Simultaneous Exercises
As Michael Ruppert and Webster Griffin Tarpley have documented, on the day of 9/11, multiple exercises were ongoing on September 11, 2001[1], perhaps more than on any day before or since, including Operation Northern Vigilance, Operation Vigilant Guardian, Operation NOrthern guardian' and Operation Vigilant Warrior. Some of which involved the simulated highjacking of airliners, some of which involved the flying of many fighter aircraft far away from their normal locations on the East Coast of US[2].
Change of Procedure
The procedure for interception of off-course airliners was changed (by whom?) in the run up to 9/11 to require personal authorisation (from Cheney?).
Minetta's Testimony
Norman Minetta's testimony to the 9/11 Commission is well worth a listen, especially as regards the total lack of air defence around the Pentagon.
