Counter-Terrorism : NORAD�s 911 Nightmares

September 28, 2004: NORAD�s top general has said work is underway to calculate the damage a typical airliner would cause if shot down over a populated area. Modeling is taking place to figure out how a large-bodied aircraft might come apart when hit by different types of missiles and the what kind of damage would be incurred from falling wreckage. NORAD has decided not to shoot down a civilian aircraft until it is �nose down� and they think it is going to attack. Apparently, NORAD has also thought through the aftermath of a downing, an action that would �almost certainly� ruin the lives and careers of decision-makers and pilots, along with �endless second-guessing, investigations, and lawsuits.�
