Here's your holes. Forget about all the other bullshit.
To me, it's the same as the JFK assassination. We speculate too much and general BS and not enough about specifics: put a dude in a tower with a Manlicher Carcano single action rifle and see if he can pull 3/3 hits on a moving target.
Answer is...he can't.
Same as this 911 BS. Forget about all the crazy stories and focus on the main fact: a small commuter plane doesn't answer the transponder and in 10 minutes F-16's are all over its ass; 2 years later 4 commerical airliners do the same and NOTHING is done.
Cause "mistakes" were made.
Uh huh.

I repeat because the military did not track domestic flights (they may or may not track them now)...because of confusion among the civilians tracking the flights as to what was actually occuring...the military was not notified in a timely manner. Yes something was done once the military was notified...they scrambled jets...but it was to late for them to do anything.
As for getting off three shots and hits it has been duplicated multiple times and true it was a moving target but it was in a straight line which reduces the skill level required.
