NORAD(North American Aerospace Defense Command) hield oefeningen waarin kapingen van vliegtuigen om ze te te gebruiken als vliegende bom.
Het verhaal staat in USA-Today, op CNN verscheen een lichtjes gewijzigde versie van het verhaal:
C.N.N.:
"Military officials said the exercise involved simulating a crash into a building that would be recognizable if identified, but was not the World Trade Center or the Pentagon."
"One of the imagined targets was the World Trade Center. In another exercise, jets performed a mock shootdown over the Atlantic Ocean of a jet supposedly laden with chemical poisons headed toward a target in the United States. In a third scenario, the target was the Pentagon — but that drill was not run after Defense officials said it was unrealistic, NORAD and Defense officials say. "
