We tweeted this interesting NY Times piece earlier, showing some audio that was newly released with auto-scroll of the transcript, along with an animation displaying the location of the aircraft at the time of discussion.
You can hear all kinds of things, from fear in voices, to people not taking it seriously at first, to some just not following what is going on. To me, and not to second guess anyone, I hear how misinformation and confusion traveled fast. There was so much going on, and it seemed that there was no straightforward or clear point of contact for this situation to stream in all the info that was coming in and to action it. That is on both airline and military sides. And I don't blame them. Who could have fathomed a multi-point attack on US soil in such a way? We can only hope that we learned from it and rebuilt our system and methods for the future.
And please...no conspiracy or debates here. I just wanted to share this. Thanks.
