LOS ANGELES, October 21, 2005, Flights into Los Angeles International Airport were temporarily delayed on Thursday. This was due to a FAA issued Temporary Flight Restriction to clear air space for the landing of Air Force One. The main North/South Freeway 405 for LA was closed during rush hour creating grid lock for much of West LA. Bush may have picked up an extra million or two at his fundraiser but he made no friends with Los Angeles commuters yesterday.
Also from reports on the LA-IMC newswire it seems that large sections of major surface streets were also blocked off leaving motorists with few alternate routes.
It has now been discovered that all this mess was caused by the route taken to get Bush to a Republican fundraiser held at the Bel Air home of a Mr. Robert Day TODAY's BUSH ALERT: Roads in the area of 405 Fwy & Sunset Blvd. Closed 4 -8 p.m || Bush Fundraiser Held at the Bel Air home of Robert Day.
