“Plane Prompts Brief Evac­u­a­tion of White House and Capi­tol” is the story of the day. The way­ward air­craft in ques­tion? A lit­tle Cessna 150, which packs about as much bal­lis­tic power as a sty­ro­foam brick.

You may recall that in 1994, some weirdo tried to crash an iden­ti­cal Cessna 150 into Clinton’s White House bed­room. The Secret Ser­vice saw it com­ing and did the most log­i­cal thing: they dove for cover. The dam­age? The air­plane struck a Mag­no­lia tree, skid­ded along the lawn, and was stopped by some shrub­bery in front of the West Wing.

In 2002, an acne-riddled teenager flew a Cessna 172 into a Florida office build­ing. His plane’s motion was arrested by a glass window.

So scary, isn’t it! Geez.
