Which I understand to mean that the Fighters and Bombers were never separated vertically....
The NTSB statement
seems to differ from what is said in the video of the briefing, per what I posted in #213 above.
However despite what appeared to be clear instructions around altitude separation I thought the video wasn't complete, so it's possible there were later instructions, or this video isn't relevant. More likely I just don't properly understand - hence my earlier question, in order to learn.
FP.
