Air Force One NYC Fly Over Scaring the City 4-27-09

[eg6roll]

They pulled a flyby my house yesterday 4 jets and air force 1 passing by rumbling my house. Northern California near the coast.

[achoiusa]

Wouldn't it be easier and faster just to do computer graphics?

[ByyMarTin]

I beat that the white house don't know whats PHOTOSHOP is ..

[lizzy513]

Love it when govt officials ttry to play the IDK card. Bull crap.

[blkhat117]

the government is a joke! 911 real? give me a break just think if they had clearance to fly that low that close the the Goldman Sachs tower and with air force one for that matter, what was going on behind the scenes on 911?

[MrAntny5]

OMG,LOL- you can tell these are tourists! Where are they running to?LOL-They are by the harbor- the safest place yo can be-They are running toward the skyscrapers lol! This is too funny-the pictures came outgreat though-but they defiinitely should have warned the city-what else were people to think? I would have thought it was terrorism as well-lol

[anderberger]

this is BULLSHIT 

[lefebvrer3289]

@anderberger Stop being pussy's????? Who the fuck are you? I wish you saw the thing we did, I wish youd live that day just as we had to.

[refused215]

stop being pussies

[foreversinging91]

What I'm wondering is if airforce one knows what PhototShop is!?

[cpp1]

Wow! "It is the Federal Government and they can do, in the end, what they please." Wrong, the States let the Federal Government pull shit like this because of access to federal money!!! Period. It's a fucked up system that his been perverted by the rich to control the poor and stupid, complacent middle class.

[MaKaElectric]

DEATH TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER!

[mikemoair]

well obama did go to harvard, a yale man would know better

[mikemoair]

good god its not like obama spelled potato with an "E" or something huh?

[rickie5150]

@mikemoair DIDN'T HE VISIT ALL 56 STATES PRIOR TO BEING EELECTED

[lefebvrer3289]

@rickie5150 56 states. What country are you from? Count the stars on the flag again.

[achoiusa]

$300K is nothing. We spend 1000x more each day in Iraq.

[venuecam]

Name the real fools who suggested this bad joke. Name them and put them in public to face the music! I bet one of their surnames ryhmes with "Laney".

Why is everytime Robert Gibbs asked to explain Obama's actions it sounds something like "Uhh... e e e... Ahh... Er er... I don't know" F***ing what.

[digitaljackass]

haha

[markfrosty]

haha 300,000 divided by 300 million americans..... thats 10 cents per person. better make a big deal over that one. how about every american dont go by a doughnut for one day and youve more than covered that cost.

[NathanN672]

Who is the idiot who hired the retards that came up with that idea in the first place??

[Dominicolas]

The American People.

[dlank9]

Best answer I've seen to date

[hahahahaha1hahahaha]

@NathanN672 /watch?v=rOcu6eBkzZg&feature=r­elated

[kc125755]

Did those people hear about photoshop?

I can make my bike fly over the Niagara Falls without scarying anybody.

[phantomlord54]

White House press secretaries are the biggest scumbags

[StunningSophia7]

can you blame them?? if i lived near a national monument in the states & a plane was flying that close i`d run & scream too!

[ConservativeRep1]

now some people say 9/11 was an attack by terrorists and some say it was inside job. i feel it was an attack from terrorists. i suggest you liberals stop saying it is was an inside job because everyone has proof that the air force one flyover was an inside job.

[bballhorseluvr97]

it was, the fuckg president like, told the poeple not to tell anyone, and scared shit out of people who like, went through hell on 9/11, i meanwhat cruelty is this!??!?!?!!

[sjvietboy408]

we believe that 911 was an inside job NOT "because everyone has proof that air force one flyover was an inside job". We believe because there are countless evidences that points to our government did it more than there is that points to the terrorists. We also believe that you are one of those brainwashed ignorant sheeple that believes everything the government tells you, maybe you're a victim to the government's dumbing-down program called "Operation Fluorided Sheeps"

[DANIELCRAIGO]

No even more irresponsible is getting a whole country into so much debt that it will take decades to drag ourselves out of it. Thanks to bush. Not to mention the recession we are in right now. Yeah it was a dumb move and they should have let the city know but dont try to say this is so much money spent. WTF is wrong with you people you didnt mind when bush put us in the hole trillions of dollars but I guess a few thousand spent on a photo op is worse. Why dont you do the math.

