"We have some planes" is clearly audible on the first listen... lets say you’re an FAA air traffic controller on that fateful morning, would you review this audio clip for 30 minutes before alerting other pilots? No way!
With the knowledge that other planes had been hijacked, the FAA could have alterted all other pilots to secure the cockpit doors, they could have grounded all planes from takeoff- ie Flight 93 (Pennsylvania crash) was delayed and didn’t even take off until 8:42. With the knowledge of the Aug 6th memo, Air Force interceptor squadrons should have been on high alert, and then scrambled at 8:19, when Betty Ong called from the hijacked plane. If not then, at least when they heard the audio transmission from the hijacker, "we have some planes". Yet somehow, nothing was done, nothing.... but wasn’t it convenient to have this ’New Pearl Harbor’ to garner public support for US global conquest in the name of ’protecting us’.
