Please explain this.
Firstly, for some unexplainable reason I don't trust the flight qualifications of "the fast-promoted former National Air Guards airmen" whoever those poor chaps can be.
And secondly, just take an inch closer look at the whole USAF "interception of Flight 93 operation" as it was presented by the media.
I can still vividly remember how much perplexed I was with all those newscasts about THE TOTAL INABILITY OF THE USAF INTERCEPTORS TOGETHER WITH THE NORAD TO EVEN FIND THE LOST \HIJACKED FLIGHT 93. Then, after they had finally located it, NOBODY SEEMED TO BE ABLE TO SHOOT IT DOWN THOUGH IT PRESENTED BY ITSELF A HUGE AIRBORNE TARGET MOVING IN THE DIRECTION OF DENSELY POPULATED AREAS AND, POSSIBLY, TOWARDS A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT. AND IT WAS ALREADY KNOWN THAT THE FLIGHT 93 HAD BEEN HIJACKED TO CARRY OUT THE NEXT SUICIDE ATTACK.
I still can't believe these media reports. Sorry for that. Maybe my 2-year experience with the Soviet AA regiment gives me the wrong angle of view on this whole fable of UNDETECTABLE AND UNDESTRUCTIBLE FLIGHT 93.
