AUSTIN, Texas (AP) _ Callers to 911 emergency officials in February told of seeing and hearing a fiery plane crash at an Austin office building and of a chaotic scene with people running all around.
Some callers were frantic and others remarkably calm in the 911 recordings released Monday by the Austin Police Department. Some said they worked in nearby buildings or were driving by at the time. It wasn’t clear whether any were calling from inside the burning building.
Joseph Stack III crashed his small plane into an IRS office building Feb. 18. One person besides Stack was killed and several were injured. Stack left behind a rambling anti-government manifesto.
One caller to the police department that day said, “I’m calling about the explosion … Oh my God!”
