News Alert, single engine plane plows into building in Austin, Texas. Building houses FBI.

[txhurl]

NORAD involved?

WTF?

Occam’s Razor Crazy 8 Ball: never let a crisis go to waste.

[spectre]

I think it IS Stack. Who really knows. Close tho, LOL

[Dr. Eckleburg]

He supposedly has a wife and a 12-year-old daughter, Cheryl, who got out of the house fire ok.

And the house burns with whatever evidence is inside it.

[potlatch]

[For TX it’s high.]

HUH?? Lol..

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Two F-16s were scrambled.

[ConservativeWarrior]

Agreed -- I found the same thing with rented planes, except I thought they maintained them "by the book" because they didn't want to be liable for damages in the event there was an incident due to lack of maintenance.

That's true. One lawsuit could put their business under.

Another consideration is that many rental planes are associated with flight schools. When students take their checkride, they are quizzed on the aircraft's maintenance history and records. Candidates must demostrate to the examiner that the plane has been properly maintained, all airworthiness directives met, etc...

Fox is showing a roaring blaze inside building. Now we are getting speculation that it may have been someone upset with IRS.

[Osage Orange]

We shall see..........

[onyx]

And post # 520 is also STACK.

[spectre]

OK, onyx. But they seem to be faily sure it IS the same guy who set fire to his own house. We’ll see..

[TChris]

Fox just ran a crawl again saying FBI does not think it is terrorism.

So far, it doesn't sound like terrorism to me.

Sounds like a guy whose life was coming apart at the seams (taxes and/or pending divorce, etc.), and he decided to go out with a bang.

I could be wrong, but that's what it smells like at this point. Details will tell the story in time.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

They’ll play that song for all it’s worth.

[Steve_Seattle]

There were idiots on the other thread expressing sympathy if the IRS was indeed targeted. That’s all FR needs, is to have views like that be reported in the MSM. If Olbermann and other libs latch onto those kinds of comments, who can blame them for calling FR extremist?

[Clinging Bitterly]

I stepped away for a while but they are indeed speculating it was targeted against IRS.

[LdSentinal]

Yes, the girl in the pic looks between age 10-12.

[dennisw]

Between this guy, and the guy who threw the 3-month old off the bridge this week, what is wrong with these people?

I don't know about you but millions of Americans are pissed off that Punxsutawney Phil the groundhog ran back into his hole meaning six more weeks of winter

[traumer]

“the crash was an act of terrorism”

UHM OK

[SE Mom]

Oh man- I just got out of the cubicle- this is nuts.

Trying to figure out what’s real and what’s speculation...just turned on FOX.

[spectre]

Why would he want to kill his wife and daughter? So many questions.

[Deo volente]
