By the time you have a fighter in the air, and ready to act isn't long.... but it's the difference between a 15 minute approach to JFK runway to a "building". No one ever would have dreamed....
And another problem is.. they were scrambled from the wrong air patch.. Strange one there..

That's like asking the Levee builders of 1927 to imagine a category 5 hurricane 80 years later.
The gov't was asked that very thing more recently that 1927 and they apparently didn't answer.. which brings on other questions today..

But let's not forget, 9-11 is the Pearl Harbor of our generation.... and some have forgotten.
Which is the very reason questions need be asked.. They're still being asked about Pearl and still not being answered...
