Rocco Parascandola, police reporter for Newsday, talks about the cancellation of a military plane fly-over lower Manhattan, in the wake of the Air Force One photo-op outrage.
Of course, if Mayor Mordechai (Mike) Bloomberg did know about the Air Force One event and didn't do anything,its much worse. Many would like not to believe that this Mayor is so caught up in running his company (through front people)and hob-knobbing with elitist billionaire friends at his multiple homes throughout the world that he is distracted from a jetliner flying into downtown Manhattan in broad daylight. Guess what? Believe it.

Why hasn't Bloomberg administration been held to account by the Blue Room ? Marc Mugnos, the mid-level City Hall staffer had responsibility to alert the Mayor and the Mayor had the responsibility to know about this outrageous stunt and to not allow it to happen- this was Bloomberg's 9/11 failure- allowing an unknown jet to fly into downtown Manhattan without the slightest awareness. Aside from the horrifying consequences we each know all too well, what exact difference was there between this event and September 11: a large jet flying very close and low into densely packed airspace in lower Manhattan and nobody in city government(except Mark Mugnos, who decided to keep this to himself)seemed to be aware. Sad to say, but, how quickly people forget.
