EDIT: The FBI has since corrected themselves and are now treating it as an act of terror.

~~Shocker that when big, horrendous events happen that it's all chaos and people not knowing what's happening for hours and hours afterwards.~~ ~~ You know, not everything is a big fucking conspiracy. Sometimes its just different groups operating on different levels of available information and on different opinions on said information in the immediate aftermath of a horrific disaster.. I doubt the New Orleans mayor spends a ton of time working with the FBI, a completely separate organization.~~

~~Nobody knew what the fuck was happening in the first hours after 9/11 either, so much so that they changed laws about information sharing between organizations due to the lack of clear communications at the time, which only ever sort of helped.~~

~~See also: A BBC journalist saying WTC 7 had collapsed while WTC 7 was standing behind her in the background. The BBC was working off an incorret Reuters report when they made the report and I don't expect a foreign news correspondent to be super familiar with which building WTC 7 actually was. Mistakes and miscommunications happen.~~

I take it all back, it's because the guy is fucking Muslim. I guess the War on Terror never ended.
