Your note makes no sense.

>>>The jets that were scrambled arrived over Washington City at around 10 AM. When was the Pentagon hit? Was this before or after?<<<

The Pentagon was hit about 25 minutes earlier. I thought that was a pretty good response.

>>>They were prepared to take out another plane that was threatening Washington City. Another plane? Was a 5th plane known to be coming or was this just a precaution "in case"?<<<

To our knowledge, there were only 4 planes. The jets that flew over our city were protecting us from the plane that was crashed in Pennsylvania. However, I don't think anyone really understood how many planes there were at that moment.

>>>However, some of our fellow citizens did that for them.
Flew the USAF jets over DC? Or took out the Pentagon?<<<

No, they overpowered the terrorists and crashed the plane. Remember, they are heroes.
