Today was a very scary day for Manhattan workers. It was an early Monday morning, people had just gotten to work from their busy weekends. Two planes an airliner and a super sonic fighter jet flew close to many New York skylines. This scared tons of people and it only brought memories of the tragic 9/11. Buildings were evacuated and workers called loved ones to tell them this news. The good news is that it was nothing more then a photo op. No one really knew about this which is why it scared allot of people. The president and the mayor also claim they didn't know anything of this photo op. This brings up allot of questions including one that would fall along the lines of "is this a conspiracy?". Many people don't believe that no one would know about this especially after 9/11. You would think people would be informed. I'm not sure what to believe but for now I will trust what the news are saying. You cant really say I'm only following the media, its just that there are no facts to prove everything else. This event also kind of goes with the law that states you cant say or do anything that would put people in a state of panic. For example you cant yell fire in a movie theater where there is no fire. It would make panic and run away. So this is very similar to today's incident. It was not really a terror attack but it made people panic to the point where they had to be evacuated. This is partially all because no one told anyone about it. It is also bad because many people are still afraid of low flying planes let alone ones near sky scrappers. This shows how New Yorkers will never get over 9/11. Were not supposed to forget, but this was not the way everyone should be reminded.

  1. Yes, I heard about this today too. It is crazy how after 9/11 we are suppose to be safer and prepared for history to repeat itself yet no one knew about this. The fact that the president had no clue what was going on brings more fear amoung americans. Isnt it your job to control these sort of things? Your last sentence is perfect for this situation, " were not supposed to forget, but this was not the way everyone should be reminded." It speaks for itself.

  2. Isn't it sad, that an airplane flying close to the city is scary, not pretty cool?
