Reply #136: Then Please tell me [View All]

why USAF plane were not scrambled the SECOND a HUGE airliner deviated from it's flight path over very Populated City?

I was in the USAF, I have been literally RUN OVER by scrambled pilots who were off the ground by the time I was able to peel myself from the floor and get to the window in the door that led to the air strip.

I'm not buying it my friend. Someone was told to stand down, and someone in the FAA KNOWS about it.

I hope you're not telling me that you wouldn't alert someone if an airliner suddenly decided to just head off into the unknown?

We had regulations in the USAF and I KNOW they have VERY stringent Regs for air traffic controllers and their supervisors.

Please explain how that happened?
