A single-engine plane crashed into an Indiana field on Wednesday after the pilot, who was seen slumped over, lost consciousness and the aircraft started flying out of control, officials said.
Military officials do not believe the crash was terrorism-related but said the pilot may have had a health problem or have been suffering from a lack of oxygen. After air traffic controllers lost contact with the pilot, F-16s from Indiana National Guard intercepted the plane and followed it for about an hour until it crashed.

The following line of questioning may seem passè and a little dated. But how can they explain, logically, that F-16's followed this plane for an hour when not one single fighter could scramble on 911? I have never bought any of the official line. Even the "NORAD drill" excuse falls short. One doesn't even commit ALL of ones resources to any one thing even in a time of WAR! You ALWAYS keep a backup... you know,
for emergencies?
