at some point in that mess, the AF chain of command took over. Given the timing relative to the other events, it's plausible. I don't buy it, but I do believe it possible. Those planes were scrambled in a hurry after the second plane hit.
no i agree. it's possible certainly. i just think there are too many factors to have done this without having a lot of eye witnesses. too many to keep them all quiet. think about how big of an area you'd have to clear to do this properly.