[lindaclements]

the press would have NEVER let Bush get away with an idiotic stunt like that

Even if his staff DIDN'T tell him they'd orchestrated it. Bush would have STILL been crucified.

but nary a word by perky katie other than a mere blip mention and on to other news

P A T H E T I C

These slobs remind me of the Clinton crew

Completely irresponsible

Completely juvenile

Every last one of them

They should ALL be FIRED !!!

[AvatarFraser]

Not being mean but wouldn't another 911 be fun??

[ZzzINSIGHTzzZ]

Avatar you sound like Wanda Sykes... the woman the pres had at his luncheo. she seem tothink 911 was worth joking abotu too. U may want to rethink repeating that crap... you could get as ass whopping...

[AvatarFraser]

Awsome go air force 1!

[cwhouser]

Bazillion? what a dumb biased bitch. I feel like if this was done 6 months ago, Fox News would have a different tone on the story.

[orbitaledy]

seems like in white house works idiots

[Richguy9992]

a possiable goverement plan to terrorize americunts. The white house guys are monsters.

[TheStormchaser1]

It was defiantly without reason of a doubt a PsyOp Mission. Meaning it was used to see how many are still terrorized about 9/11.

[WoWlightrise]

the bitch is retarted the bitch needs killed but if it was a hi jacking it would have not circled the damn town it would have want for its target on the spot an the F-16 would have shoot it down before it even got to land

[lovemunster]

i wouldnt blame people for being worried - fuckin yank idiots

[zsuzsu19]

This was uncalled for... even if the idiot Obama wasnt in the plane! I just feel bad about the people New Yorkers running scared!

[utubebla]

wow.. FOXNews really is as bad, suggestive, subjective and biased as portrayed in the media

[zsuzsu19]

At least Fox news is balanced... they do show both sides... but this was uncalled for! No matter what side it is on...

[utubebla]

Both sides & balanced?

This report wsa everything but balanced.

A reporter should never use the words "stupid" or accuse someone of possessing said trait. Reporters are supposed to report the facts and leave opinions to their viewers. This women, apart from having an annoying voice, clearly had an agenda of her own and tried to influence opinions.

Although this WAS uncalled for, FOXNews still shouldnt call themselves news.. propaganda fits their reporting better.

[zsuzsu19]

LOL and CNN and MSNBC isnt balanced. IT WAS STUPID! Any American would know that! How can it be balanced. They were reporting the facts! And that was the worse thing that could of happened. What did you expect, Nancy Pelosi report that it was okay? All sides said it was uncalled for...

[PeonProduction]

It was not a photo shoot, they where actually looking for aliens. Its just one of those cover-ups. OMG that news- reporter lady is annoying ^^

[Craziman123]

Well , I being Canadian and Living on a Military base. This isn't not that scary for me. But, if i were a New Yorker i would be scared shitless. " The White house Apologizes"

Yea, my ass.

[johnsaid44]

They live in fear in NY how sad, glad I don't live there there are 747's and jet fighters fly by Tulsa ( land of wild Indians and we all live in log cabins and T-pees ) every day and no one even looks up.

PS a legal copy of photoshop is about 650.00 not 350.00

still a lot cheaper unless a union gets evolved

[recon4051]

What boneheads. Don't they know how to use Adobe Photoshop or CGI?

[sabrinamom]

for goodness sake. All they had to do was to tell the NY mayor so the mayor can tell his people, hey, don't freak out it's just a photo op. So it's a terrible mistake and I'm sure lots of heads will roll.

[lisalisa49]

Clearly, there should be some limits of how our government is able to spend money.

[sabrinamom]

that lady journalist is ridiculous. It wasn't a bazillion dollars, it wasn't thousands scared. . .it was wrong and it was stupid but stop overblowing it.

[lisalisa49]

Maybe someone should tell the Obama administration that we are in a recession and we, the taxpayers, don't need a $350,000 photo op of Air Force One. And for those of you who will say that it wasn't Obama's fault: If Obama was unaware of the The White House approved fly by of Manhattan(where terrorists flew planes into the WTC in 2001) in HIS plane, then I would say Mr. Obama is grossly uninformed about things he should know about.

