    Holy crap, I saw some billowing smoke on the way to work.

    Didn't expect that.

    My wife just called me and asked me to looked it up on the news, cause she just drove by the area. She said it must have been recent when she called because there wasn't much emergency support there when she went by.

    Kind of crazy.

    It was a piper. The IRS and the FBI occupy that building.

    No news here. Is this an attack?

    Might be a lone guy like what happened in Tampa months after 9/11.

    I just hope it was a "pilot error" incident like Cory Lidle in NY as opposed to terrorism.

    My wife and kids are just up 183 @ Oak Knoll from there. Apparently, the fumes are bad enough that they're keeping the kids inside for the daycare.

    you sure about that?

    Just wondering because I've been to some of those bldgs in the past and don't remeber them being in them. Not saying they aren't, just curious

    I heard a report that those agencies are in the area...not for sure they're in that building.

    No, I am merely repeating what I heard on the local news feed. It could very well be speculation on their part.

    Definitely the IRS is in that building. My coworker's cousin was in her office (she's an auditor for the IRS...no jokes necessary, please) on the 4th floor. She's out safely as her office was on the other side of the building.

    The FBI's at Far West and Mopac. And the IRS is at Hwy 71 and IH 35.


    BTW, I'm checking in - luckily (or unluckily) I work by the airport. And I'll go ahead and check in for DT too (I was just on the phone with him). He works out in Rollingwood.

    Just heard about this. Looks like a lot of damage on TV.

    Early speculation is....some dip**** set his house on fire and intentionally crashed a plane into the building because he had a beef with the IRS.
