FFA is not answering her phone.

This is the more likely scenario:

"Get off the da*n phone with that stupid a** reporter and get back to work or you are fired, I've warned you about this before!!"

That’s what I was thinking. What if someone nukes Atlanta? I guess we kiss air travel goodbye for a few years.

There’s a sidebar panel of most recent articles (breaking, front page, extended, etc...).

I have logged into FR at times when I’ve been out of town, etc. to catch up on headlines just looking at the sidebar.
