Small plane crashes in Austin
 

Apparently it was near the FBI building...

Near but not the same structure.

Now they are saying the pilot set his/her house on fire right before this.

one station is reporting that the fire is being fueled by tons of jetfuel leaking from the building, way to go CaNNt. And another is saying that its a private plane the owner purposly flew into the IRS offices out of despair......:eek: guesss we'll get the newest developments at the top of the hour....

TSA is gonna have a field day with this... Apparently he set his house on fire, then stole an airplane, and crashed it into the IRS building.... WOW

I just learned what an "unmanned airstrip" is :rolleyes:

I would expect the TSA, or some similar government entity, to indeed run with this. If nothing else it blows a big hole in AOPA's stance that small aircraft are incapable of being used as weapons of terror.

Light aircraft G/A has been hanging by an unraveling rope since 911. Sad, but a reality. AOPA's relatively new president now has his hands full, and then some.

Come on, give them some credit. The broadcasters have zero experience with general aviation. Their actual aviation experts have said that the aircraft probably had about 40 gallons of fuel.

Also, if the IRS was his target, then he missed. The IRS office is located in the same complex but a different building. So far no deaths other than the pilot, but two are injured. If this is true, it is amazing that not more were injured or killed.

Twist to the story..

The Manifesto Of Austin Texas Crash Pilot Joseph Andrew Stack

This one is gonna get wierd.

They are going to have to go after pickup trucks and minvans next. Unless you doubt a pickup truck could do the same damage?
