12. Veeery interesting...

So why did Rick Kettell tell the Akron Beacon Journal that the plane that caused the evacuation landed at an airport "north of Oberlin?"


After the plane crashed, a small aircraft was spotted flying over the city of Oberlin, Kettell said.

``I made a decision to evacuate the facility except for a bare minimum staffing,'' he said.

That plane eventually landed at an airport north of Oberlin, he said.

I have to say this is pretty confusing. Here Kettell says the "small plane" landed at a not-existing airport; on another occasion - look at stickdog's post #2 - he says it "disappeared from radar".

Then we have Stacey Taylor relating that UA 93 was the plane that caused the evacuation, and I remember someone - was it you, coincidentally? - saying that Delta 1989 was the reason.

I mean, we're not talking about a boring routine exercise you forget after some days. We're talking about an absolute unique situation where every controller was needed to ground thousands of planes. An evacuation ot the biggest ARTCC in the USA is certainly not the best idea inmidst this situation if you're not 100% sure that it's 100% necessary, don't you agree?

I think Rick Kettell is a good candidate to testify in front of the next 9/11 panel.
