    Blocked for me too.

    But I'm guessing it's refering to the president's low-flying plane over New York as part of a photoshoot.

    TBH, if I were living there and saw this, I would run too!

    i reckon obama smoked some weed and said to someone you know what'd be great. lets scare the **** out of thousands.

    Kinda like if i was high and someone went to the toilet you'd try freak them out when they come back.

    Oh that obama what will he do next.

    Jesus. I'm pretty sure I would have ran far away at the sight of that. They didn't even tell the Mayor it was happening.

    Its also the "Herd Mentality" soon has one person starts running and panicking the rest will soon follow.

    Would of probably **** myself also.

    Yeah that's what I found most funny! But sure yeah I don't blame them either. They've been spoonfed fear since they were only babbies. If that happened here in similar circumstances the reactions would be nothing short of hillarious.

    :pac: was thinking the same thing. In fairness though i would have been a bit surprised to see that if i was strolling around NY - what the hell were they thinking.

    The most worrying thing about this is the amount of Boardsies who think they would be able to outrun a 747


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,838 ✭✭✭✭3hn2givr7mx1sc


    It would take the Yanks to run towards the buildin wouldnt it?

    Next week Obama is flying to Japan in a B29 Superfortress.

    Keep the people afraid, they are easier to control that way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,794 ✭✭✭chillywilly


    it is kinda funny seeing all the americns freak out but if i was among them i would have been the same! The FAA seem like fookin idiots, letting this go ahead with letting the public know about it.

    on the other hand....."RUN ......RUN!!!" lmao:D

    Have to disagree there. We've been exposed to fear I suppose you could say but in no way near the same way Americans have been. Our fears aren't constantly played upon or manipulated when you think about it.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,158 ✭✭✭donmeister


    If you witnessed 9/11,Im sure you'd also shit yourself aswell.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,225 ✭✭✭Chardee MacDennis


    the mayors office was informed, it wasnt passed on from there. security evacuated buildings in some cases. i'd probably have thought something bad was gonna happen too. btw it was for a photoshoot! have the ever heard of photoshop? it's all about controlling the population imo..

    Just think how'd you feel if TWO 747s flew into Dr. Quirkeys on O'Connell street and kill thousands of members of your knacker family.

    You'd be scared of low flying 747s too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,526 ✭✭✭m@cc@

    happened in Holland
    and Siberia
    lets not forget TWA flight 800 , and the other plane that crashed shortly after 911 , there have been a fair few disasters in New York over the years

    In recent decades the number of people killed on the ground appears to have gone up


    http://edition.cnn.com/2006/US/10/11/plane.crash/index.html


    02/01/1957 Northeast Airlines DC06A New York, NY Shortly after lifting off from La Guardia Airport in a snowstorm, the plane rolled sharply to the left and crashed on Rikers Island. Several inmates from the Rikers Island Prison made some heroic rescues and were later pardoned.

    That's the funnest thing I've seen in ages.

    Also, I've just remembered this it was 05/06 when I was living in Limerick and I was getting up at 6am to go to the gym. I was walking with my mp3 player on but I could hear a noise and fairly soon after that I couldn't hear anything, even the one car driving by stopped and was looking around. Then I saw the plane that was causing the noise it was a plane on the way to Shannon and it was so close that I could see all the windows. My thought was 'crap, that's not going end up in a field or houses if it keeps going that way' and kept walking. The pilot copped on that he was too low and started flying a bit higher. It was a bit of a different reaction, the guy in the car stopped to have a look and I kept walking while looking I think another car just drove by.

    Though it appears that the 747 made a course correction after the crowd started to run. For all we can tell from the video it may have been directed straight at their position there. It does appear like its performing a hard left in the video.

    But of course Berty, you're the bloody expert, seeing all the evidence from a grainy youtube video.
