1. Thought it was too good to be true. Oh, well, there's more to come.

2. Damn I thought we got him

[Politicalboi]

3. He didn't fly over, but

There must have been some who were at the 9/11 circus who had to wait in that horrible traffic jam.

6. Unlikely

First, there was no jam if you were coming from the NJ turnpike or Routes 1/9. The jam was on local streets in Fort Lee due to the lane closures on the on-ramp. Through traffic from farther west was largely unaffected, aside from having two more toll booths available than usual.

Second, from the Trenton areas, and most of NJ, you wouldn't go up to the GWB to get to lower Manhattan unless something were severely wrong at the tunnels.

8. What is unlikely is that Christie finish his term

For abusing the people of Ft Lee for dollars.
Christie is FUCKED. Yay!!

4. He claimed he did????

Haven't kept track of all his lies.....

[okaawhatever]

7. No, he never said he did. There was a thought that he had flown over the GWB which if true, would

have shown he did know about it before he claimed he did.

10. Right. It was reported that his flight records were subpoenaed...

...and that led to speculation as to why, so further speculation about a flyover.

Upon further information, it seems the answer to that is "nope".

5. The FAA will know. Fort Lee is within the Teterboro Airport Traffic Area.

If the helicopter flew up and down the Hudson, they wouldn't be in it.


If they were over land, on the NJ side, they would be in the ATA and must maintain contact with the tower.

No decent pilot would be up in the Teterboro area WITHOUT tower control, especially for traffic advisories.

This would be doubly important for an aircraft that contains a governor of a state.

They would definitely be in touch with the tower, and that would be logged.
