Click picture for full size --- Click envelope icon to send to friends New Yorkers ran in panic when the 747 (chased by an F-16 fighter jet) buzzed the Statue of Liberty then flew frighteningly close to skyscrapers. Buildings were evacuated. People shot cellphone videos while praying. A nightmare seemed to be coming to life again...
In fairness, it wasn't Obama who set up the photo shoot - but it was orchestrated by Whitehouse officials, solely to create an impressive picture of the President's jet and the Statue of Liberty - in other words, to create a publicity picture which would symbolize the President's patriotism.
I think the symbolism went farther than they intended: a picture of Air Force One apparently out of control...with no president inside.
