Message #104372 from Mark Fleming at Sep 11, 2001 9:41 PM >>18 minutes is not a lot of time to hear, react and scramble.>> If they can't get a few fighter pilots guarding the World Financial Center (literally and figuratively) within 5 minutes of an emergency, the military is not doing its job. And they should have cleared and guarded the airspace over Whitehouse and Pentagon right away after the first incident. >>How did they allow an aircraft to veer towards the Pentagon almost after one hour the first hit? It looks like the other side has better military and intelligence than the mighty US. If I'm not mistaken, the Pentagon is in or very, very near the flight path of the airport. If so, there could only be 30 seconds or so from veering to impact>>
