What the fuck was that

[prog]

Please tell me that was some shitheads kicking off a ballgame and not a terrorist attack.

(By "shitheads" I refer to those who would order pilots to scare the fuck out of an entire city just to open a hot dog stand, not the pilots themselves. Of course.)

OK, discussion on davis_square seems to point to shitheads.

Dear shitheads: Why not save jet fuel and just ramp right up to fucking air-raid sirens next time? For Christ's sake?

Consensus seems to be that it was for the game.

Who to complain to?

We used to live near a naval air station and got that "scramble" thing once in a while. Yow!

I'm amazed that LJ is such a useful way to get local info!

Hmmm.

Heard and saw the jets headed west in V formation while walking home down Bacon Street.

While it has that Bangor ME feeling to it, it certainly surprised me.
