911...and a question...

[Bfgrn]

I'm watching a replay of the events of September 11, 2001...

At the time, no one knew the size and scope of the attack...

Question:
Which government official(s) would have the authority to order a domestic aircraft carrying American citizens shot down by US fighter jets?

 

[veritas]

The President.

The President as Commander in Chief.

I always find the really interesting bit of 9/11 history to be who made the call to ground all the aircraft. I looked that up once and its actually a pretty interesting story.
