1. No they weren’t.
2. Just who was it that EXPECTED them to fly no faster than “Max Subsonic”?
3. You do have something to substantiate this statement… correct?
4. This is just pure bunk.
Crunching numbers doesn’t involve cherry picking, taking things out of context, or just plain BS’ing.
As for point 1:
"MALE SPEAKER 1: Possible news that a 737 just
4 hit the world Trade Center. This is a real world. And
5 we're trying to confirm this. And we're trying to confirm
6 this. okay. CONTINUE taking the fighters down to the New
7 York City area, JFK area as best as you can" [Quote from channel 2 NORAD tapes transcript]
As for point 2:
It just so happens that Colonel Duffy, who was a pilot of that
first F-15, had been involved in some conversation because, as
telephone calls were made, he was aware that there was a
hijacking in the system. It's kind of interesting because HE
CONCLUDED that that indeed might have been that airplane
himself, and [HE]ELECTED to hit the afterburner and to SPEED UP
his way towards New York. [Quote-Gen Larry Arnold 5/23/03]
Which proves the pilots flew FASTER than they were expected to fly.
As for 3:
According to Duffy, "WHEN WE TOOK OFF I left it in full afterburner the whole time."[Filson, 2004, pp.57]
I trust they were "REDIRECTED" at some point AFTER they took off? Enough said.
As for 4:
I don't think your claiming they would have arrived BEFORE the second impact, nor that a fighter jet would have arrived so long after the second impact (from a mere 153 miles away) not to have that effect. So, is it human psychology you want to discuss?
Just to make it easier for people to compare the points 1 through 4 I'll include my original post you Quoted:
"The evidence that that was their plan is:
1. They were originally directed straight to NYC.
2.They were EXPECTED to fly no faster than Max Subsonic.
3.They were not redirected until after they demonstrated they were going to fly faster than expected "in the air BEFORE the radar kicked in" Etc.
4.Their arrive time in NYC (had they followed protocol & flown straight to NYC) would have had them arriving just as the initial shock of the second impact was wearing off and all those thousands of people looking up would then see a pair of F15s fly by and think,"oh,they just missed".
That's how the numbers crunch. I'm just taking the known facts and drawing the logical conclusions."[Quote FrankHT]
