Birdbrain forget the rumours. Read the report from the NTSB. Only the United States could afford the cost of that investigation. (They of course searched for bomb evidence as well!) Was it around the Olympics?.
The "third" (Sorry, "fourth"?) 911 airliner. F-16's were racing towards it. The good news were the "Let's roll" action. Passengers last ditch effort to re-take the aircraft. Sadly they died - but noone on the ground were killed.
Airliners as practice targets: A Japanese F-86 did that some years ago. He hit the airliner - with his aircraft! Wasn't that stupid?
And now consider all boys dreamjob of fighterpilot:
"Switching to guns!"
Best regards
