Nah, you dont do military over one of the most densely populated (and justifiably paranoid) areas in the world with what is basically a civilian aircraft.
*****************
And the 2 F-16 fighters, are what? -:)
But, I think you touch on what I thought might be of military concern; i.e. if there’s another 9/11 attempt, how does the military counteract projectile commercial planes in a densely populated region? The gov’t is on record that it will shoot down a civilian plane commandered (sp) by terrorists. How would one do it over NYC?
As for my primary point, you have my view- I have yours; ultimately, the truth will come out. -:)
IF that isn't satisfactory, then we need to haul the flight attendants and crew before a Senate hearing to get to the truth of this.
I can dream...sw
Didn't the CONgress with pubbie votes eliminate that yesterday (sarc)
Jeez. Now the big 0 is even treating New Yawk as flyover country!
The people we need to request this info are our elected reps in the House and Senate. That is the problem we face, all we have left in Washington are RINO’s without spines.
My vote is George Soros.
“Hey Barackie-baby! Call your plane to take me and my Comrades for a little ride around NYC, first class of course! Oh... and after you call for the plane, shine my shoes!”
