• The Part of the Pentagon that Was Hit, Was the Least Populated of the Sections, Because It Was Under Repair.

   

("On Sept. 11, Pentagon construction crews were doing final, touch-up work on the first wedge after more than three years of renovation. Some Defense employees already were moving into new office spaces. "We were down to checking the marble [floor] tile for cracks," says David Kersey, project manager for British construction firm AMEC Inc., which held a $280 million contract for the Wedge 1 renovation. Fewer than 100 AMEC workers and subcontractors were onsite, while a new construction team, led by Hensel-Phelps Construction Co. of Greeley, Colo., was setting up shop to begin the next round of renovations."

• Washington, DC is the Most Heavily Guarded Airspace in the World.

   

Why Was there Only a Handful of Planes Left to Protect Our Nation's Capitol on September  11, 2001?

When I Was in the USAF, We Never Left Insufficient Air Cover for Our Base of Origin

and Those Planes Deployed Were Always Ready to Return or Proceed to the Area They Were Needed

at a Moments Notice.  We Were at Times, Many Times, Reassigned in the Middle of Exercises.

Why So Many Exercises on That Day?  Why Weren't the Remaining Fighters Sent to Intercept the Plane?

Why All of a Sudden Don't We think What We are Practicing for that Day and Many Times Before Can Happen?
