Aircraft were making U-turns in the sky for nearly two hours on 9/11 while WE were trying to engage. 20 minutes would have saved the day.

I think that you wee talking to a SPAMMER... When you see those posts give them a negative or thumbs down vote. At -10 the spam is not shown. Posting a reply to them only leaves a message with people wondering what you are talking about like this one, or either it moves the reply to someone else wonder why you said that to someone else.
