Planes were reported by news sources to have scrambled from bases in New York, and Virginia to intercept the hijacked planes. However the news agencys deliberatly left out the fact that 2 F-16's were scrambled from Wright-Patterson AFB shortly before the crash. These 2 jets broke the sound barrier (not normal procedure in populated Ohio) during their flight east. Initial reports said witnesses saw an explosion before the plane came down. With the capability to fire on a target from several miles away it is not unusual that nobody saw any other planes near the doomed plane. With all the rallying for support going on, they will never admit what really happened on that plane. To say that people overtook their hijackers and crashed the plane short of its intended target gives people a warm and fuzzy feeling.
