I was just reminded of an incident. I think it was around 2002 (definitely after 9/11) and I was working at a store about 1/2 block away from Love Field on Mockingbird Lane. Bush was in town at a fundraising luncheon and AF2 was at Love Field. Images on my computer screen started “twitching” (the best way I can describe it), like there was some sort of static interference or something. Seconds later, there was a huge *BOOM* and what sounded like something landing on the roof of the store. All the employees ran outside to check and while we were talking with neighbors about the noise, AF2 took off within a couple minutes of the loud noise. We turned on the TV in the store and Bush was on the news, with a banner that said “Live from ________” (whatever hotel he was speaking at). We all knew it wasn’t live because we had just watched AF2 take off. There was never any news about the boom we all heard, and no news stories about the president leaving in a big hurry right after it. Maybe the two weren’t related but it sure seemed so to us at the time.