[everynamewasgone]

You don't want to start processing people for things that they aren't aware of and had no hand in doing. Bush and Cheney would be spending the rest of their days in the clink for sure. Wait, we could probably all ready get them on the stuff they knew they were doing. But really, if you want to complain about something complain about the large corporations (that received federal aide) having institutions in the caymans whose sole purpose is to hide billions of dollars to evade taxes.

[GelaniLoves]

This was a test to see how scared are the american citizens, are they scared enough yet, let simulate a terrorattack again and see how they react. u guys are ffin traumatizes thats for sure, and ur gov keeps screwin u over. time for rioting the place a la paris suburbs style. ANARCHY!!!!!

[sahollander]

gibbs really explained this one well, as usuall. why is nothing ever obamas fault? I bet they will try and blame it on bush eventually. keep it up robert.

[reingardl]

nothing is Obama's fault...yet :)

[sahollander]

gibbs really explained that one well , as usual. what an idiotic move, and why is nothing obamas fault? i thought bush was gone now.

[jackmcgurn1]

photo op my ass...so lets see these photos. all lies.

[mikelewinski]

how much did "mission accomplished" cost?

remember, bush had to ride passenger in a jet to fly out to an aircraft carrier that you could have swam to from San Diego... and how much has that "accomplished" mission cost? Greta?

[WakeUpZombies74]

Look this up building 7 .April Gallup .Smoking gun flight 93 and Bertha Champagne then tell me about trust!!!!!!!!!!!

[everynamewasgone]

Only on fox news could turn $360,000 into a bazillion dollars. Only fox news would waste time reporting this crap. Wouldn't want to cover real world news would you? This was probably followed by a scare piece on the swine flu.

[everynamewasgone]

I'm sure the pres scheduled this. That is the Pres. main priorities. Hey you racist dick why don't you move to Texas and succeed and we'll fence the state off.

[calanthablue]

Hey! Texas doesn't want that shit! Perry didn't even get elected truly. The liberal vote was just split over two awesome candidates, so he won with a crap-ass "majority." We don't want Perry, and we don't want racist trash. Obama did pretty damn well down here. It was a good fight!

[narutoatemrhanky]

praise alah

[longbeachlt]

i got a new camera called the canon 50D i like it very much and i have 18 mouths to pay for it, i like air planes ,obama likes people,theology of pretter wizerdk, the river is there, what, hollywood hi i like tv movbie

[evo98custom]

A very irresposible act who ever was in charge of this should be fired immediately....however this came from a lower branch NOT the Presidents office so he cant be blammed

[deathtobill5]

I have lived in NY my whole life,last time a low flying plane came, it was bad,

[Crimble67]

If this was suppose to be a flight to take a new publicity photo of Air force One where was the plane carrying the photographer? Was the F-16 pilot pulling double duty?

[Gencoil]

lol at the people running... how could anyone think this was actually a good idea?

[ebebimik]

who would try to hijack an airforce one plane?! haha!

it wouldve scared the shit outta me tho if i didnt see that it was airforce one...

[makeinstall]

We are living in a safer country because Obama is the president. What you saw here was Republicans running away and the Democrats were sitting still knowing the country is safe in Obama's hands.

9/11 whats that?

Drink the Kool aid damn it.

[jefeisdguard]

Obama continues his bomb our friends & have tea w/enemies show! Shaking hands w/Chavez, passing secret notes 2 Russia promising 2 betray our allies in regards to Eastern European Defense Shield, in exchange 4 help stop Iranian nuclear development. Not! Iran/Russia Ldrs R laughing at us

While backpedaling on promises 2 have all bills read 5 days b4 signing, were signed immediately JUST hours after they were done printing! Not 1 congressmen read any bill that contained tons of pork, NOT ONE!

[jefeisdguard]

Amid much criticism, Barack Obama has released top secret terror memos from the Bush administration. According to the memos, various forms of torture were used including waterboarding, sleep deprivation, and of course, the fourth hour of the Today show, clips of the VIEW, Pelosi getting a new face lift, Keith Olbermann bites, Michael Moore reading poetry & Rosie ODonnell shaving her mustache! All terrorist detainees chose the 1st two as their choice of torture. The last six broke them.

[kani92]

"hey i'm obama i'mma make the world a better place. "

(100 days into his presidency)

"ummm ya we're gonna do watever we can to get rid of this epidemic. don't know how swine flu started but w/e"

douche

[nanotech22]

are you really trying to make the case that obama is responsible for swine flu? I also disagree with president obama, but not every bad thing is his fault! Look up the obama deception, you owe yourself some education.

