2. All clear. . .everyone can return. . .
But that radio is reporting that people were literally running away from the Capital Building.

27. local DC radio reporting that it was total chaos and still is with traffic
turned totally insane as people FLEE the Capital...

the radio reports here (inside the Beltway) is that 'reaguns funeral' tourists were waiting on the grass near the Capital Rotunda...then hundreds of employees came RUNNING out of the Capital extremely fast....some being interviewed said they never saw so many people run so fast...

they ran right past the tourists...so the 'funeral tourists' got up and started running also...all reports are that it was STUNNING...lots of FLEEING....running as fast as possible...

and now, the streets and freeways are total chaos....seems that NO jets were called into the air (NO jets were called up in the air for 9/11/2001 either)...and there STILL is NO bush* plan for evacuating Washington DC....

a local station said many people are NOT returning for the 'funeral', since it appears that they might be KILLED...and they just got the real impact of bush* lack of planning....

28. Eventually, we have to move the capital inland

In this world, close to the sea is the WORST place for the capital to be. It's impossible to screen against missle launchers without clearing 300-400 miles of sea around Washington DC.

I'd say the upper planes is probably the BEST place to put the capital. That puts it the FARTHEST away from the sea.

11. On MSNBC........Apparently
a plane veered off course on approach to Washington National. Capitol Police were yelling "RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!", but no killer rabbit was found. Sir Robin personally wet himself. More to come.

13. They have determined
the Gov. of Kentucky is not a threat to the US.

Could this be premature?

15. Man, you should have seen Anderson Cooper.
He was practically shitting himself, while running away, with face turned toward camera, at all times, of course.

I was hoping he'd run right into a pole, or a glass wall, or something. }(

16. False Alarm, WHEW!
Edited on Wed Jun-09-04 04:13 PM by Hubert Flottz
It was just that big swarm of greenflies and dog pecker gnats zooming in on a long dead body(over ripe)laying around there somewhere, would be my guess!

Edit} Did Bush go to code Orange yet?

Gov. of Kentucky causes terrorist alert in DC today


His plane flew into a now radically restricted air space and caused an alert that sent guards scurrying about the Capitol grounds.

as seen on CNN NOW

25. Yea, CNN said it was a small plane carrying the Gov. of Kentucky!
He's a Pub isn't he? Bet if it had been a Dem, the Pubs would have been screaming already about intentional disruption of their hero's funeral!
