Tax office version of 9/11

A TEXAS man, Joseph Andrew Stack, set his house on fire, then stole a small plane and crashed it into a building containing a federal tax office on Thursday, CNN reported citing federal officials. "This was apparently -- according to an official -- a deliberate act," CNN anchor Tony Harris said.
The inset shows the building after the small plane crashed into it. The plane struck the second floor of the seven-story building in Austin, Texas about 10 am and burst into flames in a massive explosion that forced people to flee out of the windows, witnesses and officials said. There was "no known link to terrorism" the Department of Homeland Security said, noting that the cause of the crash was not yet known.
North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) launched two F-16 fighter aircraft from Ellington Field in Houston, Texas to conduct an air patrol in response to the crash.
Two people were taken to hospital and one person was unaccounted for, but fire officials said they believed everyone else had been evacuated.
Fate of the pilot was not immediately clear. Now it is known that he has left the world and left the people still on it an angry anti-tax agency web page.
