EDIT: The FBI has since corrected themselves and are now treating it as an act of terror.

The FBI is investigating the NO attack as an act of terrorism. This is how misinformation spreads.
At the time the N.O. Mayor's office was arguing that it was not a terrorist attack. The FBI is now looking into it as a terror attack. Things change. It happens.
EDIT: Sorry, busy morning and got it turned around. Mayor's office said it wasn't terrorism, FBI said it wasn't but has since changed their tune.
~~Shocker that when big, horrendous events happen that it's all chaos and people not knowing what's happening for hours and hours afterwards.~~ ~~ You know, not everything is a big fucking conspiracy. Sometimes its just different groups operating on different levels of available information and on different opinions on said information in the immediate aftermath of a horrific disaster.. I doubt the New Orleans mayor spends a ton of time working with the FBI, a completely separate organization.~~
~~Nobody knew what the fuck was happening in the first hours after 9/11 either, so much so that they changed laws about information sharing between organizations due to the lack of clear communications at the time, which only ever sort of helped.~~
~~See also: A BBC journalist saying WTC 7 had collapsed while WTC 7 was standing behind her in the background. The BBC was working off an incorret Reuters report when they made the report and I don't expect a foreign news correspondent to be super familiar with which building WTC 7 actually was. Mistakes and miscommunications happen.~~
I take it all back, it's because the guy is fucking Muslim. I guess the War on Terror never ended.
I think he was also flying an isis flag.
