From CNN... (http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/04/27/low.flying.plane/index.html)
"A White House official apologized Monday after a low-flying Boeing 747 spotted above the Manhattan skyline frightened workers and residents into evacuating buildings. Witnesses reported seeing the plane circle over the Upper New York Bay near the Statue of Liberty. The huge aircraft, which functions as Air Force One when the president is aboard, was taking part in a classified, government-sanctioned photo shoot, the Federal Aviation Administration said."
I am a native New Yorker, and I have been to New York numerous times since 9/11, during which I lost two relatives bravely serving in the FDNY. Even today the sight from Midtown of jets at 4000 feet on approach to LaGuardia or Kennedy give a little bit of a shiver over 7 years after the fact. So, how scary must this have been?
Funny thing of course, is that everyone involved in this dimwit scenario followed all the exact right processes and procedures. Except the procedure for a sanity check against what would be an incredibly stupid move.
Do you have a process for that in your business once all the operational hurdles are cleared? Remember, common sense is not nearly so common as the term implies...
