NORAD
From 911myths

[edit] Controversies
- Payne Stewart's jet was intercepted very rapidly in 1999, a sharp contrast with the 9/11 performance?
- There's evidence that fighters normally intercept planes in 10 to 20 minutes?
- Dick Cheney was in charge of NORAD on 9/11?
- The many war games and exercises scheduled for 9/11 paralysed the air defence system, fatally delaying any military response to the hijackings?
- NORAD knew that Flight 77 was approaching Washington long before the 9/11 Commission Report claimed?
- There were fighters at Andrews AFB on 9/11, but NORAD chose not to use them?
- General Myers initial story was that no fighters were launched until after the Pentagon was hit?
[edit] Documents
[edit] NORAD TAPES
We agree with very little that the Loose Change creators have to say, but they do at least deserve praise for both securing the release of the full NORAD 9/11 tapes, and making them public immediately. These files reveal the actions and reactions of NORAD staff to the events of 9/11, as they happened. The audio is available elsewhere in torrent form, or you can download the individual files here (each ZIP archive contains a single WAV format audio file).
In April 2008 Government Attic received an FOIA release containing three further MP3 recordings: DRM1_DAT2_Channel_9_TT_Op.zip, DRM1_DAT2_Channel_11_ACWO_OP.zip and DRM1_DAT2_Channel_13_TT_Op.zip. We've added them here for completeness, but you really should go and see what else they have to offer.
