January 2015

I was working as an ATC on 9/11, at a major ATC hub facility. While it's probable that some SCATANA actions were implemented, I did not hear the word "SCATANA" or anything referencing SCATANA that entire day. Nor did anyone else in the facility. Even our ATM made the comment, "Damn! You would think that after all of these years, somebody would have finally used SCATANA procedures, today!" The OM on the floor said, "Yeah! I mean... They just called me on the phone and said 'Tell Everybody to Land.' If I had known then what I know now, I would have grabbed the SCATANA binder."

Another fallacy in this article is the statement that "the Defense Department left command and control of the air traffic system with the FAA"

The Defense Department does not dictate the control of airspace to the FAA. The FAA (specifically, the ATO) is the ultimate practical authority for control of the USA's airspace and air traffic system. After that, you just have to go straight up the chain of civilian authority until you reach the President. After that, you're out of options. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.15.69.196 (talk • contribs) 04:19, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
