His name is Lt. General Ken Pennington and he is the deputy commander of NORAD,and held the same post on 9/11.
He was asked what plans were in place before 9/11 to deal with such a possibility.He replied that there were none,the events took NORAD by complete suprise,but they reacted very well under the circumstances ,by rerouting planes to Canada and grounding all planes on the ground in the U.S.A.
He was then asked if those action prevented more attacks.
He replied yes.There was at least one plane which didn't take off that is suspected to have been part of the plot.He says that a group of passangers on that plane evacuated the plane and disappeared . He says there were no arrests but they are regarded as "highly suspicious".
He then changed the subject,perhaps he already said too much.
