Don’t press the panic button

New York City : NY : USA | 7 months ago  
Views: 64

Today everybody is always in a state of tenseness and anxiety. Fears of disasters and accidents loom on the horizon with additional threats of terrorist strikes. Therefore when people saw a Boeing 747 aircraft being escorted by fighter aircrafts and flying past the dreaded area of where the Twin Towers once stood, there was panic. Office goers rushed out into the streets and there was total chaos. But, it was later known that it as an exercise carried out on ‘Air force One’ – the special aero plane built for the President of the USA. It was actually an aerial photo mission and training for crew members of the President's flying fleet. Calm was restored but the authorities should keep people informed in advance about such exercises to prevent panic.
