Because the NTSB data claim Flight 77 was flying at 20000 ft or 30000 ft on his way back to Washington for 25 minutes. If this was the case, it must have been detected by Indianapolis and/or Washington Center controllers who were looking for every radar return that could possibly Flight 77. (Don't tell me there is a 150 miles wide radar hole over Virginia). So it's NTSB vs. the statement of the Washington Center manager. One of them is wrong. Having listened to the Washington Center manager, I'm sure the controllers did what he said. This means the NTSB flight data - at least for this part of the path - is BS. Quote: "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. Maybe we can find the answer in this quote by the Washington Center controller from the NORAD tapes. ''So what we've done at the surrounding centers here is tell them all to look out for limited codes or primary targets or whatever the case may be and that was the last time - that was about 15 minutes ago since I talked to the Indianapolis Center operations manager.'' 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. Here's the incriminated sentence: "The Washington Center's controllers were looking for the flight, but they were not told to look for primary targets". This sentence clearly implies that the controllers were not looking for primary targets. But they did. If they were told to or not doesn't matter. That's an easy one.
