"not told to look for primary targets", is referring to Washington Center's controllers. Neither the FAA Headquarters or FAA Command Center told Washington Center's controllers to look for aircraft with their primary radars, but someone did or they made the decision to use primary radar on their own.

Apparently - Dulles was told tho apparently at 9:21, and they're the ones who saw it at 9:32. What does Washington Center mean anyway relative to Dulles? Who does what and was told what is something I'm confused on here...

''and that was the last time - that was about 15 minutes ago since I talked to the Indianapolis Center operations manager.''
This implies to me it has not been seen since the call, at least as far as this guy knows when he's talking.

At approximately 9:34 the Washington controller told NEADS that he had talked to the operations manager at Indianapolis Center ''about 15 minutes ago'' which is just about the time Indianapolis Center realized that Flight 77 may not have crashed and could possibly be a hijack.

From the 9/11 Commission. ''By 9:20, Indianapolis Center learned that there were other hijacked aircraft, and began to doubt its initial assumption that American 77 had crashed.''

It looks like the 9/11 commission didn't lie after all.


Good catch. Also ties in w/FAA telling Dulles to look for primaries a minute later.

I'd still wonder why it took ten-minutes plus to see... So where do we stand here?
