Small Plane Crashes into Building in Austin, TX

Could also be a pilot who suffered a cardiac event shortly after takeoff.

 

Maybe, but it sounds like he targeted it.

 

Right now it sounds like whatever anyone wants it to sound like.

Doesn't mean you're wrong but it's too early to assume anything.

 

I'm not trying to be argumentative, but the odds of cruising at a low altitude & at top speed and flying directly into a building that houses the local offices of the IRS, FBI & CIA is too much to be an accident in my opinion.

We'll know soon enough when we find out who the pilot is.

 

There it is.

Just to make sure, you'll feel the same way if it's a white guy, right?

 

MSNBC: FBI in different building in same complex.

Changes the story a little bit, but the pilot could have gotten the wrong building or been mistaken about which building the FBI is in.

Still not sure about the IRS & CIA.

 

What the hell does that mean. I didn't say when we learn his name or ethnicity. I said when we know who he is -- you know, like after an investigation & we learn what his motivation are.

 

One of the Austin stations is using the feed from a traffic camera that is pointed towards the building.

Don't know if it belongs to TxDOT or the Austin PD but those cameras usually run 24-7 so there should be video of the plane striking the building.

 

MSNBC: Pilot set home on fire this morning.

Early reports can be wrong, but that lends to premeditation.

Edit: MSNBC says NTSB confirms he set his home on fire.

 

Either that or he's not real handy in the kitchen.

 

Homeland Security says no link to terrorism. Could have just been a guy who wanted everyone to notice his suicide.

 

How do they define terrorism? If it's intentional, it comes pretty damn close to terrorism.

Maybe no ties to overseas terrorists. Maybe no ideological dimension to what he did.

But "suicide by crashing plane into building" isn't the normal way to go.
