Right after the carnage of the morning of September 11th, 2001, six air traffic controllers were interviewed to provide their account of the events. Now word has come out that that tape was destroyed soon afterward.
Don’t you find it strange that such important evidence describing this unprecedented, criminal act of terrorism was destroyed? I mean, why would it be destroyed unless it contained damaging information?
The would-be journalist in me suspects that the controllers’ accounts might not have agreed with the official accounts we’ve been given. In a perfect world, there would be some jail time for the manager who destroyed the tape. Or at least he would lose his job. Then again, the concept of accountability hasn’t been in vogue lately, has it?
