9/11 all over again...

Yesterday morning, people in New York were shocked by a large Boeing 747 flying low over the city, trailed by two fighter jets. It came particularly close to both the Statue of Liberty and Ground Zero, the spot where the World Trade Center used to stand.

It seems that several people, panicked by their memories of the attacks on September 11, 2001, fled into the streets, fearing another terrorist attack.

However, their fear turned to fury when it turned out this particular plane was having a photo opportunity. This particular jet was none other than: Airforce One. Apparently, the media machine that is the White House regularly has photo's taken of the presidential ride at important national landmarks. The president was not on board.

Now if only they'd informed the people about it?
