IIRC, there is a small Army air field there from the good old days. Is it used for GenAv?

I forgot about that one, I'll check to see.

seems the pilot aimed at the absolute middle of the building. Not at one end of the other, but the part which is stick out most. Very unusual. Could be a disgrunteld worker or a Jihadi, have to wait and see. Joe Biden may be eating his words soon after his argument with Cheney on Sunday.

"Good link, although they seem to be more worried about the major traffic problems than the people still trapped in the building."

Actually the Austin Chief of Police is probably in the office planning on the next gun show carck down.

IF the pilot was Amish, there goes private aviation. Those planes are killers.

yep- I was watching FOX and Friends live when the 2d plane flew across the screen

Before that, with the helo circling Tower 1, there was all kinds of inane chatter and speculation. The moment the 2d plane flashed across and hit Tower2, they all went silent.

FBI just announced this was not an act of terrorism!!!!

There they go again. Didn't they learn anything from the Fort Hood and Christmas bomber attacks? This is not a high rise building. Why was the plane flying so low?

Wasn’t the word in the past couple of weeks that we’d see an attack here within the next six months?

This may not prove to be one, but the administration was saying that just recently.

Good link, although they seem to be more worried about the major traffic problems than the people still trapped in the building. I kid you not.

And that poor reporter near the scene has asthma.

Looks like the Dem administration has succeeded in properly emasculating the FBI then. Guess this means it’s a mohammed-terrorist rather than any other group. Prepare for a cover-up ...

Is that in the flight path to any nearby airports? I saw Kittle Hill Airport to the north. What else is in the area?
