Fox News

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

[TomGuy]

FoxNews: Plane has landed. Pilot in custody of MD State Police. FEDs en route to airport. [hehehe]

This pilot/guy will need a change of clothes, for sure.

[Miss Behave]

Love your tag, Big Joe.

And B, just say no to wearing high heels. We've been through this issue before.

[RightField]

I just heard on FoxNews that the pilot landed in Maryland and the pilot is in Federal custody.

"Any sane people left in our government?"

Not since the late 1800's.

But it can be fixed.

I have read some spoilers.

I think we can assume this was an idiot rather than a terrorist. Wouldn't a terrorist have let himself be shot down and cause some ground damage rather than abandon the mission?

[mhking]

Oh man, why do you make yourself watch that crybaby?

Masochistic tendencies, I'm afraid -- that plus not being able to suffer through Lautenberg's b*tch-fest on FNC.

[Dadofmany]

That is what i'm thinking. Could be they want to see hiow well we react, do this enough times and people could get lax in a real situation.

[Unknown Freeper]

Per FoxNews (and I didn't hear their names), but 2 Senators are claiming they don't know of evac procedures/plans for the Senate.

Excuse me but wouldn't it be their own responsibility to make sure they knew what the evacuation procedures are for their place of employment? Silly me. I just mentioned personal responsibility.

Turns out it was a flare.

Very smart!! Gets attn, not much debris. Terrifies little flyboy into growing up .

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

Back in the mid-eighties, I walked to work in heels. By the time I got there, my feet hurt and my stockings had holes in them. I started wearing sneakers to work. The women in the office turned up their noses at me for doing this. Absolutely NO ONE did this back then.

5+11+5=21
9+11+1=21

And if you add 21 and 21 you get . . . . 42

THE ANSWER!!!

[CitizenM]

The plane has landed in Frederick, MD - about 50 mi. from DC. It was directed to go there. The pilot is in the custody of Federal Agents. Not know what charges might result.

[mhking]

Thank you in particular for your wonderful updates with lots of relative info....

Much obliged. I aim to please...

[eyespysomething]

LOL, what I just said!

[F.J. Mitchell]

Some half witted liberal politicians overreacting to threat of using the nuclear option???????????

[mississippi red-neck]

.A small plane drives the Whitehouse nuts, yet, millions can pour through our borders.

Yeah. It's always different when it's your log in the fire.

"barney franks likes to run in high heels"

Black patent leather only.

Fly next to Target aircraft and dispense flares as they pass by and turn in front of aircraft. Gets their attention (loud / close). Flares are not a weapon but used to divert heat seeking Air-to-Air missles. Bright burning red flame but harmless.

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

It's so much easier to be critical when you aren't in charge!
