Stack set his house on fire with his wife Sheryl and his 12 year old daughter in it.

They were saved by neighbors.

1. Good to know

I was having trouble getting a clear story from most of the news coverage I've seen today, which has focused almost exclusively on the site of the crash.

[blogslut]

2. Yes he did

Fuck that guy.

3. They're still trying to figure everything out

my cousin was supposed to go in that building today, but went to another site instead (thank God). I've been told that it could have been a lot worse, but still 1 person missing & 1 flown to SA to the Brooke Army burn unit. They still don't know if he was trying to kill his family first or not.

Needless to say, my family is still in shock, but relieved my cousin is okay.

4. You keep posting this, but I have seen it reported that they were

not in the house. I have never seen it reported that a neighbor pulled them out. One of the Austin TV news stations has it on their website that they drove up to see the house burning. Please provide link.

5. I found it online but the report may not be correct.

I posted it again because if it was true, it is something that people might like to know.

8. As soon as I heard it was from Texas, I knew it couldn't be OK.

I have this eerie feeling about these strange Texas men who just can't seem to take it anymore. One shot and killed my neice with a legal handgun. So don't even GO THERE with me.

I just knew it was no left wing person. Didn't fit the persona. Sad that I had his number from way back. Sad that I even HAD a "way back."

A lot of sadness from Texas, once again in my life...

9. Have you read any of the information

on this individual or do you just prefer to make uninformed ridiculous statements?

[CTyankee]

12. Making statements based on what we do know about this guy.

Dude publishes on the Internet a "Manifesto" outlining his hatred and his obvious mental illness, burns down his house in a fit of rage after his wife and daughter flee him, gets in a plane full of fuel and flies it into an office building, killing an employee and causing a conflagration. What else do you want to know?

Do you have something else teeming in your mind that you would like to say to me?

14. He grew up in PA, lived in Calif much of his adult life and then moved to Texas in 2001

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) ― Records at a Pennsylvania college match a man that authorities say piloted his airplane into a Texas office building over a federal tax dispute.

Harrisburg Area Community College spokesman Patrick Early says engineering student Andrew J. Stack III collected nearly 60 credits at the school from 1975 to 1977 but left without getting a degree.

Early says Stack's last address on file was in Corona, Calif., in 1999. His month and year of birth match other records for Joseph Stack, believed to be the pilot in Thursday's crash in Austin, Texas.

A spokeswoman for Milton Hershey School in Hershey says Andrew Joseph Stack III graduated from the school in 1974.

An anti-government message on a Web site linked to Stack describes his life as a cash-strapped college student living in Harrisburg in the 1970s.

According to Joe Stack's letter, he moved to Austin sometime after 2001

11. FALSE REPORT in OP. Real news says wife and daughter were NOT in the house

Fire crews responded this morning to a fire at the home of a person who owned a plane that crashed into a Northwest Austin office building.
The house, in the 1800 block of Dapplegrey Lane close to Parmer Lane and Metric Boulevard, was owned by Andrew Joseph Stack, records show.
There were no injuries in the blaze, and the house is total loss, officials said.
Neighbors said they heard a loud noise that sounded like a car crash at about 9:15 a.m. and soon saw flames coming from house.
Neighbor Elbert Hutchins said he ran to the house while calling 911 and saw flames coming out of an upstairs window. Soon he saw a woman and a girl drive up in a car.
Neighbors believe that was Stack’s wife and daughter, who is about 12 years old.
The two are now believed to be in a neighbor’s house being assisted by the Red Cross. When reporters went to the door, an FBI agent answered.
A Red Cross spokewoman would only say they are assisting two people who are “remarkably calm, clearly distraught.” She said they are “physically fine.”
Dane Vick, whose home is behind Stack’s house, said he called 911 to report the house fire. He described it as an explosion. “I heard a humongous boom,” he said.
Vick said he went to the house and yelled, “Anyone in there. Everyone OK?”
“There was no movement,” he said....

13. All of the news reports I've seen said they drove up to the house while it was on fire.

I haven't seen anything other than this post that implied they were inside. Do you have a source?
