The airplane incident happened before
There was another time when the airplane incident happened. I just thought it was interesting that they haven't had better security or something to look out for stuff like this which goes to show me they're doing this on purpose.

Snip: <WASHINGTON - Lawmakers, dignitaries and mourners preparing for Ronald Reagan's funeral ceremony raced from the Capitol Wednesday after police feared an airplane was headed for the building and warned: ''You have one minute to impact.''

Within minutes, authorities determined the small plane was carrying Kentucky Gov. Ernie Fletcher to the funeral and had lost its radio transmission after flying into restricted airspace around Washington. Two F-15 fighter jets were diverted from an air patrol to intercept the plane.

The building was reopened at around 4:30 p.m. EDT, about 1 1/2 hours before the start of the procession bringing Reagan's body to the Capitol Rotunda.

During the period of uncertainty, police had hustled House Speaker Dennis Hastert - second in line to the presidency - away in a secured motorcade.>

1. Happy we are worried about a light plane.
It really shows that bin Larden really has won or maybe Bush's poll numbers are down. It really is to silly for all this stuff to go around the world. Bush looks like he has a yellow line up his back. Add these things in with the 911 and his 'war record' and it is really sad for us all. What a mess.
