If all of the planes had left on time

then Bush wouldn't have gotten stuck sitting in a 2nd grade classroom with glue on his butt.

All the planes were scheduled for take off between 7:45 AM and 8:01 AM, a 15 minute window. The attack should have been over by 9:00 AM.

1. Planes leave on time? That's a good one.

3. That was why they picked the first flights out in the morning

Those flights almost always leave on time.

2. If the planes left on time

If those planes departed on time, there may have been a lot fewer people in the towers during the attack, and many more people might not have been killed. If the planes had left even later, there could have been more than twice the casualties. Of course, it Bush had read that infamous intelligence report, the planes might not have had hijackers at all.
