ARTCC, I say the controller was very slow to call in the supv. THAT

It's very easy to second guess now that you *know* airliners can be used
as weapons. On September 11th 2001, people didn't know that the way you
do now.

It's sort of like all those people who went out to explore the newly
exposed sea floor just before the tsunami hit in the Pacific. Sure, I
remember reading that a suddenly vastly lowered sea level is a precursor
of a tsunami in James Mitchener's Hawaii about 25 years ago, but would I
have remember that little factoid if I'd been on the beach in Thailand on
that day? Maybe, maybe not.