[kani92]

stfu ok?

it was a fucking joke get over it.

[supjimmy22]

The asshole that cleared this should be fired from his job. you scumbags waisting money at times like this for a fucking picture.give me a fucking break.

[longbeachlt]

i hate the guy at :47 )

[kani92]

ummm......why?

[longbeachlt]

Why? i hate thim? i think you know why?

[kani92]

if i knew i wouldn't ask

[tweedtweed333]

time to fight , I have a law suite, just one NYC person to another, its time to fight DC punks that raped us on this day !

Do it today ! do not walk away from this rape on us ! this was a crime !

do not be a drone !

[phonedial9]

Here come the conspiracy theories. I've already heard of one connecting the Air force one flyover and the swine flu outbreak as parts of a larger plan to garner support for universal healthcare.. morons!

[rbwannasee]

If it was a photo op, then where is the photo? Someone got a link? As for swine flu - why are the two things that keep making the news border security (shutting US/Mexico border) and air travel (VP's) comments. What's the real threat? less than 100 reported sick out of 350,000,000 is no pandemic!! Then let's not overlook the new heat sensing surveillance now being put in place...

[kydrythm]

The government will always disregard the civilians well being. Unless they want our tax money...

[cuteeosRyummy]

OMG! $328,835?!

[swiftkickinthaass]

An apology isnt good enough!!! Fuck em!!!!!!

[Smails512]

his campaign motto should have been "Dope" rather than "hope"

[thorn115]

Do New Yorkers run about like that when visiting the airport?

[Dominicolas]

The cost for this photo up was $328,835

[Frankie509]

Hahaha, she said a bazillion dollars... =P So whats going on America? Photoshoot, was it fuck.

Spill tha beans!!!! =)

[lrondumbass]

Setting aside the real motives of this flight for a moment, I really must state in response to this clip...It's a very simple question, with a very simple answer..."Do you think you owe the folks in NYC an apology over this incident?"...answer should be " yes" . It takes a special kind of arrogance to deny the people that apology. There should not have been any hesitation.

[hooha57]

I doubt we will ever see the photographic proof of this "sham" fly over photo-op. The cockpit canopy on an F-16 is tinted to protect the pilot from the glare, and give

better visibility, but is not, by it's convex, bubble shape,and tint, condusive to taking photos from.

[hooha57]

As for all the panic in the high rise buildings, I am a little curious about the possibility of the public safety, and the response system involving police, fire, disaster, first responders, ect. being activated by 911 calls, as well as the possibility of a few weak-hearted individuals having heart attacks, strokes, panic attacks, ect. This was either a not-so-well-thought-out-plan, or something a little more nefarious and sinister in structure and thought.

[eksdem]

On youtube /watch?v=zNUs9dpbYkk

1. Brian Williams says, "This was the clunkiest thing I've seen done in years."

2. Keith Olbermann labels the flight "dangerously low."

3. Obama is ALL SMILES as he discusses the flight (about 1 minute into the video)

Is Obama a SADIST?

He GIGGLED while talking on 60 Minutes about the terrible economy which impoverished many Americans.

[zulkifleerasip]

April 27 - NEW APRIL FOOLS

[Tastysodiumchloride]

" refer to the White House" Hello Gibbs, you are the White House spokesman.

[boxa888]

wow they were examining huaman reaction! holy shit, thats so fucked up! maybe testing the peoples ability at an attack which is fucked! how evil. poor people!

[chiblogger]

People who surround themselves with morons shouldn't be in charge of the country...

[billy56081]

"I find it hard to believe that President Obama knew anything about the incident."

I find it hard to believe BHO knows anything. What a dumb peice of shit, almost as stupid as the shit for brains that voted for ears.

[Stef89]

this is the most studiest fucking thing to do... well done American Government! way to think about your own people! ...losers

[garycalgary]

I find it hard to believe that President Obama knew anything about the incident.

But this is about the stupidest thing that someone could do.

Just put a notice on the news that the event is going to happen. Simple.

i get nervous when i see planes flying over dt in my city......

[extremefaith3]

i am so angry. THIS is so sad especially those poor people in NYC.. What an outrage.. UGH! WHo is going to do something about this>?

[Tikiecho]

Where was the choppers and photographers supposedly shooting this? No sign or mention of them.

