Austin, TX: A small private plane has crashed into a seven story office building early this morning. The building is located on a very busy highway.
Smoke and fires are reported as coming from the second and third stories of the building.
Dawn Clopton, a division chief with the Austin Fire Department, says two people from the building are unaccounted for, but the building had been evacuated and the building workers were gathered in the parking lot.
This is a breaking story, and more will follow via media outlets.
The FAA is gathering info as quickly as they can. No talk of a terrorist attack has been mentioned.
UPDATE:
The house of the pilot of this flight was set on fire this morning. NTSB is now speculating that both the fire and the crash may both be intentional.
UPDATE:
It is being reported that within the building struck, there were several Federal offices. It is also being said that the pilot had some kind of beef with the IRS, who was in said building.
UPDATE: Oh my. The pilot left a suicide note. h/t to Political Byline via Gawker
Read it and make your own assessments.
UPDATE:
This guy had a Facebook page, created by a woman named Emily Walters. Hmmm.

So,…is the pilot a right-winger who hated the IRS, or is this nothing of the sort?
I wili expect the liberal media to use this for ratings if it is determined this guy voted for Bush, was a veteran, or liked Sarah Palin.

Looks like all the IRS flacks got out of the building. That’s too bad… I like my tax guys extra crispy.

Most reports are that Jackson banked a hard “RIGHT” into the building

I must say I’m quite surprised that by now this thread hasnt been swamped by loony leftys saying the right is loosing it or lifting quotes from his manifesto and attaching them to Tea Partiers or conservatives like the ones Napolitano she outlined as threats in her HS report.
I’ve been on this guys end of the IRS. Had my pay attached for a measly 600 bucks from 10 years ago.
While there was no accounting for the numerous times in my derelict life I never even got my refunds because I was so transient. There is no statute of limitations when you owe the man, but they say there is a 6 years statute on them owing you, how convenient. With interest attatched that was one of the worst years of my life as I barely could make ends meet.
I feel for the guy who was just about my age to of come that far to have it all fall under threat.
Mind you, my assumptions are just that, we still know nothing of what other problems may of lurked. But at this point if he is the victim of the big brother he ranted of I feel for him

Another “I hate the Feds” hoax complete with phony facebook page with phony comments.

Hey Ace.
Would you mind clarifying or backing up your vague assertions of anything being phony ?

Nah, you just spoke too soon, micky. The MSM is on the way, I can assure you.

oh, they’re out there, see the other post on this and the comments I lifted.
Maybe its just because they know I hang here…

Well simple.
It was on his watch but I’ll attribute most of the frustration we see in the near future to Obama as the country slowly starts realizing the constitutional rug is getting yanked out from under them.
This guys problems go way back, maybe Obamas crap was the straw that broke this guys back, who knows ?
