“The president told us his instinct was to project calm, not to have the country see an excited reaction at a moment of crisis. The press was standing behind the children; he saw their phones and pagers start to ring. The President felt he should project strength and calm until he could better understand what was happening”

Unless he knew that another plane would crash into the second tower 7 minutes later and that nothing he could do would've prevented it (which poses even greater issues), he should've acted immediately. How did he propose to "better understand what was happening" by reading children's stories? Absolutely preposterous.
