192. although the rules mandate "respect," no one really can require that
There is almost no limit to the extent of disrespect that can be expressed here. You can feed the flame wars as enthusiastically as you wish. If your highest purpose here is to call out the people you perceive as "OCT fundies," it's a safe guess that that is all you will accomplish.

I will back up my assertion.


Excellent.

In the meantime common sense tells you that when the transponder goes off and communications with a pilot are shut-off, certain ATC protocols are followed and alarms go off....


So far, yes. However, my common sense doesn't tell me that those protocols have included having NORAD immediately scramble some fighters, or whatever else it is you are certain should have happened.

The usual defense of U.S. airspace on 9/11 was not conducted in accord with preexisting protocols.

Everyone knows that to be true....


In the utter absence of supporting evidence, I have to assume for the time being that no one knows it to be true. If you know it to be true, the question remains, How do you know it to be true? Like Bolo, I await your answer, if any.
