Remember the airhead that flew too close to Obama's plane? They had to scramble jets out of March AFB in Riverside County to force the dude down in Long Beach. Stupid ass was packin' a few keys of weed. There are the clueless in the sky. The other thing that comes to mind would have been a terrorist attack. Slamming into that slow moving huge target would have been the piece d'resistance for the terrorists. Especially over the metropolis. I'm sure the 2 fighters you saw were only a taste of what was up there.

I'm betting the carnage was real. I heard it over and over on the media, don't stop and gawk and the cops will be everywhere.

Come to think of it, on the way home from the sighting, I passed over the 405 which was nearly stopped at 1 pm in the Long Beach stretch. Even on a Friday, that's a little early. Just takes one bonehead to stop that fwy.
