Also, why is evacuation from a big building a good idea when there is a small rogue plane in the area? I'd rather be inside something if a plane were to land on me. I mean, if it's several stories high, I can see going to the ground floor, but wandering around outside, you just have a BULLS EYE right on your back.

...an "unauthorized" takeoff?

Were the proper forms not filed??

HEY! If the pilot had done a suicide dive into the strip mall (an obvious terrorist target) he could have BROKEN WINDOWS!!!!! and wreaked the window displays!!!

How much you wanna bet that the "authorities" that requested the evacuation were elected.

Thank goodness the TSA will soon regulate GA and protect us all from rouge pilots and small airplanes!!!!!

He must not have had one of those mandatory flight plans. It's a miracle he didn't crash on that basis alone.

Just what in the heck did all that mean?

Only thing I can think of is that he did not contact the tower. But, yeah, what did they mean by it.

Surround the mall with Ryder trucks so they can all feel safe.

What are you referring to? The "unauthorized takeoff"? or something else?
