9/11 Shanksville shootdown reference on BBC 6 o\'clock news 19.6.06
I am writing to you about an interesting quote from BBC's 6 o'clock news from Monday 19th of June 2006.
I am paraphrasing as I do not have the recording, and was told about it by my parents (both wide awake to the reality of terrorism et al) so forgive any mis-quotes. However, they were both so taken aback that they questioned one another as to what they'd heard, and called me later in the evening, as they knew I would be interested. I do not have TV, but do have broadband internet, and have since checked the online recordings, more about that anon...
There was a seemingly live piece from an AWACS aircraft (requested by German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble from NATO, and piloted by US Airforce servicemen) 30,000ft above Germany detailing how they were doing constant sorties to protect the World Cup fans against possible terrorist attacks, specifically from hijacked airliners, a la 911.
The correspondent asked one of the radar operators a number of questions, leading to the obvious question
'What will you do should you detect a rogue aircraft?'.
The obvious answer followed 'Scramble a couple of fighters to intercept and attempt to make contact'.
The final question; 'And if you get no response?'
Answer; 'IT WILL BE SHOT DOWN AS WAS DONE ON 9/11'
No hesitation, no retraction, no awkward body language from either correspondent or operator, just back to the studio.
I didn't find out about this until about 11pm, after my parents had watched the 10 o'clock news. They were pretty certain that it was a different take at 10, or another live Q&A, without the final Q&A's, ending on sending up an interceptor.
[..]
I have been trying to find the footage all day before contacting you, and continue to do so, but maybe you will have better luck if you out out a request on your site or during radio airtime. My partner's mother works in the 'media' and has told me that the BBC will charge 75GBP for an footage, independant of length, so 150GBP should secure the 6 & 10 o'clock stock, should you wish to go that route. We are all considering this, should all other searching fail.
Please make this information available in some form, if only as a mention on your show and site, as it will add to the body of evidence, and it might be possible to track down the operator for further interview. It suggests that either the Flight 93 shoot-down is common knowledge amongst at least AWACS crews in NATO/USAF, or this fellow was one of/knows one of the airmen privy to the reality of the 911 operations.

Here's what was said, got at least 90% of it.
BBC1 6PM NEWS 18:15@19/6
WORLD CUP TERROR THREAT TAKEN SERIOUSLY
Highly sophisticated planes are monitoring the World Cup grounds. We got access to the security effort.
Richard Bilton reported. This military crew have a mission to watch the skies, this is technology designed for war, the dish is a powerful radar looking for trouble or rogue flights. The missions monitor the air across Germany, they zoom in specifically around the grounds. They can spot a threat within one minute. The flights monitor games in the air for eight hours at a time. The multinational crew like to follow the scores.
INTERVIEW: MARSHALL HUGUES, US AIR FORCE - we'd expect them to scrabble fighters to intercept an aircraft and if neccessary as we saw from 9/11 possibly shoot down the aircraft.
INTERVIEW: BOBBY CANALES,SURVEILLANCE OPERATOR - everybody here argues about their team being better.
INTERVIEW: MAX DESMETZ, CO PILOT - I'm doing my part. |
