So the geniuses at the Defense Department decided it would be a good idea to fly a 747 low over the southern tip of Manhattan this morning, escorted by two F-16 fighters. And just for good measure they ordered local authorities not to let the public know what was happening.
In the ensuing panic, workers evacuated downtown office buildings. Finally, the pranksters at the FAA revealed they just wanted to take some pictures of the Statue of Liberty!
Idiots.
