AnthonyW:  True, overall it was a bad situation though, I'm sure some new yorkers thought the jumbo jet was going to be shot down by the fighter jets 3 years ago

ZacMoilanen:  There was at least a one, I thought I might have read two, fighter jet escort. I think it would have had more than enough fire support. ;) 3 years ago

AnthonyW:  the one thing people need to keep in mind is if they actually did tell the public, that would have put air force one at risk of being shot down even though the odds would be slim, but it'd still be possible since it was flying so low 3 years ago
