The Obama Administration flew a plane from the Air Force One fleet (tailed by two F-16s) at an extremely low altitude through New Jersey and Manhattan, yesterday. In a stroke of genius, they “forgot” to tell anyone they were going to do this. New Yorkers who still remember the horror of 9/11 all too well, evacuated buildings on their own despite a lack of alarms and ran terrified in the streets. Video below:

Why was the plane flying so low over New York? For a photo op.

UPDATE: What was the official position of the White House at the time? “Umm. Uhh. We didn’t know.”
