NY flyover! Too close.. in more than one way...

I honestly found absolutely nothing interesting to talk about on netvibes. I went to cnn.com to look for their headlines, and they were much more interesting. I am not looking for just something fun to write. Don`t get me wrong, I just went for something else, because I actually want to care what I write about. I don`t want to write about “How Twitter is Limited”, it is really none of my interesting, I could write as many words as I would like, but they wouldn`t mean anything. I believe the point of this assignment is not just fill up space in our blogs, but find something that appeals to you and give it a review on the blog, so that is why I went to another website. It is now 10:54, I sat here in front of this computer at 9:45, this whole time, I looked for articles and even starting writing some reviews just to get it over with, but it was just killing me to write about something I believe is of no importance to me. So here we go.

NY Flyover

On Tuesday a Boeing 747 flew over NY, creating panic and confusion on people. President Obama was furious when he heard about the news. It was a miscommunication and a very bad mistake, but lets analyze this deeper than what actually happened.

This was more than just a mistake. It was being insensitive and just poking a unhealed wound. Gen – Y should remember what happened last time airplanes were flying so close to the city in New York. That was a moment in our lives that none of us can forget. Everyone that is in my age knows exactly where they were when they heard about it, saw it or felt it. It was one of the greatest moments of togetherness in history. Everyone was connected watching every second of what was going on in your TV. To do something similar like that, regardless of how many years ago it was its just something terrifically insensitive. Not only to Americans or people who suffered at the time and still do, but it was a blow to the whole world. Just for one second to think that something like that was happening again.



They say the Police knew about it all but were told to not tell anyone. This was a great fault of communication between people in power. If we can’t trust those in power to communicate among them, how are we supposed to except them to tell us anything?

Gen – Y

Our generation has a lot to learn from this “small” event, but still extremely big. We need to know that a miscommunication can lead to terrible things. Communication is the base of it all. It is what keeps the world together. With this event we can see how communication is so important to the world. We saw how important it is to keep everything clear between one another, and also we saw the same phenomenon that has happened plenty of time. The Internet started to bubble with the news. People got footage in their phones, digital cameras, and in matter of minutes the whole world knew what was going on.



Not only from the news on TV, but from the network that they are a part of. There we people putting films on Youtube, talking about it on twitter. It was something that truly made the community bubble, and one more time prove that people are connected in more ways than we can imagine. We have to keep our eyes out, for anything that pops out online. It could be your next scoop. Keep close view on every means of communications, because today is not only from the news that we get information, but also from each other.

Here is someone giving their insight about what happened:
