Approximately 100 times per year, fighter jets routinely scramble to investigate situations in US airspace. Yet, nearly 2 hours passed on September 11, 2001 without a single interception. Why?
America's military might is unparalleled. As the world's only remaining "super-power" on Earth, we always gain "air-superiority" in a fight.
- Air supremacy is the highest level, where one side holds complete control of the skies.
- Air superiority is the second level, where one side controls partial dominance of the skies.
Where were the interceptors on 9/11?
Something went terribly wrong on 9/11/2001. On that day, we did not gain air-superiority. Our jet fighters were ordered to stand down. Why weren't they ordered to protect New York city? Our largest city should be heavily guarded right? Well yeah... but not on 9/11.
F16: Top Speed Mach 2 (1,500mph) -- Qty: 957
F15: Top Speed Mach 2.5 (1,650mph) -- Qty: 449
On that fateful day, F-15s were scrambled from Otis Air Force Base and sent to military-controlled airspace off Long Island, NY and ordered to remain in a holding pattern.
- Why were our fighter jets ordered to stay in a holding pattern off the coast of Long Island, NY?
- Why was no one in the military fired for this catastrophic mistake? Isn't this a dereliction of duty?
The skies over New York should have looked like a scene from the movie Independence day with squadrons of fighters buzzing around. Unfortunately, the skies over New York city were empty for 2 horrific hours. Why? This should have been the one moment in history where America scrambled every fighter they had. "RED ALERT... Scramble all fighters... this is not a drill... Repeat... Launch all fighters... Launch all fighters!!"
In the nearly 40 minutes between the second WTC tower being struck and the Pentagon being hit, not one USAF fighter plane circled Washington DC. NOT ONE. Andrews Air Force base is about 10-12 air miles from the US capitol by air, less than 90 seconds by fighter jet.
Special Note: They did manage to shut the heavy nuclear blast doors at NORAD for the first time ever. Way to go guys! Good job. You get a Gold star.

Wicked games. I feel sad for people who still (after 15 years) believe that 19 guys from a cave did 9/11. There's a mountain of evidence that it was an inside job.

Have you never done the research on this subject...? The US Air Force fighter planes were ordered to remain in a holding pattern and were not dispatched because...coincidentally, there was a major military exercise taking place at the same time...involving commercial aircraft being hijacked over American airspace. So, as the story goes, the military was simply following the "rules of engagement" for the military exercise, essentially indicating that this was the root cause of confusion that resulted in the delayed response of armed aircraft.

"Operation Vigilant Guardian" was used as a red herring to cause confusion during the attacks. Did you know Vigilant Guardian involved simulated hijacked planes in the North Eastern sector of the United States? What a coincidence right? C'mon man... really? Wake up. Stop watching football and do some research!

Did you even read my comment. I pretty much said the same thing.

Inside job. Dustification, building 7, justify war, fear-monger, impose martial law. (I can say all those things here, right?)

Sure... why not. Hey... Did you know the fires burned for 100 days after the attacks on the World Trade Center? Jet fuel does not burn for 100 days! But, if you use nano-thermite... Hell, you can melt steel (2500°F) and make it burn for months. Fire fighters reported seeing pools of molten steel in the basement. You can't get that with plain old jet fuel.

The failure of NORAD to intercept the hijacked planes on 9/11 continues to be one of the biggest proofs to me that it was an inside job. Up until 9/11, they had a 100% success rate. On 9/11, they failed miserably. Something doesn't add up.

September 11 was an inside job: Terrorism, committed by two of our "allies," Israel and Saudi Arabia. They were assisted (and covered up) by our own presidents at the time -- Cheney and Bush. I prefer to think of these two as 'Murican, hell-bent neocons, not Americans like the rest of us.
Please check out my posts -- I am an educated, American veteran who has watched our country fall apart since JFK's assassination. We all have to (re)learn the history, no matter how bad it is.
