2. A partial evacuation for three hours for no reason.

And, of course, the reason doesn't matter!

Wow, thanks for "clearing that up"! That non-answer was definitely worth waiting two months for!

Then, as controllers worked to clear the skies, a small plane was spotted flying erratically above the Cleveland center. The decision was made to evacuate.

"We actually evacuated, out in the parking lot," said Rick Kettell, Cleveland air traffic manager.

Luckily, controllers there had already landed most of the planes before the evacuation. "Had that happened a half-hour earlier, I probably would have done a limited evacuation," Kettell said.

The Federal Aviation Administration is still investigating what plane that was and what it was doing. "We never did find out exactly who it was," Kettell said. "The airplane flew off to the north, and we lost radar on it."


So in his Cleveland TV interview, why do you think your former manager -- and seemingly the only person in the world who knows WHY the Cleveland Air Route Traffic Control Center, the busiest in the nation, was evacuated during the single biggest crisis in US air traffic history -- lied about the time, extent and cause of the evacuation?
