Austin, Texas - Man angry at IRS crashes plane into building - Yahoo! News

The guy may have gone crazy but nevertheless, looks like this was a planned attack.

The left will claim he's a right wingnut/tea partier and the right will claim he's a commie and nothing will come of it except the 24-hour news cycle getting something else to beat to death for a couple weeks.

Whatever the reason, this proves we need stricter plane control.

Nothing new here; the IRS has long been a favorite target.
Here's a toy that celebrates just such an event: eBay

Man, that is soooo funny on sooo many levels...........
Typical, like my old boss who used to scream about every little "entitlement" yet would scream up and down why the gov. wasn't protecting him from the big bad companies...
Gov. is great if it ONLY helps ME............. everything else su@ks.....

How many weirdos crash planes on buildings in the U.S.A. every years? Compared to all the reckless drivers on the roads, I think people flying light planes are a lot more disciplined than car drivers. Maybe it's time to put stricter control on cars and car drivers.

There are about 40,000 deaths a year on U.S. roads!

Must every crime now be branded as 'terrorism'?

Sad, yes. Criminal, yes. Terrorist? No.

Plane control is when you use both hands. Yeah, I couldn't resist.

No, you need to knock together some false intel, claiming that an airstrip near the one the plane took off from has stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons. Call these weapons WMDs, and then invade.
