Fiery holocaust in Texas as an irate software engineer plows passenger plane into Austin office building. Reason? He was mad at the IRS, Feds say.
A low-flying plane slammed into the building as a fireball ignited, windows shattered and office workers fled for their lives, witnesses said earlier.
US law officials id-ed the alleged suicidal pilot as Joseph Stack and the ENQUIRER has learned from investigators that he had left an inflammatory anti-US government rant on a website outlining his problems with the IRS, saying violence “is the only answer.”
Federal law enforcement officials told AP they were investigating whether the pilot slammed into the Austin building on purpose in an effort to blow up IRS offices.
An except of Stack’s web warning was released to media: "I saw it written once that the definition of insanity is repeating the same process over and over and expecting the outcome to suddenly be different. I am finally ready to stop this insanity.
“Well, Mr. Big Brother IRS man, let’s try something different; take my pound of flesh and sleep well," Stack declared before the launch of his one-man-attack.
Federal officials presume Stack perished in the crash, after setting fire to his home earlier. Neither his wife nor daughter were home when the fire started.
One theory is that Stack loaded his plane with explosives prior to take-off intending to sign his death wish with a conflagration of purpose.
