Sure, planning, hijacking and crashing a 767 is as easy as moving a joystick on Flight Simulator. Even Johnny wouldn't say 'some people try and say aliens don't exist and yet kids have been playing Space Invaders for 30 years'.

No one knew what was happening that day. It was mass confusion all around.

More confusing than WWIII? If NORAD falls apart the second it has to do its job, then what's the point of it? The Russians - hell, Canadians - could have just steamrollered over us at any time?

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?

You must be if you think a multiple plane hijacking is any way like a mini van "acting odd". And I think after one plane had smashed into the tallest building in the world it might have been a clue that something big was occurring.

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.

So what happened in all the NORAD drills in the years prior to 2001 that involved planes being flown into buildings, including the WTC? They ended up just letting it happen?

Lemme ask you something. You're an evil terrorist living in the Middle East and you want to fly planes into buildings in the US, but you can't fly. What do you do? Learn to fly in the country you're in, out of sight of the Uncle Sam? Or do you go to the US and spend months trying to learn to fly right under the nose of the FBI?
