A top White House aide resigned for his role in the Presidential aircraft’s $328,835 photo-opportunity flyover above New York City that sparked panic and flashbacks to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

RECRIMINATIONS continued yesterday after a White House photo opportunity saw a low flying plane skim New York’s skyline, provoking fears and memories of a September 11-type attack.

President Barack Obama today described as a “mistake” a photo opportunity staged by the White House in which a low-flying plane skimmed New York’s skyline, provoking memories of the 9/11 attack.
