When golfer Payne Stewart died in a plane crash it was immediately known that the plane had lost cabin pressure. How did they know this, because 7 minutes after the plane lost contact with air traffic control, the air force had an F-16 up there to see what was going on and the pilot made visual confirmation that it lost pressure.
F-16s are always on standby if shit goes down and they go into action immediately if there is ever a possible threat. That was just one example.
Now on 9/11, the first plane hit and the NTSB and Air traffic control knew we were under terrorist attack. Then what, 15 minutes later the second plane hit, then the third "crashed" in PA, and there was a 4th flying straight toward Washington DC.
If nobody knew what was happening the second plane would have been shot down as soon as it lost contact with air traffic control, so would have the third plane.
Now the 4th plane, 45min after we knew we were under attack, with Andrews Air Force base right there would have probably been shot out of the sky if an Arab had even stood up to go take a piss.
I dont think our govt was behind the attacks or anything, but there is much more to the story than we hear on the news. I remember hearing initial reports that 8 planes had been hijacked, which turned out to be false. But it would not suprise me if 8 were and we were only able to shoot down 5 in the 45 minute time frame of the attack.
Our miitary is way too good to let something like that just happen.
