Here we go...

[Behind Liberal Lines]

C'mon. Would Saddam (or his buddies in Al Quada) be crazy enough to attack us right now?

That's almost BEGGIN' for a nukin'

But then again, maybe they ARE that crazy.

[bootless]

Sheesh. If they're trying to use GA aircraft for terror, that would be like using a Honda Civic to ram a nuclear facility. Not enough mass/energy.

[Cold Heat]

From the description, it sounds like a ultralight.

A mosquito running into a car windshield comes to mind.

[Fred Mertz]

There is a helicopter landing pad on the other side of the Federal Reserve Building so police say the small plane may have been trying to land in the area.

Yeah, right.

[Mulder]

Would Saddam (or his buddies in Al Quada) be crazy enough to attack us right now?

Could be that, or more likely, a muslim acting on his own.

If it's either of those two scenarios, it will be covered up and suppressed, just like other events.

[E=MC²]

TV news reported that the plane was a small, experimental model. This is NOT terrorism, most likely, just an accident.

[Mr. Mojo]

or more likely, a muslim acting on his own.

That's my bet ....just like the guy in Tampa last year. Flight schools in Florida cater to Muslim terrorists, you know.

[Mulder]

Exactly. The politicians don't want the truth to come out since it will elicit responses that are not to their liking.

[Shermy]

"Other" side of the building. Yeah, that's what he was going for. And one of those football field long helipads to boot.

Stuff like this only fuels doubts. Now, if there was some big parking lot on the crash side, maybe one could fashion "he was trying to land" story.

Should be interesting story to follow...

How about a gold standard fanatic? Someone of extreme views about the money supply?

There's my guess. :)

"Miami-Dade Fire Rescue"

The pilot wanted a re-count.

"...The plane, a four-seater, was registered June 26 and belonged to AAA Aircraft Leasing of New Smyrna Beach, near Daytona Beach, according to FAA records...."

[Mr. Mojo]

Someone of extreme views about the money supply?

Someone who read this book, perhaps? (I highly recommend it, btw).

[Mulder]

I haven't read that one yet. I just finished "Creature from Jekyll Island", and it's one of the best books I've read.

[Shermy]

Actually, the gubmint's massive deficit spending is pretty extreme...

[Mr. Mojo]

Thanks for the tip. I just read the review on Amazon, and it looks like a worthwhile read.

"How about a gold standard fanatic? Someone of extreme views about the money supply?"

First, it was "smiley faces".

Now, Shermy the Swami says the answer is: "gold bugs".

[altair]

What was the nationality of the pilot?

Yeah, right.

Oh yes--Fred, If Santa Claus can manage to bring his sleigh and eight tiny reindeer perfectly to rest on the steep, snow-covered roof of a country farmhouse, or on the crumbling roof of a NYC tenement building, then why yes-- I do believe that a small plane pilot could mistake a small, square patch of cement at the Federal Reserve Building for a full length airport runway.
