At 2.4. we read a surprising announcement in the newspapers about an unusual assistance, which granted the armed forces of the police:
"Two fighter jets intercepted the German armed forces have a plane from Nigeria to the German airspace over the weekend. The Euro Fighter had guided the machine to Cologne / Bonn Airport. The Air Force had been alerted by the Federal Police, at which the airplane had been reported stolen. The machine is now in a hangar of the Bundeswehr and should not start now. The alleged owner of the flier from Oxford in England had reported the machine as stolen. "
This is reminiscent of four aircraft, where luck was not destined to be intercepted by the Luftwaffe and forced to land in the next airport:
- American Airlines Flight 11, which crashed into the North Tower of the WTC on 11.9.2001.
- The United Airlines flight that crashed into the South Tower of the WTC on 11.9.2001.
- American Airlines Flight 77, which crashed into the Pentagon.
- United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed near Shanksville.
The question of why chains of command on that fateful day were blocked and who is not giving orders, is the question of exactly the issue.
