COMMENTS: Jumbo Jitters
Not pandemic but shades of 9/11 shook the nerves of the high rise office workers of Wall Street. "Panic they did. People self-evacuated pouring out of buildings in lower Manhattan," narrated ABC anchor Charles Gibson. The cause of the jitters was the sight of a low flying jumbo jet--the Presidential Air Force One--circling on a similar route that the hijacked jets took in September 2001, followed by an F-16 fighter jet. "It was no disaster," NBC's Mike Taibbi told us after the fact. "The epicenter of 9/11 on a busy Monday workday was just being used as a backdrop for an FAA-approved photo shoot." The White House apologized for creating "confusion and disruption."
