It wasn't an attack, or even a drill -- it was a government-sponsored photo op.

The Pentagon did tell local authorities about the startling fly-over that sent a Boeing 747 and a F-16 fighter screaming over New York's scarred skyline, but officials said they couldn't share the information with the public. They couldn't even share the information with the mayor.

Mayor Bloomberg said he was "furious" and criticized both the feds and his own administration for failing to issue a simple warning to the public in a city that is still somewhat traumatized by the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

"The good news is it was nothing more than an inconsiderate, badly conceived and insensitive photo op with the taxpayers' money," Bloomberg said.

News 4 New York learned Monday night that at least 90 calls were placed to 911 about the plane.

An official from the Obama administration said the White House Military Office wanted to update its file photo of the president's plane near the Statue of Liberty.

"Everybody panicked," said Daisy Cooper, a Merrill Lynch worker in Jersey City, who lost a nephew on 9/11.  "Everybody was screaming and we all ran downstairs. I'm devastated...Everybody was running, we didn't know why we were running. We just knew it was a plane, there we go, 9/11 again."

I saw it earlier today when it was in New Jersey. Yeah for me. Anyway incredibly stupid stunt? Over reaction by the people? Or preparing everyone for a decade of government sponsored fear?

I think its pretty funny.  Yet another misstep in the parade of fools.  However, it doesn't speak to highly of NY'ers who can't ID Airforce 1.

Uh last time they saw a plane flying that low around New York it wasn't so pleasant. So I don't blame them for panicking.

Yeah, that wasn't thought out very well.

I can understand some worry, but dang, the media reports make it sound like half of NYC had a panic attack.  I guess the American public is living in fear, and that makes me a bit sad.

They have very specific rules in NYC after 9/11. When people break the rules in such a similar way it's understandable to worry. It wasn't like there was rioting and hysteria in mass... but I'm sure that it brought back memories. Those feeling are reasonable in NYC. People that live and work there had a direct connection to the attacks and many of them lost loved ones.

A few years ago in Tallahassee two F-15's buzzed the Capitol.  The came in low toward the capitol and broke toward space at the last second.  It was awesome.  Unfortunately, most did not know that a flyover was scheduled.  Pandemonium  ensued.

I live 15 minutes from Macdill AFB.. I don't think it would bother me. I get A-10's right over my driveway sometimes, very low, very loud.

Ah.  MacDill,  I lived on bayshore blvd two blocks from Bern's steakhouse.  As a military brat, It was no biggie either.  A-10's are freaking awesome, I doubt I'd get tired of it.

This plane was the backup to air force one... its pretty distinctive looking, and it had a fighter escort. No one noticed that before getting scared. People must have thought Air force one was the plane for Osama not Obama...

And Bloomberg switched from Democrat to Republican when he ran for mayor and he wants Obama's job... he can STFU who does he think he is Rudy Giuliani



And I would have thought this would have caused more panic than air force onehttps://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0f/Plane_crash_into_Hudson_River_%28crop%29.jpg

lol silly new yorkers. do they not think that with all the security and precautions, that a hijacking like 911 will never happen again? and why would terrorists try that stunt again? they know its been done before so it wont work again.

silly new yorkers.
