    I was stuck on a bus that morning, on my way to the Lincoln Tunnel, when they stopped all traffic from entering NYC. A whole day and night and more we sat on that highway until they got us turned around (they had men digging and clearing the meridian for us) when all of a sudden 100's of neighbors who lived by the highway ALL CAME OUT AND BROUGHT EVERYONE WATER, SANDWICHES, NEWS..They were our heroes too! I'll never forget those kind, beautiful ppl either! Thank you to all! 🇺🇸

      Fool, it's dangerous to have aircraft armed with BOMBS sitting around. If they're attacked or an aircraft is on fire those missiles will be cooked off.

Someone would have seen them coming. In the tapes, you can hear them getting ready to crash. And did you ever see a plane like that crash that had sped up to intentionally crash? The crash site looked completely in keeping with that scenario. They were going at a ridiculous speed, so it wouldn't be surprising for an engine to come apart. There was a crater where they had hit, and of course things going at that speed and angle are going to create a massive debris field, sending out projectiles everywhere.

So many pilots have the same chill manner to them as the maintainers and when Lucky mentioned the 'jokes' that were made-totally got what she meant. Just how life in the military is, but to hear how serious those two became when it wasn't a test and was a real life event... Damn.

The USAF has ARMED planes 24-7 over the US airspace - furthermore no high level decision maker would sacrifice two pilots and their expensive planes when one phone call to the MDA would be made to use a surface to air missile to bring down the plane - Penney is peddling this story and getting paid to do so, yet curiously, our Media doesn't display one ounce of interest in investigating her tale - not one bit. This is nothing more than a concocted feel-good girl power (Saving Private Ryan) story playing on the patriotism of the American people. I'm sure a movie-deal is in the making😁😁😂😂

Like "Lucky" said during the interview, the military doesn't train us to go on suicide missions. But these two had balls of steel, and I'm even honest enough to admit that I'm not so sure if I would've had the resolve to ram my jet into another. Would I have done it? I'd like to say I would have, but I def. would've thought about it twice before committing. I can't say thank you enough to them for their bravery and courage on being able and ready to pay the ultimate price to keep others safe.

      incorrect time to point out, that was their job or should have been. An hour later with no armaments. Sounds like trillions spent* Sadly enough, I can't display an American Flag as a patriot, because it is now used as a symbol by non-questioning, one way political leaning, under-educated (purposefully) emoji humans. I can only fly the flag or wear my shirt on the 4th of July. I wish that wasn't the case. 20 years ago, this wasn't the case. Sad

      How much were you paid to make this comment? Utter nonsense of a story that has yet to be verified - Why would decision-makers sacrifce two pilots and two expensive jet fighters when a simple missile strike would have done the job? Let's interview the "Crew chiefs" that ensured the planes were ready; let's interview the then Commander, Air Combat Command who's role it would have been to defend the nation's skies in a time of crisis. While were at it, let's interview the former Director, Ballistic Missile Defense Office now known as the Missile Defense Agency, to see what he has to say regarding this alleged suicide mission of the World's strongest military as if what these two are claiming, we have BIG ISSUES in our nation's defense and I'm quite sure a former 4-star general and SES equivalent would highly disagree.

West Germany in particular, where my family lives, owes a lot to the US.

    These are two brave and honorable public servants. I think the lady pilot's summary at the end was heartfelt and summed things up really well for anyone who loves this country. Even though there is the sense that our government failed us that day, many (like these two) were doing their best to handle their jobs as well as possible, despite very unusual circumstances.
    One thing that often gets overlooked is just how unexpected and rare this situation was. At least in modern times, I'm not aware of any previous scenario where the hijackers of airplanes full of people were all kamikaze, with no intention of trying to negotiate or make demands. When terrorists are freely willing to commit suicide without provocation, it changes the whole dynamic. I'm not saying it's an excuse for being unprepared, but having had so many years of relative peace, I don't think anyone was truly ready for this.
