You pro-Bouches are looking at this like they knew how many aircraft there were before it even started. Dan made the perfect point: what if there were 20 planes? One must look at the situation from the other side of the attack.

When the first report came in that an airliner hit one of the towers a "flag" should have gone off that demanded more answers. We're talking an airliner and one of the twin towers. That's not just a plane going into a building.

A smart commander would have immediately started asking questions. He should have left the room and demanded more information.

By the way, Dan:

I think you give Bouche too much credit.
