Washington, D.C. CITY OF FOOLS
Wasn't it a similar plane that the deranged kid flew into the Tampa office building a few years ago?[/QUOTE]
That's right! A teenage boy, whose last name the media reported as
Bishop, (his actual surname was Bishara....his father was Syrian)
was a fan of Bin Laden and he flew his "little" plane into an office
tower in Tampa at night, killing himself and breaking window's at
an attorney's office. Another September 11th? Hardly.
This morning's events in Washington were a national
embarassment. Even if a Cessna 150 were to hit the
Capitol Building or The White House, a broken window and
some chipped paint would be the extent of the "damage."
For the politicians and Secret Service to run around in a
panic like silly little girls is beyond absurd. We're not
talking about a hijacked 747 here! A Cessna 150 has
neither the kinetic energy nor the fuel load to do damage.
Look to the history books if you want to see bravery
and courage.....the Blitz during World War II, when London
was under heavy bombardment and the British people
pressed forward with courage and fortitude.
I took lessons in a Cessna 150 when I attended an
aviation summer camp as a kid......it's a flying beer can!
