How difficult is it to get clearance to fly a helicopter or airplane over Manhattan as they did? It seems like an unnecessary risk given the population density. For that matter wouldn't it be possible for a terrorist to get approval by

This is also another version of "last man over the bridge" which oddly enough I can't seem to find a link to define it. I thought it was a fairly well know concept. In other words it's similar in a way to old timers on a

In journalism there is frequently the case that when a story plays out, the coverage then becomes about the story itself (will try to find a reference if I can). (This one hasn't played out yet so by the play book he really needed to
