I dunno if it was a big deal in Manila...but this has been front page news over here (well, here in the East, as far as I can tell). Washington D.C. was on alert last Wednesday, May 11th, as an unidentified plane strayed into D.C.'s no-fly zone. It's pretty exciting news, actually...the first "scare" since 9/11.
And I was right *there* in the middle of all the action!
My family and I took the Old Town Trolley tours through D.C. last May 11th. We were supposed to stay on the trolley for the whole route, but then the White House stop came up...and who could resist the White House, right? So we all went down to take some pictures...we walked around the park, taking our sweet time...and my dad asked a nearby guard where the nearest bus stop was. He was polite and very helpful, saying "Oh just go down this block and take a left." And then all of a sudden, "Can you make it quick folks. Please move away from the White House!"
Weh?

And then all of a sudden, we noticed guards with big machine guns, shouting at people to move a block away from the White House. A few moments later, a motorcade raced across the street, complete with police escorts and sirens! Hehehe. Coolness. We were all taking pictures, completely ignoring the fact that this *might* be a real emergency. All the while I thought that someone important may be coming up the driveway or something. :p Only found out in the news that night what all the ruckus was all about. :p
