A hijacking, a flooding and Michael Brown.
The Plane Over New Orleans

My hands tremble as my children cry.

Our plane's been hijacked, are we going to die?

The famous Twin Towers, they don't exist anymore.

Hijacked planes turned buildings into a floor.

New Orleans is swimming; London was on fire.

A story like this, the media most desire.

Passengers scream and shout as I quietly sit.

The media doesn't know about us because Michael Brown quit.

Explanation


On the day Michael Brown resigned from F.E.M.A, a plane in Columbia was hijacked by a male and his wheelchaired, grenade carrying father. The hijackers surrendered five hours later and left the passengers and flight crew unharmed.

It's too bad nobody else knew about this.
