NORAD is in the middle of a number of military exercises.

The first, "Vigilant Guardian", is described as

"an exercise that would pose an imaginary crisis to North

American Air Defense outposts nationwide".

The second, "Northern Vigilance", moved fighter jets to Canada

and Alaska to fight off an imaginary Russian fleet.

Three F-16s from Washington DC's National Guard at

Andrews Air Force Base,

away for a training mission in North Carolina.

This left 14 fighter jets to protect the entire

United States.

" Hi, Boston Center TMU, we have a problem here "

" we have a hijacked aircraft headed towards New York "

" and we need you guys to, we need someone to scramble

some F-16s or something up there, help us out. "

" Is this real or exercise? "

" No, this is not exercise, not a test. "

" Do we wanna think about scrambling an aircraft? "

" Oooh, God I don't know. "

" That's a decision somebody's gonna

have to make probably in the next 10 minutes. "

" Uh, yeah, you know, everybody just

left the room. "

" The first question I have is basically to

get from you a sense of "

" how you would rate the american media

in their coverage of the events of the attack last September? "

[Hunter S Thomson] " Well let's see eehmmm,

shamefully is a word that comes to mind "

" This just in you are looking at obviously

very disturbing liveshot there "

" that is the World Trade Center and we have

unconfirmed reports this morning "

" that a plane had crashed into

one of the towers of the World Trade Center. "

"But overall, the American journalism

was cowed, "

" and intimidated by the

this massive flag-sucking, this patriotic, orgy... "

" you know if you're criticizing the president it's unpatriotic and

there's something wrong with you and you may be a terrorist..."

" So, so in that sense,Hunter S Thomson, there's not enough

room for dissenting voices? "

" Well, there's plenty of room,

just not enough people willing to take the risk. "

" I don't know whether we've confirmed

that this was an aircraft or to be more specific "

" some people said they thought they saw a missile. "

" There was definitely a blue logo, [it was l-] circular logo

on the front of the plane "

" it definitely did not look like a commercial

plane, I didn't see any windows on the sides. "

" Mark, if that what you say is true

those could be cargo planes. "

" You said, you didn't see any windows in the sides? "

" I didn't see any windows on sides. It was not a normal

flight that I had ever seen, "

" at an airport, it was a plane that had a blue logo on the front "

" and, and it just ... it did not look like it belonged in this area. "

" It's sort of a herd mentality
