WASHINGTON (June 24) -- A former commanding general of the District of Columbia National Guard -- who ordered jets over the Capitol amid the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks -- was among those killed in a transit train crash in Washington this week, authorities said Tuesday.
Retired Maj. Gen. David F. Wherley Jr. and his wife, Ann, both 62, were killed along with seven others Monday in the most deadly train crash in the history of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority

Wow, the first thing I thought the other day when the story of the Subway accident in D.C. broke was I wonder who might have been on that train and whether it was really an accident.

It turns out General David F Wherley Jr. and wife Ann were on that train and he was the General who ordered the 9-11 Air Cover to protect D.C. the day of 9-11.

As the commanding Officer if there was a shoot down order of the plane that went down in Shanksville chances are this man not only knew about it, but relayed it, and what ever knowledge one of the most important government players that day had, that he might have kept to himself or only revealed to secret committees of Congress has now perhaps conviently gone to his grave!

On the morning of the Sept. 11 attacks, Wherley, commander of the 113th Fighter Wing at Andrews Air Force Base, deployed pilots with orders from then-Vice President Dick Cheney to protect the White House and take out any aircraft that threatened the Capitol, according to the 9/11 Commission Report.

"They said challenge them, try to turn them away; if they don't turn away, use whatever force is necessary to keep them from hitting buildings downtown," Wherley told the Washington Post in a 2002 interview.
Wherley, a 40-year military veteran, served as the commanding general of the D.C. Guard from 2003 to 2008.

I am beginning to wonder if being involved high up in the events of 9-11 is going to be as dangerous as it was to have been involved high up in the events of the Philadelphia project.

What a coincidence that the worst accident to ever befall the Washington D.C. Subway system claimed the life of this particular man?

Sadly possibly his closest confidant...his wife as well.
