‘Inside the Inexplicable Air Traffic Control Response on 9/11’–part 1 of a major new article about the 9/11 attacks

Submission statement: This article is a careful examination of the response of air traffic controllers and other FAA personnel to the apparent hijacking of Flight 11 on September 11, 2001. It covers numerous anomalies in the response to the apparent hijacking, such as air traffic control personnel violating protocol and taking longer than they should have to alert others to the crisis.

It points out that “the sheer number of inappropriate actions that were taken indicates there may have been a deliberate effort to undermine normal procedures and impair the response to the crisis.” It suggests that “a number of corrupt U.S. officials must have been involved in organizing and perpetrating the 9/11 attacks, and some FAA employees must have played a role.”

This is the first installment of a major four-part article. Parts 2 to 4 will be posted online shortly.
