On September 11th, 2001, The United States was attacked by what president Bush stated was “A terrorist act”. This ultimately set the stage for conspiracy theorists to begin their thoughts on what they believed “really” happened. There are several theories regarding the September 11th attacks saying that these attacks were not brought on by Al- Qaeda. But, by factions within the United States, the main ones caused the most question. A few of them being that inside traders were aware of the attack before it happened, that the air defense was told to “stand down”, and finally that the airplanes didn’t cause the collapse of the building, but was caused by explosives set to go off at the time of impact.

The North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) had been notified regarding American Airlines Flight 77, but did not send any pilots up in the air until several minutes after. According to Victor Thorn, author of “Who Commanded our Air Force to 'Stand Down' on 911”, there are established procedures that are put in place regarding planes that change their course. Federal law MANDATES states that “the Air Force must dispatch a plane to investigate why a certain craft has strayed from its predestined route” (Thorn). The President of the United States can give orders to shoot an airliner if it is seen as a threat, and are required to investigate in a timely manner before incidents occur. But, oddly enough, the reason Military jets were not sent out immediately as they should have been, is due to only 14 jets being active from the 48 states who were aware of the unfolding events. The North American Air Defense Command was not automatically alerted of the missing planes. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had to call NORAD several times to inform them of the situation. Unfortunately, NORAD nor the FAA responded in a timely manner thus creating the time lag and ultimately the destruction of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Flight
