I wake up to a plane crashing into a building

Small plane crashes into office buildings at 183/Mopac

Mike said they could see the smoke from the top floor of his office, several miles away. All the traffic is shut down due to the vast swarm of emergency vehicles. What the fuck?

Edit: the local news is in hysterics. There's F-16s flying around overhead. The parts that scare me are the people who were on the very high overpasses at the highway interchange, talking about the plane going right over them, feeling the wave of heat shaking their cars... I was just telling Mike last night how much I hate those overpasses and driving on them.

Edit again: the house fire about a mile away from me is apparently the pilot's house. There's a crazy post floating around on the net talking about the evils of the IRS and various other agencies, advocating violence as the only solution.

Edit the third: Despite the large scale of the damage, the only confirmed death so far is the pilot. Two people have serious burns, but there hasn't been any wave of casualties. Small favors, I suppose.

This entire thing is so scary and weird. I woke up from horrible fucked up nightmares to this.

now that's one of my worst nightmares

The local news is showing this Lexus on the access road near the Echelon building. There's an enormous impact crater on the driver's side of the windshield. The driver is reported to be uninjured. Totally absurdly scary. That is actually one of my random, nonsensical fears - something falling out of the sky and crashing into my windshield.

EDIT GDSAKGFKJ:GFDL:
The local news just informed me his car wasn't hit by debris. He was actually clipped BY THE PLANE. I never want to drive anywhere ever again.

not all the tea in the land can excuse it

I am utterly disgusted by the people popping up with fan clubs and hero worship for the psychopath who flew his private plane into an office building today. (And I refuse to link to them, because I'm not giving them any traffic.) This isn't some principled stand for ideals, some noble heroic gesture. It was attempted murder and destruction. It was a violent threat. It was pretty unmitigated cruelty to his family.

There are lots of reasons to be mad with our government, with our cracked out and failing financial institutions, with how hard it is to get a good job and feel secure. But absolutely none of that excuses or condones what happened today. What Stack did today was selfish and evil.
