...if I remember correctly, NORAD as well as the DOD had trouble discerning if the 9/11 attacks were simulated or real, that certainly bought the hijackers valuable time..
So if anyone is prepared to prevent a crime, they must be guilty of committing that crime.

You remember incorrectly.
well, as long as YOU say so...
meanwhile in the real world..
08:37:52In the background, however, you can make out the sound of Jeremy Powell, then 31, a burly, amiable technical sergeant, fielding the phone call that will be the military's first notification that something is wrong. On the line is Boston Center, the civilian air-traffic-control facility that handles that region's high-flying airliners.
Vanity Fair - The 9/11 Norad tapesBOSTON CENTER: Hi. Boston Center T.M.U. [Traffic Management Unit], we have a problem here. We have a hijacked aircraft headed towards New York, and we need you guys to, we need someone to scramble some F-16s or something up there, help us out.
POWELL: Is this real-world or exercise?
BOSTON CENTER: No, this is not an exercise, not a test.
08:37:56
watson: What?
Dooley: Whoa!
Watson: What was that?
Rountree: is that real-world?
dooley: Real-world hijack.
Watson: Cool!
Exactly -- see how quick that was?When would anyone not ask that question for verification?POWELL: Is this real-world or exercise?
BOSTON CENTER: No, this is not an exercise, not a test.
dan has shown that ten seconds were spent verifying whether 9/11 was a drill.
Bravo!
"When they told me there was a hijack, my first reaction was 'Somebody started the exercise early,'" Nasypany later told me. The day's exercise was designed to run a range of scenarios, including a "traditional" simulated hijack in which politically motivated perpetrators commandeer an aircraft, land on a Cuba-like island, and seek asylum. "I actually said out loud, 'The hijack's not supposed to be for another hour,'" Nasypany recalled. (The fact that there was an exercise planned for the same day as the attack factors into several conspiracy theories, though the 9/11 commission dismisses this as coincidence. After plodding through dozens of hours of recordings, so do I.)
08:57:11
20 minutes...and NORAD is now finally sending planes into the sky right? right?NASYPANY: Think we put the exercise on the hold. What do you think? [Laughter.]
wrong...
09:04:50
—Is this explosion part of that that we're lookin' at now on TV?
—Yes.
—Jesus …
—And there's a possible second hijack also—a United Airlines …
—Two planes?…
—Get the out …
—I think this is a damn input, to be honest.
PLAY | PAUSE | STOP
The last line—"I think this is a damn input"—is a reference to the exercise, meaning a simulations input. It's either gallows humor or wishful thinking. From the tape, it's hard to tell.
While the second plane strikes Tower 2....
...but CD says there way no ambiguity!Meanwhile, flying southwest over the ocean, the two fighters from Otis Air National Guard Base are streaking toward Manhattan. The pilots are startled, to say the least, when they see billowing smoke appear on the horizon; no one's briefed them about what's going on. They were scrambled simply to intercept and escort American 11—a possible hijacking—and that is all they know.
"From 100 miles away at least, we could see the fire and the smoke blowing," Major Dan Nash, one of the F-15 pilots, told me. "Obviously, anybody watching CNN had a better idea of what was going on. We were not told anything. It was to the point where we were flying supersonic towards New York and the controller came on and said, 'A second airplane has hit the World Trade Center.' … My first thought was 'What happened to American 11?'"
dam chump all over your face
again.
You ers amuse me. Despite the evidence of state incompetence which abounds, somehow it is capable of pulling off a highly sophisticated plot which would require thousands of individuals to keep quiet about it. Here's a tip. Take a bath, shave, and find a way to leave mom's house.
Did it delay or stop any response to the 9/11 attacks more than a few seconds?While the second plane strikes Tower 2....
...but CD says there way no ambiguity!
Yes or no.
If yes, please provide the do entation of the time lost.
NORAD wouldn't send planes into the sky there. You've gotten them confused with NEADS.
But we never expect you to get anything right.
Galileo, you are pitiful. I heard about this seven years ago, been rehashed over and over between now and then, but the idea behind the exercise always changes by you tweekers. Yes, tweekers, rather than twoofers. You guys have to be high on some pretty nasty stuff to keep believing as you do.
Please stop reinventing old news. I my put you on IGNORE like I do the perverted asses here.
Look, if everyone did their own small part people could have done it and not realized the enormity of what they were participating in...not saying it happened that way, just that it could have...
Whatever it was, conspiracy or not, it successfully compromised air safety over the continental U.S.....20, 30, 40 minutes....nukes could have been flying...
Nukes?
What the are you talking about?
Oh sure....I'm not allowed to embellish....
So you'll be fitting the ten second drill distraction into your comprehensive theory of what really happened on 9/11, right?
I'm still trying to figure out who the perverted ass are...
That's how the Cube was built, right?
