Praying for your friend.

Praying for your friend.

...and people don't think that a full size jet liner, filled with fuel couldn't cause catostrophic damage to two buildings on 9/11.

OP, I hope you're friend is okay.

I hope you hear very soon that your friend is OK.

 

[BLTtinkerbell]

Thoughts and prayers for your friend. I hope everything is ok.

Very scary! My prayers are with your friend. I hope you hear from them soon.

My uncle is a policeman in Austin. I wonder if he was called to this scene.

OP - I too hope your friend is ok.

I hope this was an accident. Witnesses say the plane didn't look out of control.

My sister lives in one of the apartments behind this building. I've spoken with her and she is doing fine. Thanking God for that. Praying for others.

Still waiting...

Austin Tink, I'm praying for your friend. As a PP said, I'm hoping that this was an accident, with this being next door to the FBI building and all.

AustinTink, prayers for your friend. Please let us know.

They just said on News8Austin, no deaths reported, only one person unaccounted for.

They are wondering about a connection to a house fire earlier in the morning.

 

[Jennasis]

CNN reporting the pilot burned his house down and stole the plane. Sounds like suicide. And that it was intentional.

Joseph Andrew Stack was the pilot.

 

[SCHBR'smom]

Wife and child were in the house, but made it out. They are safely at a neighbor's.

 

[SCHBR'smom]

Local news is saying they think the plane hit the first floor.

Joseph Andrew Stack was the pilot.

The local news here (KXAN Austin) is reporting that the guy you mentioned owned his own plane and flew it out of the Georgeetown airport. Right now it's just speculation that he was the one in the plane that hit the building, or that he set fire to his house.

 

[Jennasis]

I just don't undersatnd how this Stack guy could STEAL a PLANE. And how bad off is your life that you have to take yourself out and try to take people with you???

How can they think there is no terrorist bend to this story??

ETA: Okay, it was his plane?? And all of CNN's info is coming fro KXAN

CNN is reporting that the man that crashed this plane, set his own home on fire and then went to a local airport and stole a small plane and intentionally flew it into this building. They are saying it is not terrorism.

Watching the same as you. Kinda interesting that the house went up at 9:15 and a plane flew out at 9:40.