I know Pilots, what Pilot in his right mind would fly this mission and not raise bloody hell and reject it?????

[hooha57]

Since Obama is a definate muslim sympathizer, (and a muslim at heart), he just wanted to give his worldwide cronies another look at what they had tried to accomplish back on 9/11/2001. Only now this action can be done from within. He let them know there is now a muslim compatriot in the White House.

[Frankie509]

You're an idiot.

[jamezbond78]

Wake up, Sheeple! This is a warning to all Americans to wake up and smell the Obama-latte! Obama said he has no idea what happened here. Either he lied to us, or worst, he has no idea what is going on.

[scootar097]

camomule(camoass) Obambo showin the citizens how tough he is? Showin who, the Conservative Republicans who are going to band together to stop this socialist tyrant? try to find copies of obamas college work, papers ect...You can't , there gone, and they would show how radical he was then. the guys a community activist who idiots elected president. RUSH IS RIGHT!!!

[scootar097]

camomule,Obama making a show "no one is gonna fk with us." Have you seen and heard Obama apologize to everyone everywhere for American bad behavior? bush was the best hardliner President to keep this country safe, Obama will fail us with open borders, bowing to sheiks, goverment control over everything, welfare programs ect....

[thinkaboutitplease]

Perhaps members of the arm forces are not likening there assignments and are warning us they are being asked to do harm to their own country...

Maybe we will see more patriots like this.

Sometimes you have to spell these things out...

[hooha57]

As a former fighter pilot, I can assure all of you of one thing. This was NOT a photo-op for the White House military office. Fighter jets are not, and never will be mistaken for photography based aircraft. If you look at the video, at no time do you see the F-16 flying in a configuration to have Air Force One between it, and the background it was supposed to have photographed.

[oscarmacaroni]

that is what i have been suspecting... i think someone

'took the plane out for a spin, and was 'escorted home'

i want to know what really happened.

[jslotkin]

Clearly these people with negative comments about NY or people from the northeast didn't lose anyone on 9/11 to the terrorist attacks. Shame on you!

[lubbocklaw1]

You and camomule share about the same intellect apparently. People like you two don't deserve the air you breathe. Go take a leap will ya.

[reachingsumwhere]

"I would contact the White House." Does he even know what his job is?

[cian665]

I believe he was trying to say, "I would contact the White House Military Office", but was interrupted. Do you really think he knows about every little thing anyone does in there? The whole exercise was a mistake but obviously most of the Presidents staff didn't even know about it.

[camomule]

Serious....unless you're from NY...I think EVERYONE AGREES that you stuck-up, northeasters are nothin' but a bunch of whiners. For crying out loud...get over it! And when you're sitting there counting your free money...consider that your bailout. Dam...I saw Air Force One fly over my flooded farmfield! CRY FOUL! O MY! PAY ME!!!!!!!! Yeah...I'm from the fkkng MIDWEST AND PROUD! You Northeast WHINERS. Why don't you all move to New Orleans!!!!!!

[reachingsumwhere]

I think a gigantic jet (blue and white or not) flying at 1,000 feet over lower Manhattan is good reason for New Yorkers to be frightened.

[ledhead923]

yea dude your a moron... coming from a kid who lives 5 minutes from the biggest air force base in the world.

[lubbocklaw1]

You're a fucking idiot. Though, you probably already knew that.

[CelticReject]

It they'd asked me to do a little Photoshoping I'd have done it glady. And I'd only have charged them £50!

[camomule]

I could easily tell by the A. colors and B. the 747 that it was a government deal--especially with an F-16 flying off the wing. Everyone in NYC obviously is gonna MILK this for some "MORE" taxpayer money. LAWSUITS....B.S. Get over it NY. Obama obviously is making a show that NO ONE IS GONNA FK WITH US, unlike Bush and his cronies.

WHINE-WHINE-WHINE! SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CelticReject]

Unfortunatly most people aren't plane spotting nerds like you, and it's quite difficult to identify colours when you're running for your life. Additionally when you see a jet..... ummm.. you kinda think that there's serious trouble at hand. Wasn't it one of the main complaints of 911 that the airforce were not in a position to respond to the threat?

[lubbocklaw1]

Hey dumbass...guess what? The video you're watching where you can, you know, see the colors, was zoomed in. You couldn't tell that from the ground. But then you're too stupid to pay attention to facts. You're the only person doing any whining.
