12358e4dda1e tech Hello Robert - CA>> I'm confused that we spend all the money we do for GSA, CA>> NSA, FBI, CIA, and others plus spy satellites and can't CA>> get advance warnings of such an event nor locate two CA>> missing airliners in time to force them down (or shoot CA>> them down if need be). RS> My understanding is that they were told NOT to scramble, RS> because, at that time, we believed that the skyjackers RS> wanted to survive, and that trying to negotiate and then RS> waiting for the plane(s) to land was safest and was what we RS> expected to happen. It sounds harsh but our willingness to 'negotiate' only encourages more of the same. Hijack a plane and we shoot you down would make hijacking pointless. RS> I heard that air traffic controllers were in contact with RS> at least one plane that said they were trying to return to RS> land and that the controllers believed them. By the time we RS> found out otherwise, it was too late. I've never been an air taffic controller but I'd wager one with experience can tell by the flight path if an airliner is trying to return or has another destination in mind? I don't think there were many landing opportunities along the flight paths of any of the airliners that were hijacked. A fighter 'escort' just in case would certainly have altered the outcome in every instance. > > , , > o/ Charles_Angelich - DOS Ghost \o , > __o/ > / > www.undercoverdesign.com/dosghost/faf/ < \ __\__ ___ * ATP/16bit 2.31 * ...
