Air Force photo op evokes 9/11 for New Yorkers
An Air Force One Boeing 747 trailed by two fighter jets swooping low in the sky over New York triggers fears of a nightmarish September 11 replay.
The planes circled the Statue of Liberty and flew close to the World Trade Center site as part of a government photo op at 10 am on Monday morning.
The half-hour exercise, which was conducted without any notification to the public, panicked workers in some areas and forced evacuations at scores of buildings in Lower Manhattan and Jersey City.
