Air Force One NYC Fly Over Claims Political Victim

That Infamous fly over of Air Force One in late April over the Statue of Liberty ended up claiming the career of the director of the White House Military office. Louis Caldera, 53, resigned on May 8th after taking responsibility for the event.
The "stunt" caused more than a little bit of panic in New York City when Air Force One was doing a low altitude flight over parts of Manhattan which ended up frightening more than a few wealthy manhattanites in their high rise condos. The plane was taking part in a photo op to update some publicity pics and Caldera wanted to get some shots of the plane flying over the city and the Statue of Liberty. The flight was unannounced and the public was unaware of it until they saw the plane flying low in the sky. It caused a little bit of a panic and some believed that it was another 9-11 type attack. The reason the flight was not announced to the public ahead of time was likely due to fears of a terrorist attack on the plane. You cant just come out and say ahead of time that yeah Air force One is going to be flying right over the Statue Of Liberty at say 10:00 a.m. on such and such a date without inviting the possibility that some terrorist or other kind of nut might just show up at the same time and try to take some shots at the plane or something. This was likely the reason it was kept quiet. Caldera took a lot of heat from critics anyway for not letting people know about the flight in advance. Once the reaction from the public was so negative it left little choice that he would have to go despite his legitimate reasons for doing it the way he did.
