Asked a business jet to inspect the crash crater! That explanation, if true, is so awful. No security response. Planes hijacked, crashing into the nations most important buildings here there and everywhere. Minutes pass, hours pass, more planes hijacked, flying about with their transponders off. No a single airforce jet put up to do anything. No point in having an air force!

"Swissair Flight 111, which crashed off the coast of Nova Scotia in September 1998 ... " was also missing the last part 6 mins of the black box tape. Ah, that crash was another strange one - part of the series in the 1990s, like TWA800 and all the rest. I await a full explanation. I suspect that a covert war was being fought all through the 1990s, a full ten years before Sept 11.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but most of that is simply not true.

NBC at their 8 o'clock hour on Sept. 11th (Dateline?) interviewed a number of air traffic controllers involved in the days' events. One of them DID state that they asked a nearby pilot if he would mind checking out the scene.

(& timesink, there's a couple of other typos besides the "they" previously mentioned, if you can do anything about getting them fixed, one of which was "transcipt," but maybe they're both the sort that will be fixed by spellchecking)

Not unusual for ATC to request reports from nearby aircraft. We were flying overhead when Valujet crashed near Miami, and were asked to inspect/report. I'm sure there were jets in the area that could have provided eyes and ears on Flt 93, too. We'll probably never know the real story about any military action.
