False Alarm Prompts White House Lockdown
Wednesday, April 27, 2005
WASHINGTON – President Bush was rushed to a secure underground White House bunker and Vice President Dick Cheney was whisked outside the compound Wednesday because of a “radar anomaly” – perhaps a flock of birds or pocket of rain – that was mistaken for a plane flying in restricted airspace.
…
They moved the president and vice president out of danger. Officers toting shotguns raced around the compound taking up positions. A surface-to-air missile battery recently installed on the roof of a nearby building was raised to fire position. Some White House staff members were evacuated from the West Wing. Tour groups were hustled out of the executive mansion and a park across the street from the White House was cleared.
Some parts of the compound, such as the area where the press is housed, were not notified of the threat or moved.</i>
Sorta shows what they think of the press up there, doesn’t it? Sheesh.
