"Nothing was breathing down their necks at the time."
Oh! Your question just gave me a chill down my back. Made me remember in the news just after 9/11 that someone somewhere made BIG money betting on a plane crash for 9/11.....
Somewhere there is a paper trail that exposes who shorted airlines in a huge way just before 9/11. At the time Freepers were up in arms about why nobody seemed interested in tracking them down and, evidentally, nobody ever has.
