16. why did the Otis fighters not fly on to intercept AAL77 ?

... if they ever scramled. What they did not at 8:46/8:52.

This NORAD timeline is full of lies. See:
http://www.medienanalyse-international.de/hunt.html

>>>The distance of those fighters which had been scrambled out of Otis, at that particular point they were still 71 miles away, about eight minutes out, and going very fast.<<<<

Simple counting shows: 153 miles minus 71 miles = 82 miles in 10 minutes (between take-off at 8:52 and 9:02)
Ten minutes multiplied by 6 makes one hour, 82x6 = 492 miles/hour.

In comparison with 1.875 miles/hour maximum speed it is not "going very fast". It is not the speed of "scalded apes" with "full afterburner". It is the speed of a simple civil plane, i.e. a Boeing 757. It is contradictory to the words of the Otis commander who said 10-12 minutes to Manhattan.

It is simply a lie. There is no proof that they scrambled at 8:52. There is proof of fighters scambling after 10:00 at Otis.

AND THEY DO NOT SPEAK ABOUT ANDREWS AFB -10 miles away.

>>>At 9:05, FAA reports a possible hijack of United 175. Again, that's three minutes after the impact in the tower. That's how long it is taking now the information to flow ...<<<

That is another lie. 8:38 last contact, 8:41 "possible hijacling" , and 8:43 notification of NORAD.

TV stations changed programms much earlier (8:52), radiostations even earlier than that. There is nearly no time correct in the story. Blunt lies. And no sense. Even with the low speed the two F-15 could have reached the Pentagon flight, date of impact 40 minutes later. Time enough to go from NYC to Washington, low speed.
