The Fed building is near the airport, but not exacly close to it. It may well be in the flight line to one of the runways.

Not too long ago a DC-8 didn't quite make the runway. Took out a block just past 72nd Ave, about a 1/2-mile short of the runway.

I doubt this was a targeted landing (lol!)... unless, perhaps, someone was upset at the new bank notes design? Or maybe at rumors of Sir Alan's retirement?

Fine Air 101, in August of '97? Improperly loaded cargo, crashed less than a minute after takeoff.
