Anyone ever predict a transponder being turned off?
Anyone ever predict a plane going off course?
Anyone ever predict a plane being hijacked?
Anyone ever predict a plane crashing?
Anyone ever predict a plane crashing into a building?
We know they have predicted these scenarios, and have created procedures in which to deal with them.
Why were none of them followed on 9/11?
People generally try to find examples of planes being flown into the WTC, or the Pentagon.
So on 9/11... the people in charge of protecting America's skies knew in advance that these planes were going to be flown into buildings, and because no one could POSSIBLY have predicted such a scenario, they had absolutely no idea what to do?
I think not. They knew what to do. Something else prevented them from doing it.
