As reported in Wednesday's FNP, Thurmont Mayor Marty Burns was at the Pentagon on the morning of Sept. 11. "Burns was leaning against the office's doorway when an explosion rocked the Pentagon ... Pentagon employees assumed it was a bomb ... Burns joined the hustle to evacuate ... 'Where's the next bomb?' Burns and his Pentagon colleagues wondered. Even outside the building, ... Burns saw no indication that a plane had caused the damage."

Burns' recollections are consistent with the account contained in a lawsuit filed by April Gallop, who was also working at the Pentagon that morning. The following two paragraphs contain excerpts from the complaint Gallop filed in December 2008 in U.S. District Court in New York.

"[Gallop] was a career member of the US Army, a ranking specialist with top secret clearance, who had served six years, two-and-a-half of them in Germany, before being assigned to the Pentagon in 2000. Her desk was roughly 40 feet from the point where the plane allegedly hit the outside wall. As she sat down to work there was an explosion, then another; walls collapsed and the ceiling fell in. Hit in the head, she was able to ... make her way towards the daylight showing through a blasted opening in the outside wall.

Army Surveillance Drone Crashes Mid-Air Into US Air Force Cargo Plane

A military cargo plane from the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station was damaged when an unmanned drone crashed into it during an Afghanistan mission last month, officials have confirmed.

The C-130 Hercules transport plane, assigned to the 914th Airlift Wing of the Air Force, had to make an emergency landing after it was struck by the drone on Aug. 15, authorities said.

Crew members -- including at least two people from the 107th Airlift Wing of the New York Air National Guard, according to sources familiar with the incident -- were unhurt.

"That's very rare ... I've never heard of that happening before," said Keith J. Mackey, an aviation safety consultant. "Without a doubt, the crew is lucky that no one was hurt. If the drone had crashed into the cockpit and disabled the crew, it could have brought the [cargo] plane down."

The incident is likely to fuel further debate about the military's increased use of remote-controlled drones in the Middle East and whether drones are safe in American airspace, Mackey said.

Military officials declined to say Friday whether any men or women based in Niagara Falls were aboard, but three sources with knowledge of the incident said members of the 107th -- which is based in the Falls -- were on the plane.
