Panic after fighter jets escort 747 around Manhattan
Several buildings in Manhattan and New Jersey were evacuated earlier today, after officials spotted a Boeing 747 jumbo jet flying over the city escorted by fighter jets. As it turns out, the jet was one of President Barack Obama's backup aircraft that was circling for a photo op. The whole operation was supposed to have been coordinated among the FAA and local officials, but apparently the message wasn't communicated too well. The WSJ has video of the circling jets below. Imagine watching this from your highrise in Manhattan.

Someone's getting fired for this.
Would it have been a big deal to let local news station know this was happening?
