Now I think you've crossed the line a step or two further than AMF. U.S. controllers did not "sleep" during 9/11, and in fact, all North American ATC was praised for the work we did that day in handling a situation not even remotely considered possible before that day.
Yes I did, sorry! But who is to blame then? Why wasn't they scrambled in time. I read many books/reports about 9/11 and funny enough I don't believe the whole truth coming from the officiel side (Bush admin.)

I don't see what that has to do with anything, as I recall, the aircraft were operating under VFR flight rules and no separation was being provided. All quite "normal" for the times.
You're right, nothing to do with the topic but just to fire back at AMF

I'll read the ICAO handbook when my employer sets it in front of me and says "Learn this".
US is a member of ICAO right? So why don't you follow the rules laid down by ICAO like everyone else around the globe? I still don't get it. Americans (pilot and controllers) RTF are sluppy and at times dangerous. What wrong with a standard RTF? And procedures?
