Austin Texas Plane Crash at the Echelon Building

The Echelon Building in Austin Texas houses many federal agencies such as the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) but Homeland Security officials on site do not believe this is terrorist related. This building also houses the Scientific Investigation and Instruction Institute whose offices sustained damages. http://www.si3.org/

The man who crashed in to the office building is Joseph Andrew Stack according to a report published the MediaElites website. http://mediaelites.com/?tag=echelon-building. This report states the man had set fire to his own home and then drove to the airport where he got into his private plane.

It is also reported that Mr. Stack made more than one pass around the building before he intentionally crashed it into the Echelon Building in Austin, Texas.

The plane involved was a Cirrus SR 22, which is a small plane, built by Cirrus Designs. This plane was built to serve the purpose of personal flights. One pilot is needed for this plane making it popular. It only has four seats. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirrus_SR22

How to Get a Cab in Austin

If you're finishing up a meal at a restaurant and need a ride back to your home or hotel room, why not ask your waiter or waitress to call a cab for you? Chances are high that they'll be familiar with cab services in Austin and should know who to call. That being said, even if they're not so sure, the restaurant will likely have a phone book with a Yellow Pages section lying around somewhere as well as someone on staff who has enough experience to make a quality cab company recommendation. Restaurants with well stocked bars are often quite used to assisting intoxicated customers with getting home safely, and will likely even let you leave your car parked where it is until you can soberly retrieve it the next day.
