Michael Bronner has written an interesting article for Vanity Fair. He was an associate producer on the film United 93, which I think is the best film of the year so far. As part of his research for the film he requested tapes from NORAD from 9/11 (just how do you do that?). He got snippets and made do. Seven months later he got the full 30 hours of tapes. 9/11 Live: The NORAD Tapes is the result. The website lets you play the audio of the recordings.
The recordings show the array of misinformation that was going around and restraint of the military. "What emerges from the barrage of [misinformation] flying... from all directions is a picture of remarkable composure. Snap decisions more often than not turn out to be the right ones " To tell you the truth, I think seeing United 93 helped me appreciate this article more.
Which makes it all stranger that the other thread running through this article is how the military lied to the 9/11 commission about their ability to take down United 93.
Read the article.
