Matbe it's unfair to characterize what happened a few hours ago here in Austin so early in the "investigation", but, to give some background (like I'm some sort of journalist): a small single engine plane crashed into a building near the US HWY 183 and TX 360 interchange in north Austin, rather close to us, right around 10 am local time.
A little more background, as things have come to light: a housefire was burning, also in northern Austin, around 9 am, and everyone in the house is fine and accounted for--except the husband. Who is missing. And owns a small single engine plane. The building that was hit seems to be a federal building, at first they were saying IRS, then they were saying maybe some IRS office and some other offices, and other sources are saying DHS. TV crews said the federal government was not very forthcoming with which exact offices were housed here. Hmm.
An eyewitness report said the plane was about full throttle, or at least the engine sounded as such, and headed straight into the building. He was saying that either the plane was in very bad shape, with most instruments malfunctioning, or it was a deliberate dive. Other witnesses said that they saw the plane buzzing apartment complexes, cruising between 30 and 50 feet.
Like I've said before, follow Achim's Razor...sounds like a deliberate crash into a federal building (how would somebody know which building? Hmm) with a stolen plane (possibly, some reports are that the plane is stolen)...stolen or not, sounds like some domestic terrorism to me.
