I googled "Cheney ordered Flight 93 shot down" to get the facts before starting this thread

Jeebus! I guess from W sitting there staring for 9 minutes everyone was clueless while innocents died. The pols have the unmitigated gall to declare this "Patriots Day"!!! I'm getting angrier by the moment.

Get it all out in the sunshine to expose the rot. Never happen, but I can dream.

7. I worked at the Pentagon in 2001

I know for a fact they sent fighter jets after flight 93. because they said it was headed for either the capital or the WH. Shortly after that we got word that it had been "taken down"

I have never seen the movie about that flight and I 1000%reject the storyline that the guest of flight 93 intentionally crashed that plane in an open field with no ground casualties. That plane was rubble because it was taken down by force.

8. I like the let's roll story, but agree it had to taken down.

10. Then why no reconstruction??????

None done on ANY planes. We bring up flight 800 from the Atlantic, but putting flight 93 back together was too hard I guess. LOL!

9. You're angry

Just think of how us "truthers" feel. There was no call to shoot anything down. So the mighty Pentagon was as weak as a kitten just sitting there while a slow passenger "plane" hits them. A plane that had no seat debris. A plane that vaporized, but they were still able to get human DNA and trace it back. LOL! 9/11 is EVERYDAY till the "real" terrorist get tried. I highly doubt Poppy Bush, Bush jr, and Cheney will ever see that day. We'll just continue to blame the other brown people.

11. I think it's good that once a year we get to talk about this stuff in GD,

and not get it banned to the dungeon. The facts have not been presented yet.

12. When I served in an Air Defence unit the rules of engagement

for when an airliner was out of route, with the transponder turned off and not responding was to put it down if it was headed towards a likely target, i.e. a city, a base, etc. This would be the 2 that hit the WTC and the 1 that hit the Pentagon. The one in open country would've been followed by fighters ready to fire missiles if the plane changed course.

Since there is no Air Force Command with the single mission of Continental air defense I have no idea what the rules are-- or if there are any.
