NTSB: Plane Crash Might Be Intentional

AP/NTSB

[My Favorite Headache]

Man flew plane into IRS Building after setting his house on fire in Texas.

Software engineers are quirky but not as weird as Unix or Domino/Notes admins...

Maybe the IRS was going to seize his house, too, so he tourched it believing the insurance company would deny the claim ,hence, giving the IRS less in the end.

If so, why burn your own house.

Well, you burn down your own house so that the IRS won't get their paws on it after your successful suicide attack on the IRS building. It wouldn't surprise me if a nutter who was also a tax cheat would be in trouble with the IRS.

Pity that he left a wife and child behind. How horrible that he would burn down his family's house with his family still inside.

Regardless, even though it's too early to tell what happened it's looking less and less likely that Mr. Stack is some jihadi SOB.

Wonder how O will use it..

[worst-case scenario]

You don’t think that it was more likely to be a man losing his home to IRS action?

[Carley]

Did he have a bomb on board. This is much too much fire for the amount of fuel on that small plane.

Pilot name confirmed as Joseph Andrew Stack.

[Carley]

Wife and daughter rescued from the burning house.

Mohammad jihad!!! ;-)

Most likely an “IRS is illegal” nutter. There is a group that does not understand that the income tax amendment was ratified by the required 38 states, and is therefore LEGAL.

If they’re now targetting the IRS, I might not be as outraged as I otherwise would.

 

 

Yeah Baby! Get some! Wheeeee!

 

Uh....I mean....uh....how could he! </ fake outrage>

You sayin’ UNIX kills?

Expect a LOT more of this if Obama gets his way on health care. The Obama Junta has the medical fees payable calculated on the basis of your income and your assets as recorded by your tax filings,and the IRS is also the medical bill collector ( extra-ordinary powers of asset seizure).No more inter-agency IRS privacy.

I 'd say this sort of thing will beome common if the IRS start seizing sick peoples homes to pay medical bills.

Its that socialist redistribute the wealth thang you know. How is that hopey -changey thing workin out for yah???

[Vigilanteman]

Did he tell them where it was parked?

“I’m guessing that the the guy probably just saw the bottom line on his 1040, decided to cash in his chips and take some Treasury slobs with him, and torched his house in advance to make sure the Infernal Revenue Service couldn’t get one thin dime out of him, even posthumously. “

I just did two years tax returns for a guy who’s wife was his bookkeeper for his business... She stole all his money, ran up huge credit card debts, left him for another guy, and now filed for spousal support. He’s facing a huge tax liability for the money she stole from him. And we wonder why people take drastic measures!!!

No, UNIX and Linux are good stuff. Just saying that admins are a little...ahem...out there.

But not as bad as Domino/Lotus Notes admins. Talk about holding onto a technology with your last dying breath.

I’d have an annual BarBQ on the date.

"...Normal people don't fly planes into buildings..."

Ordinarily.

But I imagine that at one time it was said that "Normal people don't throw cases of tea into the ocean".
