I don’t know about Texas, but in Alabama anything over two floors it’s called a high rise.

Seconds before the second plane hit the second tower, an NTSB official was on CNN saying they believed the cause to be an ATC computer glitch. Seconds later, she shut up.

NTSB/FAA responding and gathering information.

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

Camp Mabry, you mean? That's probably about 5-7 miles south of there.

I used to work in the building right next to this one.

I know that there's an IRS office in the building that was hit if I'm not mistaken.

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

I can think of a lot better targets than this so I'm thinking no...

from the extent of the fire, it looks like the pilot may have had some kind of accelerant on the plane. A small plane like that should not cause a fire that extensive, imho. It looks like the fire spread 100’s of feet horizontally to me, which seems unusual.

Yes, it looks like the whole interior is ablaze. A "small plane" like a Cessna 182 wouldn't do that. It must've been a larger aircraft, maybe something like a Gulfstream or Learjet.

"Let's keep our eyes on this one, folks. This is a common "hit" method, if you can read between the lines. Are Bev Harris, Michael Moore and Bill Maher accounted for? How about anyone about to testify against the Bushista Regime? Too bad that this was my very first thought."

Oh they learned, they don’t want the “backlash” against muzzies to start. Can’t have “diversity” being a “casualty” of this incident.

So, they spin, deny, twirl, flip around, do whatever it takes, but keep the citizens ignorant.

Don’t justify their fears with any evidence of the facts that this administration is not capable of suppressing terrorism on U.S. soil.

How many “non-acts” of terrorism have we had on U.S. soil now that the 0 has been in charge? How many under the previous administration?

Seems to be the building next to the one housing the FBI. However, they are so similar from the air, if this was targeted it could have been the FBI.

With the hit in the center of the building, it was on purpose or the pilot had absolutely no control (whether conscious or not.)
