There is no reason to make waiting a ready aircraft during 41 minutes without any explanation. And the official argument of “heavy traffic” was for take offs only. In the movie “UA93”, they dare to show several planes on the strip and they tell "you are number 15" at around 8:10. You can look, 15 is the total number of planes between 8:10 and 8:40. That means they put that READY plane after all flights which are after it.
Not only are you using a Hollywood movie dramatization as evidence, but the last sentance does not necessarily follow what preceded it. First of all, is that list of takeoff numbers based on when the flight was scheduled to take off or when it actually took off? If the latter, which seems more likely to me, then you are complaining that a flight that was 15th in line was the 15th to take off. What's the problem? If the former, the fact that there were 15 flights between those times doesn't mean that those particular 15 (wouldn't that have made them 16th in line?) were the flights that went before.
Also, you are trying to use a Hollywood movie dramatization as evidence of the real event. I realize I mentioned that earlier in this post, but it is such a major flaw, I thought it deserved mentioning twice.
