Plane crashed into a building in north Austin

Wow...a year ago I was living like 1 exit away from there

 

what im hearing is the the fbi and irs were next door - the building that got hit housed the austin division of echelon, which is basically the government center for collecting everyones email and phone records (spying on us).

and the news is now reporting that the pilot burned his house down this morning, so i think the idea that this was an accident is out.

 

I drove by not too long after it happened. iPhone pic from car:

 

^ UNSAFE DRIVER.

What about pics? Can we request pics of your coworker's cousin?

pics. we need pics.

 

Was on the phone when this happened and all the sudden I heard an explosion and the phone got a ton of interference. I work about a couple blocks away and can see the backside of the Echelon building from the office window. Been watching the smoke rise since it happened; crazy, crazy stuff...

 

Uh, I'm pretty sure it was called the Echelon Building as it being the name of an office park rather than the name of a hypothetical intergovernment spy agency.

That would be like naming your Secret Ninja Base "Secret Ninja Base"

Take it from me of all people.

 

The pilot is being reported as Joseph Andrew Stack.

 

Commercial plane was diverted and landed do to a bomb threat.

Looks like if this guy simply would have used TurboTax, all may have been avoided.

 

Used to live on braker and jollyville.

 

Regardless of how stupid his act was, that b****fest.... well, it was pretty breathtaking. Not gonna lie.

 

After reading (some) of his manifesto / suicide note, let's call this what it really is: domestic terrorist, suicide bomber.

 

This part basically sounds like "I tried to abuse the tax laws and create a fake religion and the IRS caught me".

 

wonder where the wife is?

 

I am on the 6th floor at 5th and Mopac and started seeing the black smoke rising above the tree line. This morning has been nuts.

 

Reads like he had his reasons and I don't think it's up to me to dispute his reasoning because he experienced it firsthand. Is it not true that the government and IRS screw people over and do business on an agenda that is all their own and not necessarily in the best interests of the citizens of the country. Quick to bail out big business on taxpayer money but screw the individual. In fact, putting people in prison is huge business with private companies making big money just to lock people up in facilities they build. He didn't like the truth as he saw it and, right or wrong, took matters into his own hands. Did he bring his own situation on himself? Reads like he tried to play by the rules as best he could but still got screwed. He had enough obviously.

 

Sad note but really **** that guy. You are going to state all these things and then endanger other people. He could have done it at night so that it was just a message not trying to take other people with him. No remorse for that mother ****er. I'm sorry if that seems harsh but my sister-in-law works right across the street. I plan to get negative rep by Clutch so I apologize to him for cussing.

 

Exactly. Got caught cheating on his taxes.

His little manifesto sounds a lot like some of the crap coming from our Tea Party fringe mob.
