Evacuation of Capital now! (Update: FNC: White House Secret Service gives all clear signal)

Fox News

[pitinkie]

Capital and WH being evacuated.."full running evac"

[TheBigB]

Fat or otherwise, it's hard to run in high heels.

Tell me about it...

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Plane diverted to Fredrick, Maryland, per Fox.

Bush and his motorcade are not yet returning to WH.

[tgslTakoma]

LOL! They'd never elect me in Montgomery County, MD. This is enemy (limosine liberal) terrortory.

[pitinkie]

Just heard that too

[TomGuy]

A small plane packed with C4 could easly take out the White House.

Yes. And Jihadists would love any size of attack against the WH or Capitol Hill, just so they could brag that they were able to hit it.

NBC News: F-16s dropped four warning flares in front of Cessna.

"Lautenberg complaining that a fat woman couldn't run. There has to be a better way, he says. Ban fat women (and men) from the Capitol."

Or conduct a running evacuation once a day. :)

[Miss Behave]

Wrong picture, Big Joe. You posted the pic of the plane that Cankles was riding in when she farted.

[Quix]

Any sane people left in our government?

Any left in the whole DC area?

But then . . . who sane would go into our government at this stage of our . . . slide.

Sigh.

Fat or otherwise, it's hard to run in high heels.

Yup. Which is why I keep sneakers in my desk. 22 floors is a long way down in spiky heels.

[Sabatier]

Coordinating an evacuation from a building isn't the issue I was commenting on.

[drwiii]

Throw the Cessna pilot in the can. His little foray cost millions in lost government worker time.

That's what, 3 seconds of lost work?

[grace522]

DC Guard F-16s were in CAP and targeted on TOI. Diverted Cessna w/ flares and escorted to local airfield. Dumb / new pilot without a clue. Confirmed.

[Nexus]

Can't wait to hear what Hill has to say. Doubtless she would have coordinated everything better, prevented it from happening, and baked cookies at the same time.

Yep, just like how the Clintoons prevented that Cessna from landing in the lawn of the White House a few years back :)

[paul51]

Pick a number. 50 mi. 100 mi.whatever. The point is, don't let light aircraft of this type takeoff in the vicinity and that will reduce the possibility of them straying into the airspace around the WH. Is that so hard to understand?

[bert]

.....I heard Sen. Lautenberg say that the Senators have no "plan" for this type of evacuation.......

Apparently he didn't get the evac plan memo........wonder why?

[Not A Snowbird]

FoxNews: Cesna was diverted to Frederick, MD. (About 50 mi. nw of Washington)

They should make the pilot walk home from there.

[mhking]

Any sane people left in our government?

Precious few.

[CitizenM]

Lautenberg complaining that a fat woman couldn't run. There has to be a better way, he says.

Segway escape devices for all fat persons? I can see Congress funding it.

Hmmmm was that woman Hillary?

The 1993 WTC bombing by similar Islamonazis was met with no major security response.

The 1995 OKC bombing WAS met with a major security response and demonization of "right wingers". Bill Clinton ran that right into a successful re-election when he appeared to be a one term president.

American security was never a goal of the Clinton administration. Who would the left have blamed if Gore had been president in 2001?
