To be fair it was hardly that low and I'm sure most people wouldn't notice it was even a presidential jet. I couldn't tell from them photographs.

In London you get planes flying that low all the time, if not lower because of City Airport and Heathrow.

Seems to of been exaggerated rather and I'd personally punish people who ordered evacuations, very much uncalled for.

The people in charge of these things really are idiots.

I'm suprised people didn't get hurt judging by how fast they would have all tried to get out of the buildings.

But the plane was escorted by two F16s. If you're in Manhatten, a no fly zone, and see a low flying plane followed by fighters you're gonna get a tad worried...
