Really? Because it's so fucking difficult to fly a plane? Then how is it that I, without any flight school at all, have flown an airplane? Granted, there was a real pilot with me, but it really isn't that difficult at all.

No one knew what was happening that day. It was mass confusion all around. It's like calling your local highway patrol office and saying "there is a mini van that might be on the freeway that is acting odd". Imagine you are an air traffic controller and your tracking a plane that is not communicating to you and is heading in the wrong direction.... Have your boss call NORAD? That's exactly what they did... And told them what? That they wanted them to shoot down a passenger airliner?
Are you fucking nuts?
Prior to 9/11 we never so much as given thought to shooting down a passenger airliner over and the US, and I find it difficult to imagine circumstance where we would do that today.
