A fascinating series of coincidences....

Regarding the WE towers that overturned next to Mitchell International Airport and FBI notification...

Quote from the article:
"But the FBI was contacted because of the incident was unusual, she said."

John Edwards landed at Signature Airlines at Mitchell International about an hour before this occurred.

Could that possibly be the real reason the FBI was notified.

(By the way, Barack Obama was also at the Signature Hangar - my guess would be to meet with Senator Edwards. He had been in Milwaukee - at Washington Park for a Feingold rally at 10:00 am. where he gave a phenomenal speech.)

1. Really? I hadn't heard about this.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

4. Thanks...

:hi:...Appreciate the welcome.

I hadn't heard about it either. I was at the Edward's rally at the Signature Hangar at the airport. All three television stations had their mobile vans there. The power was still on when I left. By the time I got home, the power outage was the big story, and nothing about Edwards being in Milwaukee until Sunday morning.

2. This incident might be the reason for Russert's odd comment on MTP

MTP transcript from 10-10-04

MR. RUSSERT: Senator, we thank you for your views, as always. And I hope you and your family are safe on the campaign trail.

SEN. EDWARDS: Thank you very much, Tim.

3. Bolts on the towers were removed per the J/S

They are calling it "sabotage", so do the Beastie Boys need to be worried?

Glad everyone is safe though...

5. Well, if it is sabotage,

My guess would be it's aimed at WE, not the democratic presidential ticket.

It's the timely response of a Federal organization to which I attribute the presence of John Edwards. :-)
