New York City fly-by...

[★Chuck Zombie★]

Chuck that'd be like sitting in class at Columbine and seeing someone running in with a gun. Say its just an actor your sitting there, your going to spaz the fuck out.

Yeah, I'll spaz out at the time, but once I found out it was nothing and they had permission to do it, I wouldn't go around acting pissed about it.

To elaborate on what J-Dawg said, if you were sitting in the middle of a shooting/hostage situation at work or school, just cause there was police in the building hunting him down, shouldn't make you feel better. It wouldn't for me either. How could the fact that there was a fighter jet make you feel safer? It was only chasing it. There still would've been nothing to stop the plane from crashing in to the building.

So the presence of the people that can properly handle a situation doesn't give you hope? Do you not have faith in these people to do their jobs? And like I said, I would be happy that it wasn't anything bad instead of being upset.

Now I get waht your saying. True stuff.

See, now you're talking about what you would feel like AFTER, but earlier, you were blaming them for being paranoid in the first place about it, yet you just admitted you would also freak/spaz out at first... Bottom line is, all these people did was (some) of them left their office buildings and went in the streets instead. Not that big of a deal, yet you're making it look like they all broke down and cried. I'd leave my building to, just to make sure a plane wasn't going to fly into it.

That's is exactly what I would think, that or the plane is recieving a military escort. And J-Dawg that is a completely different situation there aren't people running around with guns everywhere but planes fly over NYC everyday.

Yes, planes fly over New York every day. But again, they never do at a level that is so low it could fly straight into your office building, and being followed by a fighter jet at the same time.

There's a difference between logically evacuating just in case and complaining about what actually happened. My wife and this thread are all I know about the story, and I'm saying the same thing in both, complaining about what actually happened is selfish instead of being happy nothing happened. My Wife, you, others, and the news report are all complaining about it.

 

[MikeRaw]

I don't see what's not to complain though. Usually I don't put much stock at all into how the news reports shit, and how they blow it out of proportion, but in this, there's a perfectly good reason. No one can deny it would obviously be an eerie situation, and I could see why people in the largest city in the USA could think that that was possibly a terrorist attack. Not to mention, the biggest thing is, just the stupidity of not telling anyone... Even the president (supposedly) didn't know, which just makes me wonder who had the power to give the go ahead to that, lol.

 

[Moonlight Drive]

Pfft, silly Americans.

i would have just pissed my pants if i were there
