Richard,
thanks for your courteous reply. Because of it, you deserve a well-considered
answer, and you shall have it. Give me a little time, though, because I've got
duties today that must be attended to. I do respect the feelings for your
country that you have expressed.

According to what I've read, any jet fighters would
have had only a few minutes to fly into New York City
airspace, locate the hijacked airliners, whose
transponders had been turned off, and shoot them down.
But apparently ATC didn't even make a phone call until
8:37 am EST to inform NEADS that Flight 11 was hijacked.
The first plane hit the WTC at 9:03 am. The nearest
airbase is Otis Air Force Base in Falmouth, Mass., and
Langley Air National Guard Base in Hampton, Va. How long
does it take for a F-15 to fly from Mass. or Va. to New
York?
What do you think?

According to Popular Mechanics, there were fourteen
jet fighters aloft in the U.S. at the time of the attack.

You brought up the subject, Angela, and it seemed like
you were trying to suggest that the 9/11 attacks were
an inside job. I find that offensive that 3000 people
died at the hands of elements within our own government.
And I've seen no evidence to support such a claim.

You can't prove a negative: do you have any evidence
that the 9/11 attacks were an inside job? Your main
source said that NORAD could have scrambled jet fighters
to what, shoot down the hijacked airliners over New
York City?
