Im going to try not to go off on too much of a rant.
First off, the media cant get its sh!t straight when it comes to breaking news like this. One report (OCnow.com) says the plane that went down in Fullerton was a single engine Cessna 337, except a 337 is a twin engine plane, and it took all of 5 minutes to obtain that information. Then the Colorado crash reports first say its a four engine commuter plane, then they finally decide its a small single engine plane. BIG difference.
On the plane crash in Tampa. Calling it a suicide run as drudgereport did is just wrong. The only facts we have so far is that he took off without clearance and hit a building. We do not know how or why it hit the building. That is what the NTSB is for.Control Failures do happen. Planes have been hitting buildings since planes were invented. The vast majority of them arent intentional. As far as:
<< Warning shots? Blow him into pieces too little to hurt anything on the ground when the debris falls down as an example not to be fcking around in North American airspace. >>
Would you be so eager to do that if it was a 747 loaded with 400 people? Were not a lot of people angry when a Peruvian air force jet did exactly that to an american missionary plane because somebody couldnt translate correctly? And as far as the Coast Guard saying that the pilot knew what the signals meant, as far as i know, the intercept procedures have never been part of the testing to get a pilots license, nor did most pilots know there were even procedures like them until after 9/11.
Vespasian, there were 101 aircraft accidents last month. big difference.
Now there is some stupid "military analyst" on MSNBC saying that yea it its a small plane, doesnt do much damage to a building, but what happens if it hit a nuclear power plant for example. The FAA had the concern for a while and had a temporary rerstriction on flights near and over power plants. Problem was, it was limited to small planes, which cannot cause harm to a nuclear plant, but it allowed large commercial planes to fly overhead, which, as we have seen, can destroy even huge structures.
