By your clock, an hour and twenty minutes elapsed between evidence that a plane had been hijacked, and the time the last plane struck the Pentagon. About thirty to forty minutes elapsed between the first hit and the last.

During that period, at most about 45 minutes, the U.S. is going to make the unprecedented decision to shoot down civilian airliners?

You are insane.

Shouldn't there have been a plan for that contingency already in place? And what evidence do you have that there isn't such a plan in place? And maybe it was even put into action. One would hope that our national defense forces would have considered this possibility, since even the Columbine killers had thought of the same plan, hijack a plane and crash it into NYC.
