That's funny...they didn't seem to have a problem finding Payne Stewart's plane when it went off course a year or so before.
Why was this time different?
Plaid golfer pants show up better on radar.
Payne Stewart's plane flew on autopilot for hours after the depressurization. Contact was lost over Gainesville FL, and the plane crashed in South Dakota.
Payne's plane never went off course; it was in the air for over 45 minutes before they lost contact with the pilot. 30 minutes later they scrambled jets to take a look.
Facts would help.
Stewart's plane was in the air for hours and was not actively attempting to avoid detection. Ground air controllers had plenty of time to help track it down. The hijacked jet airliners were minutes out from their targets at the time the air response team first learned the nation was under attack, and the hijacked planes were hidden in a sea of planes in the air at the time with no indication which one of them might be hostile for many long minutes. You could not possibly have picked a worse example than the Stewart scenario to bolster your position.
You are defending a position taken by the most odious and despicable public person on the scene today, and doing it with a straight face. That shows me that you either can't think or you're a troll. Either way, you're not worth wasting time on.
One more point. The 911 commission, looking to inflict as much damage on the president as possible since it's been in session, has ignored this issue. Could it that they knew they'd be ridiculed mercilessly if they displayed the kind of ignorance you and Moore display about our air response capabilities given the timeline in question? Something for you to think about, bozo.
