An Air Force One lookalike, the backup plane for the one regularly used by the president, flew low over Manhattan on Monday morning, accompanied by two F-16 fighters, so Air Force photographers could take pictures. But a lack of awareness about the flyover led to the evacuation of several buildings in Lower Manhattan, and perplexed officials at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and other authorities were inundated with calls from anxious ferry passengers, office workers and residents in the area.

Some construction workers said that the plane came within maybe 20 feet from a building.

I REALLY doubt that part!
Although, if I was on top of one of those buildings, it may have SEEMED like 20 feet!
