well, your just wrong. several jets were sent to intercept the hijacked planes, however, none arrived in time, furthermore, even if they had, there was nothing they could do. Orders do need to be given to intercept. ATC has to dial NORAD and tell them there is a problem. after flight 11 was suspected of being hijacked at 8:37 am, 2 F-15's were set to battle stations, however, the transponders on the hijacked planes were disabled. making it difficult to distinguish which plane they were looking for between the other 4500 planes in the skies that morning. In 2000, all the planes that were intercepted had there transponders on, making it easy to find them. the hijacked planes were not easy to find, therefor they were not intercepted.
please do some research before posting.
