But thats my point,when the terrorist Atta flew into the WTC, it was reported he was at full throttle.What is that,about 400MPH.Thats about 8 miles a minute.Thats 40 miles in 5 minutes. If this was ever a threat would they ever realy have time to evacuate or scamble a fighter

It seems like it would be a better idea to hunker down inside the building in the most secure place than to run outside and stand around wit han incoming place threat.
Even if that really isnt a tornado hovering above.

They do constantly have SS agents on the roof with shoulder lauched Surface to Air Missiles but that would probably be too little too late. Navy ships have a system to destroy incoming missiles (Aegis ?) I 'spect the White House might have a similar system.
