[serenity]

Just the White House, not the whole of washington incidently.

[almostanangel]

[almostanangel]

prob john travolta off course

[almostanangel]

dosent it scare you though...

Last time they rushed Bush down to the bunker, it was because of a cloud approaching the White House, bizarrely enough.

[almostanangel]

blimey!! must be scarey being that much of a target

[edam]

this is all BBC has so far

[bossykate]

why did they rush him down to the bunker, surely they would have thought it was his best mate god coming to pay a visit

[swiperfox]

yep sky news says security have given the all clear. That was a scary few moments

[edam]

It's hardly the brave leader standing by his people is it, though? Cowering in a bunker, terrified of clouds and leaving the public in potential danger ... not exactly the Blitz spirit. If I was a US citizen I'd want someone who led from the front, not someone who hid behind us.

[almostanangel]

crumbs! mind you all the leaders have bunkers always have had ,,,or is that bunk ups?

[almostanangel]

ok group .sigh of relief phewwwwwww
