1. The failure of standard operating procedures (SOP) to intercept Flight 11.
So, here's option A, doing it "properly":
Boston ARTCC detects AA11 has been hijacked.
Boston ARTCC notifies ATCSCC.
ATCSCC notifies FAA HQ.
FAA HQ requests escort from NMCC.
NMCC requests confirmation of escort assets from NORAD.
NORAD requests confirmation of escort assets from CONR.
CONR requests confirmation of escort assets from NEADS.
NEADS confirms escort assets to CONR.
CONR confirms escort assets to NORAD.
NORAD confirms escort assets to NMCC.
NMCC approves escort.
NMCC seeks escort approval from Secretary of Defense.
Secretary of Defense approves escort.
NMCC orders NORAD to conduct escort.
NORAD orders NEADS to conduct escort.
NEADS scramble fighters.
NMCC notifies FAA HQ that NEADS will conduct escort.
FAA HQ notifies ATCSCC that NEADS will conduct escort.
ATCSCC notifies Boston ARTCC that NEADS will conduct escort.
Boston ARTCC notifies NEADS of hijack aircraft's position and guides NEADS aircraft into position.
And here's how it went on 9/11:
Boston ARTCC detects AA11 has been hijacked.
Boston ARTCC notifies NEADS of hijacking.
NEADS notifies CONR of hijacking.
CONR approves escort service.
NEADS scrambles aircraft.

Okay to make it easier for you....go to my profile on here and then look through the lists of my posts...find the subjects that interest you...and then read the posts.
And I will freely admit, some of the 40 cannot be debunked..but then thats because they are too stupid for words. I mean, me pointing out the gross stupidity of having an automatic missile battery at the Pentagon, which is also in the approach/departure of Reagan National.....is never going to make sense to the nutjobs.
The only nutjob is someone who doesn't believe the Pentagon would be defended.

are you suggesting that at 300mph the planes would have bounced off and therefore not been able to explode within the building perimeter?
the speed of the planes has everything to do with the damage done at the impact site.
unfortunately, according to the official report, that is not why the buildings fell. so lofting along lost in fog or flying full speed. the official story is that they buildings could have handled the impact just fine had the jet fuel not burned down below weakening the steel. so where does the speed of the planes come in? and further more, please, please show me all this falling debris and these huge fires that brought down WT7. it makes sense, being rained upon by so much crap from falling buildings. unfortunately, NOONE has shown any example of the kind of damage that would have brought down 7. if you have that evidence, i am all ears. i am not going to spend my life here arguing with you about it though.

Stop the straw man crap. 3/4 of your post is just that.
-Please show me the difference in the kinetic energy between a plane on approach to a landing vs. a plane intentionally flown into a building.
-Then, please show me what NIST states are the causes of the global collapse. (hint: there are three)
Oh while your at it, please show me what testing methods were available at the time of the design of the WTC towers. (fire proofing etc)

so yogurt, can you please explain to me what the speed of the planes has to do with it? the official story is that the buildings complete and total collapse into its footprint was the result of steel weakend by the fires from the jet fuel. How does the speed of the planes have anything to do with that. are you suggesting that at 300mph the planes would have bounced off and therefore not been able to explode within the building perimeter? the speed of the planes has everything to do with the damage done at the impact site. unfortunately, according to the official report, that is not why the buildings fell. so lofting along lost in fog or flying full speed. the official story is that they buildings could have handled the impact just fine had the jet fuel not burned down below weakening the steel. so where does the speed of the planes come in? and further more, please, please show me all this falling debris and these huge fires that brought down WT7. it makes sense, being rained upon by so much crap from falling buildings. unfortunately, NOONE has shown any example of the kind of damage that would have brought down 7. if you have that evidence, i am all ears. i am not going to spend my life here arguing with you about it though.

none of the given explanations add up and none of them actually hold up under any kind of scrutiny.
The early news reports noted how well the towers withstood the initial impact of the aircraft; however, when one recognizes that the buildings had more than 1,000 times the mass of the aircraft and had been designed to resist steady wind loads of 30 times the weight of the aircraft, this ability to withstand the initial impact is hardly surprising. Furthermore, since there was no significant wind on September 11, the outer perimeter columns were only stressed before the impact to around 1/3 of their 200 MPa design allowable.
The only individual metal component of the aircraft that is comparable in strength to the box perimeter columns of the WTC is the keel beam at the bottom of the aircraft fuselage. While the aircraft impact undoubtedly destroyed several columns in the WTC perimeter wall, the number of columns lost on the initial impact was not large and the loads were shifted to remaining columns in this highly redundant structure. Of equal or even greater significance during this initial impact was the explosion when 90,000 L gallons of jet fuel, comprising nearly 1/3 of the aircraft’s weight, ignited. The ensuing fire was clearly the principal cause of the collapse.

Please show me evidence that debates the following explanation that states that the fire was the principal cause of the collapse.
