In short, unless the military was on high alert/scramble to begin with, AND got immediate notification from the FAA as soon as the flights deviated off course, it is highly unlikely they would have intercepted the airliners.
The government has a general trend of this: It is silly to suspect malice, when mere ignorance will suffice. I think it is more than likely that the pieces weren't in place for one reason or another, and the system was not ready to handle an intercept. It's possible to say that the entire 911 incident was the result of negligence and miscommunication, passively or perhaps, PERHAPS actively. Conversely, in order for the US to pull off an entirely inside job, they would have had to have flawless planning and communication, and have the entire thing go off without a hitch. I don't give ANY single or group of humans, let alone the US government, the possibility of having something go off without any hitches.Statistics: Posted by NucleicAcid — 05 Apr 2010, 02:39
