> The 911 Commission Report is Full of Holes

Okay, let’s take your point about the "we have some planes" line, that should have been heard by an air traffic controller. If you have ever been in a airport control center, it is chaos. Thank goodness no one that flies, visits one. Half of the communications are not understood & 10% have to be repeated. Every plane is cutting in & out, especially at rush hour, getting their instructions. Different controllers handle different planes, etc. I am sure that if the communications had happened at midnight, someone may have picked such a little thing out of all the calls. Its too much to ask. What bothers me is for how many years did we sit & look at those flimsy cockpit doors (even during all the hijacking to Cuba years) and the doors stayed flimsy. Everyone is in some way responsible.
The commission has nothing to investigate on this point.
