Prior to 9/11 planes highjacked were flown to different locations and used for hostages not flown into buildings so ordering the fighters to take them out was not an acceptable option at the time. Even after the first plane hit the building and order to have our jets shoot down passenger planes would be a very difficult decision for anyone to make so I understand why the order was not given. We have had many highjackings of airliners in the past prior to 9/11 so you people need to stop tempering your memory with what has happened on 9/11 to the memory prior to it. Would anyone here, besides me of course, be able to order a liner shot down not knowing for sure if it will be flown into a building? I don't include myself in the question because I would have no problem ordering it, after all I wear my compassion on my sleeve as madmex is so happy to point out.
