What do you think of the Air Force One flying so low in the sky of NYC?

Startled financial workers rushed out of ther Manhattan office buildings when an Air Force One plane was seen flying very low above the sky in NYC. They were worried that September 11 might just repeat itself. This public relations blunder by the White House has churned out unpleasant memories from the minds of Americans. What is your take on that?

hmmm.. your topic just caught my eyes.. i'm a bit curious.. how can they be sure its Air Force One they're looking at? are they certain the president is in it? coz if not, then its not AF1, but an ordinary luxury plane..

regarding the issue of how can they know its an Air Force One, i would like to correct myself that its a Boeing 747 they were looking at but one of the plane is called an AF1 when president obama is using it. i came cross the news and planted the impression that whether its referred to as a Boeing 747 or AF1 doesnt make a difference. thanks for helping to correct the blunder :) so, what do you think of this whole incident?

i see.. they probably meant a "presidential plane" (the skyblue colored one, if i'm not mistaken, coz as far as i know, theres more than one of that plane), but not necessarily AF1. i guess its understandable for them to be worried since its their town that was attacked back then. but i don't think a known presidential plane flying at low altitude should make such a fuss. i mean.. its the president's plane.. its not exactly a stranger to the place.. but if its an ordinary 747 flying at low altitude.. then that should really be a cause of worry.. considering the huge size of a 747, it shouldn't be flying at low altitudes, unless its going to land.

I could see where this would make some people upset, regardless what type of plane it was. When you go through a experience as bad as 9,11 and then later on your see something like that, it would bring back bad memories. just think about it, these people were probably going through the same thing that some war veterans do when they have flashbacks
