Anyone see the low flying 747 in Manhattan today?

Readers: Did You See the Low-Flying Jet Over Lower Manhattan? - The Middle Seat Terminal - WSJ

Apparently this was a military "photo op" by the DoD. Extremely strange if you ask me Wouldn't it behoove them to let everyone know in advance to avoid fear and confusion??

This is the "White House Military Office" completely different than DoD.

The CEO's office is in the area...she says several buildings performed emergency evacuations, during which, a number of people suffered asthma and anxiety attacks, and an older fella on her floor sprained an ankle while rushing for the stairs. Besides AF-one there was a fighter jet that flew eerily low to the downtown buildings.

Couldn't some jackass just photoshop the thing together for him and save a few million in the process? What a complete tool.
