Default Building beside the FBI in Austin hit by a plane...

Looks like it was a smaller aircraft from the pictures, but clearly there is a fire still burning.

Live on your TV right now.

They are now saying there's no signs of this being an act of terrorism.

If it was jetliner loaded with fuel...maybe, but since they have identified it as a single engine 4 seater, i doubt it.

yeah this looks like it would do similar damage as a fully loaded jet.

Well I'll be sure to be watching BBC news so they can tell me that the building next door that was struck with debris has collapsed (which of course they will report twenty minutes before any collapse actually happens!)

I'm sure they will try to pin this one on a 9/11 truth movement guy or something.

The plane's pilot set his house on fire, went to the airport and stole the plane and intentionally crashed it into this building....according to a federal official.

Yikes.

So, the guy who was flying the plane set his house on fire first, stole the plane and then crashed it into the building.

CNN is saying 199 IRS employees worked in the building.

Wonder if he had some tax problems.

How do they know his name already? I'm thinking he warned someone and that someone did nothing about it.
