Did I miss threads about updates on the plane emergency with Obama? |
|
NPR just reported, I think quoting ABC, that the FAA told the public a few months ago there was not an emergency landing, but they just played tape of the pilot requesting an emergency landing.
:wtf:

2. Wow, first I've heard. As to the lack of coverage, maybe the Secret Service needs to |
|
make sure everyone's okay; if something awful happened--I don't want to think about it.

4. heard about it on Dan Abrams's show last night and i'm really pissed |
|
Hearing about it made me sick to my stomach. We CANNOT AFFORD to lose our candidate!
I hope the Secret Service is taking this very seriously, and from now on, monitoring the maintenance of Obama's campaign plane.

5. here's more information |

I guess the pilot didn't have control of "the up and down movements." :( http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/Politics/story?id=5581453&page=1

8. That was very disturbing, especially the air traffic controller asking |
|
how many "souls" were on board. Chilling.

|
At least online, they have like 3 videos up on this story.
