News Alert, single engine plane plows into building in Austin, Texas. Building houses FBI.

[prairiebreeze]

Eyewitness accounts to that effect will be discounted.

That picture is unbelievable. That fire spread very quickly.

[Interesting Times]

It’s remarkable how the authorities are able to rule out terrorism while the building is still on fire.

I worked in a building with FBI offices in it.....I have to say I had some scary thoughts in the elevator on some days.

.."i'm taking over this investigation"

[OafOfOffice]

If this is terrorism, there will be more today or they will lie in wait and strike once the fear is over.

Remember one small plane flew into a building right after 9/11 in New York?

Was it bin laden who said they would be striking our economic areas?

Paging Rosie!

Fire is melting metal:

[Blue Turtle]

per Fox News: FBI says it does not appear to be terrorism! LOL...are they insane? a plane goes into a building....what is the first thing you think of?

[Marty62]

When that plane hit the building in Fl. There wasn’t this kind of flames.

I seriously doubt any news reports at this point.

“federal building complex”

[Deo volente]

Wow, that’s quite a picture!

[Never on my watch]

I thought I heard the witness interviewed on FOX say the plane banked to the right into the building.

[Steve_Seattle]

The only reason to say for sure it isn’t terrorism is if a nearby airport had chatter from the pilot before the crash indicating a medical or mechanical problem. In the absence of that, I don’t see how the government can say whether it is or is not terrorism at this point.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

yup, they’ll be told they actually didn’t see what they saw, but instead saw something completely different that didn’t actually register in their brain..

[Marty62]

ntsb say it was not an accident

[Guenevere]

Just heard (from a relative who lives there)

..(anecdotal) that the pilot had burned down his house the night before....took this plane and caused this.

[cornfedcowboy]

Just curious, have many chutes from these planes been used and what is the success rate?

FOXNews

Set his own house on fire first.

[LibertyRocks]

Interesting... Thank you for the ping.
Prayers for all involved. I hope they don’t try to cover anything up and they tie up all loose ends on this one.

[OafOfOffice]

Fox News says, it looks intentionally flown into the building targeting IRS.
