David Ray Griffin deals extensively with the issue of "phantom FL11" in his book Debunking 9/11 Debunking. He suggests that though someone in the FAA did mistakenly say that AAL11 was still airborne and heading to Washington, it is extremely unlikely that the Langley fighters were scrambled to meet this phantom flight. The reason the phantom flight scenario was cooked up years after 9/11, according to Griffin, is to explain why the Langley fighters were scrambled. The real reason they were scrambled, of course, was because NEADS had been informed of AAL77 heading to Washington. The military, however, had come up with a new story claiming that they hadn't heard anything from the FAA about AAL77's hijacking until after it had hit the Pentagon. Thus, in order to validate this new story, they had to come up with an excuse as to why the Langley fighters were launched at 9:24. This new excuse was to be the phantom FL11. Meanwhile, the question of why those Langley fighters were initially headed out east over the Atlantic instead of toward any hijacked planes-- real or phantom-- is a mystery that has never been explained. |
