On the Tuesday that changed everything, Lt. Heather "Lucky" Penney was on a runway at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland and ready to fly. She had her hand on the throttle of an F-16 and she had her orders: Bring down United Airlines Flight 93.
The day's fourth hijacked airliner seemed to be hurtling toward Washington, D.C. Penney, one of the first two combat pilots in the air that morning, was told to stop it.
The one thing she didn't have as she roared into the sky was live ammunition. Or missiles. Or anything to throw at a hostile aircraft.
Except her own plane. So that was the plan.
Because the surprise attacks were unfolding, in that innocent age, faster than their warplanes could be armed, Penney and her commanding officer went up to fly their jets straight into a Boeing 757.
"We wouldn't be shooting it down. We'd be ramming the aircraft," Penney recalls of that day. "I would essentially be a kamikaze pilot."

Im not telling you they are incapable... Im telling you they had no clue which ones to go after at first, and then had no clue where the ones they are after were.... hence the reason they were given permission to go mach over D.C. when the Pentagon got hit.
I don't think I need to provide proof that buildings were not plane proof because the buildings fell..... you need to provide the proof that these buildings were supposed to be plane proof.....

2. Why didnt they weaponize the plane?
3. What about other air force bases?
