I would like to see a reference on this. The only "drills" I am familiar with are those associated with crashes (not "civilian jets used as weapons"). As a matter of fact, one of the firefighters from the Pentagon was in training for such a crash when the plane hit the Pentagon. They did a lot planning at the Pentagon for this sort of thing because of the proximity of Reagan National. Especially after the Jet Blue crash in 1982 which came pretty darn close. I would imagine that the WTC had similar drills and exercises due to their height.edit on 18-6-2012 by 911files because: (no reason given)edit on 18-6-2012 by 911files because: (no reason given)
Hey maxella, there is a new recruit in the house, I think this one has not read the all training manual yet, I'm sure 911files will get the hang of it after maybe 3,4,5, or 6 years, like some of his fellow manual readers!
On this day in history, 1974, Samuel Joseph Byck attempted to assassinate President Richard Nixon. Byck’s plan was to take control of an airliner and then force the pilots to fly the plane into the White House, thereby presumably killing the President who was there at the time. Not all went as planned, of course, though he did manage to get as far as taking control of a Delta Airlines’ plane. However, he never managed to get it off the ground.
Preston landed on the South Lawn, but soon thereafter took off again, angling the helicopter on a return route to Fort Meade. Two Maryland Police Helicopters began following him, but Preston took his helicopter on a series of “erratic maneuvers,” making it hard for the Maryland Police to force him to land. Preston instead decided to return to the White House. This time, the Secret Service was ready. They began shooting at the helicopter, with both submachine guns and shotguns. The helicopter was forced to the ground and “after a short foot chase” Preston was arrested.
So why didn't they have any defense for the pentagon on 9/11 ?

And yet, the events keep happening. Or do you not understand that pointing out how many times airplanes have been landed/crashed into the White House just shows that no one ever took it as a serious threat?
So where would you put them ....?
Consider that the Pentagon lies about a mile from Regean National airport
Also any bullet/missile fired is going to come down somewhere And do lot of damage when it hits
During attack on Pearl Harbor many of the civilian casualties/damage was result of AA shells from ships failing to explode in air and exploding on hitting ground
1994 Frank Corder stole Cessna and tried to hit the White House crashing on lawn killing himself
Lets not forgot how a West German teenager who could barely fly took a Cessna 172 from Finland and landed in Red Square in center of Moscow

Here is more evidence that they lied about "nobody could have even imagine airplanes would be used as weapons"

Could it possibly be that the Physicists you rant about don't care about repeating the work of others? The entire premise of the rant I replied to shows that you either don't or refuse to understand the difference between a static versus a dynamic load of a structure's components.
That's not even Grade School stuff, it's Kindergarten level... Try laying a brick on top of an egg versus dropping the brick from a few inches above the egg and note the difference in whether the eggs supports the brick or not...
When you do this, don't get too close when you drop the brick or you might end up with "egg on your face"!

Ok, use a basket full of eggs if you want! The same principle applies... Is it not obviously plain to you that everyone perceives you as a "kook" except for other "kooks". BTW, I won't be replying any more because it's simply not worth the effort to type a reply...

You never did supply me the source that the government had drills simulating plane attacks on the Pentagon and WTC. Everyone knows about the planes as weapons scenario. Even Clarke in his book outlines defenses at the 2006 Atlanta Olympics for such an attack. I've even been exploring the possibility that the tactic may have been invoked on 9/11 at the Pentagon. But that is NOT what I asked for a source on. It was your assertion that the Pentagon and WTC were drilled as targets of such an attack. That I need a source on.edit on 20-6-2012 by 911files because: (no reason given)
Washington, D.C., Nov. 3, 2000 — The fire and smoke from the downed passenger aircraft billows from the Pentagon courtyard. Defense Protective Services Police seal the crash sight. Army medics, nurses and doctors scramble to organize aid. An Arlington Fire Department chief dispatches his equipment to the affected areas. Don Abbott, of Command Emergency Response Training, walks over to the Pentagon and extinguishes the flames. The Pentagon was a model and the "plane crash" was a simulated one. The Pentagon Mass Casualty Exercise, as the crash was called, was just one of several scenarios that emergency response teams were exposed to Oct. 24-26 in the Office of the Secretaries of Defense conference room. On Oct. 24, there was a mock terrorist incident at the Pentagon Metro stop and a construction accident to name just some of the scenarios that were practiced to better prepare local agencies for real incidents.
In what the government describes as a bizarre coincidence, one U.S. intelligence agency was planning an exercise last Sept. 11 in which an errant aircraft would crash into one of its buildings. But the cause wasn't terrorism

What do you suggest. Dunking them in a pond till they drown or burning them at the stake ?
