35. Riveting is right.
I was in my car too. I couldn't leave. I had to hear her every word before she went to break. There I sat, parked under a store's overhanging roof that was light-wired in a way that made my radio buzz so much that I could barely hear Randi’s voice.
But I just couldn't shut it off.

To hear all that in summary was so gripping. NORAD's inaction for nearly 1.5 hour, Bush's using children as both a backdrop and a shield. He claimed to want to protect them, but instead announced in front of them that the US had been attacked by "terrorists," which frightened them inexcusably.

Randi spoke with someone who was knowledgeable about F-16s’ flight speed, etc.
I believe he said that the jets could have intercepted the wayward airplanes within 9 minutes.
But instead the planes were allowed, with transponders off, to make huge banking U-turns, remain in the air for an incomprehensible amount of time, and make their way towards their intended targets.

Obviously stand-down orders had been given. And the cabal got their “new Pearl Harbor.”
