KLBJ590 AM has the name of the pilot, he burned down somebody’s house in Scofield Farms last night.

Five thousand reporters are looking for a photo of him at a Tea Party.

‘7 stories... is a high rise in Texas. We don’t claim to be NYC or LA’

I live in the area of this crash...

There are at least 8-10 buildings that are 10+ stories—Renaissance Hotel for example-—it’s also a somewhat hilly area and very suburban with many office parks...for those of you unfamiliar with Austin...several scenes form Mike Judges Office Space(Kolotchi Bar) were shot in this area..

They hit a building with IRS offices. That’s pretty targeted.

The IRS has a huge processing center in Austin. Its a much better target.

It looks like there may have been some FBI offices in there.

I had an uncle who flew small planes alot due to his insurance business. He used to own his own but eventually sold it when he went into semi-retirement. The last plane he rented crashed after take off when it just died in flight. He was hurt pretty bad but survived.

He said the rental planes are in no way kept up maintenance wise the way they should be according to the maint. manuals......

never saw this coming... oh wait... this is within the 12-18 month window since we let up on the pressure against AQ.

we are back to the 90s... refuse the terrorists the megaphone by denying any terrorist attacks, instead claiming them to be accidents or crazy people.

this resulted in the undeniable multi-prone attack on 9-11. i just hope i make it through this round... because i see much larger ordinance in the future.

this needs to be hung on necks of 0bambi and the dems/liberals/progressives

on a side note... what was Jim-bo Biden saying just this week??

how long do we need to allow the children (progressives) a place at the table?

That means we will never know the truth about what actually happened.

Fire Dept briefing:

plane crashed, bldg quickly on fire, fire dept is on offense inside the building, two individuals transported (EMS will further report)

Fire still burning, one individual unaccounted for

Will not say about planes heading, saying it’s “all under investigation right now”

Variety of offices in the building, doesn’t specify

Heavy destruction on 2nd floor.

One news reporter says they’ve been talking to a witness that eyeballed this plane for a long time, saw it start to go done. Fire Dept official denies any knowlege of that.

The high rise comment was my mistake. At the moment I was typing, the screen shot showed a close up that looked like a high rise to me. I guess I had 9/11 in my head.

I'm sayin his name is Swen Olafson from Pennsylvania and he makes wooden stools. The Amish are the meanest people on the planet.

He was audited by the IRS and found to have falsified stool expenses.

pretty brazen pilot to fly under telephone wires, over street lights, and level off at 30 feet above cars at full throttle to attempt a touch and go in a parking lot

Do either of you remember a similar incident right after 9/11 when a young man flew a small plane into a high rise in Florida? I remember there was no smoke at all.


It was an 18 year old who took his (doctor) father’s beechcraft? in Miami.. left a suicide note to Osama about jihad.

I think some of the reports say that is wrong.
