Trump’s Air Force One flies dangerously close to White House shocking and scaring visitors

Key Points:

• Air Force One conducted a low-altitude flyover of the White House and Washington Monument during a Halloween event, causing alarm among Washington, D.C. residents due to its unusually low altitude of 400 to 1,000 feet, below the federal guideline of 1,000 feet for military flyovers.
• The flyover, which occurred twice over the White House, was announced by President Trump about an hour before the event and gave only fifteen minutes' notice to local authorities and residents, prompting criticism from D.C. officials for the short warning.
• The event featured President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump handing out candy to children dressed in Halloween costumes, with the White House decorated for the occasion and footage shared on social media by the First Lady’s office and the White House Rapid Response account.
• The low flyover stirred anxiety among locals, recalling the tragic 9/11 attack on the Pentagon, with many expressing their concern on social media and in recordings of air traffic control communications.
• Despite the scare, the president described the flyover as a fun event for the many young children present, emphasizing the festive Halloween atmosphere at the White House.
