DoD PWNS NYC

When you wake up and see the below trend on Google's Top 100 search queries for the day - you know NYers are freaking out about something...

Turns out, said something was a pre-meditated moment of carelessness by the US Department of Defense, which had approved the flight of a 747 and two F16 military fighter jets over Lower Manhattan (YEAH - LOWER MANHATTAN) as part of an authorized military photo shoot.  Say wha?

According to NY1 - the city knew about the operation, but was ordered NOT to disclose the information to the public.  Nice.
