F-15's Scrambling Over Reagan National Airport in DC

3 F-15's scrambling overhead in attack formation.

General direction over the National Cathedral...

[sphinx]

For 280 million people?

Put shelters in the building codes and wait. That's how the Swiss did it. Of course, if we wanted to do it in a hurry, it would get expensive.

I have a sign on my tornado shelter that is reversable and says bomb shelter on the other side. When threat is high during thunderstorms I have to stop and consider the consequences.......:o)

Stay Safe !

This close to the ground?

[cinFLA]

General direction over the National Cathedral...

[bray]

Were they flying fast? Oh that's right they're F15s....never mind.

Pray for GW and the Truth

[ffusco]

probably meant that they flew by in a group and not one after the other in procession

'93 WTC bombing was on Feb. 26th. Wasn't that the anniversary of the end of the Gulf War or something?

[codebreaker]

I am going to the basement now to take a nap...this is the double anniversary of the WTC Bombing and the Gulf War surrender?

[Dukie]

I thought about that too. Only three .... sounds like the "missing man" formation.

[Woodman]

"Space Moosen" you fool...

[tracer]

By golly, you are correct!! My mistake. I pray that nobody sustains paper cuts, though......

[aristeides]

I think tomorrow is the double anniversary.

[codebreaker]

Looks like we are on 'unofficial alert' status for 2 days.

[Timesink]

Sorry. For a moment there I had a touch of the .... SPACE MADNESS!

[The Turbanator]

There must be heavy international traffic today as everyone heads home from the winter games in SLC. I would imaging that lots of packed flights from SLC have been heading to Dulles and JFK all day. It would only make sense to increase the security level today.

I don't think the Olympic attendees would make any blip on the normal ebb and flow of people entering and leaving the country. And besides, most would exit from the west coast. Russia, China, Japan and even Scandanavia are better served from the west coast in terms of distance form SLC

Well we know shelters have been built for the only people our beloved Congresspersons give a rats a$$ about. Guess who?

[codebreaker]

75,000 of them?
