Within minutes we knew that crash was more likely an accident than
not... There was live news coverage within those minutes which showed 4
windows ablaze on a minor building in Manhattan... The spokesman for
NORAD admitted he got his only information from CNN and made his/their
decision to scramble based upon those news reports...


If I'd have been in his shoes I would have launched the alert fighters. It
hurts nothing to scramble the fighters and if they are needed they'll be
there. If nothing else it is good practice for the crews.

Imagine the political fallout if they didn't take action.
