WASHINGTON — A top White House aide resigned Friday for his role in a presidential jet’s photo-op flyover above New York City that sparked panic and flashbacks to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Louis Caldera, whose office approved the photo-op, said the controversy had made it impossible for him to effectively lead the White House Military Office.
The sight of the passenger jet and an F-16 fighter plane flying past the Statue of Liberty and the lower Manhattan financial district sent panicked office workers streaming into the streets April 27.
