I should have been more clear, by response in pertaining to the hour I meant that the jets didn't reach the airliners between the first knowledge of a hijacking, and the final crash. Yes, fighters were launched, but the 4 minute or less rule was blatently broken.
In response to the link, according to the commission's new staff report, Vice President Cheney did not issue orders to shoot down hostile aircraft on Sept. 11, 2001, until long after the last hijacked airliner had already crashed, and that the order was never passed along to military fighter pilots searching for errant aircraft that morning. Both Cheny and Bush were aprised minute by minute after the initial impact with the North tower.
