Sounds like maybe anti-government domestic terrorism.

Great, loonies with pilots' licenses. I bet he was foreclosed on, his wife left him, and he was being audited. And I'm not going to make any statements about what his probably political leanings are.

I just saw a CNN alert that says that the pilot had set his home on fire before he crashed the plane.

Which he apparently stole in the first place.

Best warning sign ever.

I don't know, the transformer box across the street from my parents' house has one of these "Do not taunt Happy Fun Lightning Bolt" warning signs on it: [link]

I *love* "Do Not Taunt The Octopus": [link] I mean, you've been given fairly clear warning.

An informative article on how to handle yourself if you are being investigated by an actual investigative journalist, in this case, Pam Zekman of Chicago's Channel 2 news. Non-Chicagoans might remember her from the movie The Fugitive, interviewing the marshals and cops along with Lester Holt and other Chicago journalists.

I really need to stop reading articles about Kevin Smith, Southwest, or anything involving the airline industry. Because if I see one more comment amounting to "just lose some weight! or suck it up and buy a second seat!" I will lose my shit.

Oh, and any Chicagoistas who are job hunting can apply to be an alderman. If you do your job right, you too can make tons of money in graft and kickbacks and end up in prison after 20 years in office!

The guy who crashed his airplane into the IRS office had this to say.

Connie, you actually will be surprised as to his political leanings, if you can discern them.

I think that was kind of the point. Although he could fit in one seat, he bought a second seat because he found it more comfortable. However, since he said he needed a second seat for weight issues, they kicked him off the flight when there was only one available.
