Re: "We may have to shoot down this airplane"

Read it to the end when the fighter pilots were told they would have to ram the airliner because they were not carrying weapons. They both willingly took off with every expectation of doing just that.

"We may have to shoot down this airplane"

This is an article that popped up on my FB page. It really brings home what transpired on 9-11. I was flying that day as an MD-88 Captain with Delta. I was enroute to DFW and ATC never told us what was happening. We knew something was going on by the radio transmissions from ATC but we thought there might have been an accident at DFW. We were not getting our usual instructions. This article is about the command structure in Washington DC and the military. Very informative.
