Where are the cameras on the other side of the building? Someone said there are no doors on the side of the building in view. Rescues would be on the other side of the building.

Someone on CNN saying four buildings in complex.

The two planes that were being expected to arrive at area facilities, have arrived safely. IOW, the flight is still unknown.

No flight plan filed (my question)??

The media is reporting that this is not an act of terrorism because Barack will call it an “isolated incident” or something like that. The media hates to retract statements.

7 stories... is a high rise in Texas. We don’t claim to be NYC or LA. We are Texas and have lots of space for these type of buildings. Some need to stop their stupidity.

Top of the hour news on the radio just said there is no airport nearby

They don't know Austin. There is an executive airport about 5 miles NE and a small general aviation airport less than 2 miles due E of this spot.

“Weather was beautiful this morning. No clouds to deal with...”

Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

Too familiar. Can't quite place where I last heard it though...

ABC reporting top of the hour that Homeland Security has already determined it is not terrorism related.

The threestoogesness of their image is complete.

If they have radio chatter between the pilot and a tower then I will believe the “not terrorism” news reader lines. Until then anything is possible.

Doesn’t make any sense at all for the plane to have been put into the building unless it was intentional. Lots of room around the building. Putting it into the surrounding trees may have been fatal, but chances of survival would have to have been higher.

Probably more. At the same time, this is a rather pathetic attack if it is one.

Why not hit downtown Austin?

Hitting some off-the-path building is stupid.

“Scanner audio indicating that the FBI has taken over investigation and interviews of witnesses”.

Ruh Roh, look out witnesses, here come the Men in Black. Look at this light!

They hit a building with IRS offices. That’s pretty targeted.
