But i just don't feel we're being told the whole story,
Well, Spark, when are we ever given the whole story?
We are not being given the whole story even now on Iran.
But there were huge lapses in oversight and preparedness in 9/11, from never questioning Arabs here to learn how to FLY a jet, but not interested in how to LAND the jet, and even after 9/11 began, first, Bush sat there reading to little kids, then no one could decide that this wasn't just an accident, to then not having any idea nor organization of how to respond, who does what.
Do you know that after they finally scrambled a couple of jets up in the air to deal with who knows what, they had no idea where to send the jets and they ended up flying far out over the ocean waiting for orders?
There are still huge gaps in our aircraft tracking and control system in even identifying jets sometimes much less recognizing when one is acting crazy and way off course.
Do you know some of our tracking radar software is so hard to read and our airports short-staff that already several times, two jets have flown headlong right into each other because no one realized these two jets on the same flight path were also both flying at the same altitude?
Thing is, you learn from your mistakes.
