Source: White House was updating AF One file photo
An administration official says a presidential Boeing 747 and a fighter jet flew low near ground zero in New York City Monday because the White House Military Office wanted to update its file photo of the president's plane near the Statue of Liberty.
This official said the White House Military Office told the Federal Aviation Administration that it periodically updates file photos of Air Force One near national landmarks, like the statute in New York harbor and the Grand Canyon.
The official requested anonymity to give more details than the official White House announcement that took the blame.
The incident on Monday caused a brief panic among workers, who weren't warned. They recalled the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Ya think?
A low flying plane over New York City, trailed by a couple of F-16 fighter jets would cause alarm? Who woulda thunk it?
Worst. President. Ever.
Update: Here's the video of the resulting hysteria.
