I know, I listened to the recordings. Not sure why that makes the fact that they knew so early not interesting
???

Someone on board confirming its an hijacking - how smart do you have to be to know it's a hijacking?

Agreed. Even a meshugener would know that.

You're taking Ergel's post out of context.
the interesting part is not they managed to figure it out. Read what he wrote again (without your added emphasis.) The interesting part is that they actually knew the whole time, meanwhile everyone else was running around like chickens without a head and there was tons of misinformation all over the place.

So basically you're saying that it's interesting that you didn't know.

Am I nuts?

Isn't that how it always goes ? The people in the know- know everything & everyone else just guesses. The news people & the rest of us didn't speak to the FA's.

I found it to be an interesting tidbit of information that I didn't know (and I assume most people didn't know as well).
I had largely assumed that fighter jets were delayed from being scrambled, etc. because no one really knew the planes were hijacked at such an early stage.

Correct. I was unaware that the FA had gotten through to anybody

Yeah, I found it interesting that fighters were scrambled, they just couldn't find the plane on time.

Although the truth is the jets probably wouldn't have stopped the attack even if they found AA11, no one dreamed they would crash it into a building so they wouldn't have shot it down....

They had orders to do so (or at least got told they'll most probably get permission to shoot if the 'guy" doesn't cooperate.

That was way later, after 3 of the planes crashed already...

That seemed like it was a couple of hours later by the time they got those orders

Saw that one. Didn't like the ending. Not much is known about what went on there other than Todd Beamer talking to his wife.

You don't have $3 in Amazon video yet?

No, I don't.
Never thought it's worth the hassle for $1.

Any current offers available?
