Errant Pilot clears capitol today.

A small plane, evidently lost and off course came within 90 seconds of the White House and Capitol today.

If you've seen the video, people are streaming down the streets from the threat.

It reminded me of NYC 9-11, but without the debris.

Fighter jets reportedly fired flares to get the pilots attention and change course.

This, to me is intolerable. Some dunce flying off course can shut down the US Gov't?

I would have changed his course alright, by blowing him out of the sky with a stinger missle and sending him south.

I'm sorry, it's post 911, if any pilot is so unskilled or completely careless, this country can not give them the benefit of the doubt when they are 90 seconds from the White House.

What if it were terrorists? We could still intercept their aircraft, but if they fired a missle, that's it.

The media is already making fun of Capitol Security claiming they overreacted rushing everybody out, now that we know it was a lost little plane.

Well, as far as I'm concerned, if you know you're flying near Washington DC, common sense would tell you to be extra, extra careful.

Lest you be forced to change course via a stinger missle + gravity.
