Yeah, exactly.

And they were kind of commonplace.

Like I've read a couple of articles recently where, you know, an Eastern plane was hijacked.

Everyone was chill about it.

They just like served cocktails and you went to Cuba for like, which is kind of surreal.

Yeah, it was like- There were no fatalities.

Right.

And they were just kind of like a nuisance and the pilots were chill about it and whatever.

And so were the flight attendants.

Everyone was trained.

But regardless, what happened was a couple of things.

Like number one, you know, they started the sky marshal program, which required that if there was something suspicious about someone going on a plane, a sky marshal whose job it was to keep an eye on things and keep the plane safe was on the plane.

Yeah.

The other thing that happened was that they had a protocol that F-16s, if there is a hijacking or the suspicion of a hijacking, were supposed to be scrambled to go up to meet the plane and to do a series of things to sort of find out if it is a hijacking and to stop it, to thwart it, to threaten, whatever, okay?

Well, on 9-11...

For some reason, the first plane, Flight 11, was confirmed hijacked at 8.14 in the morning, 8.14.

And the planes did not scramble, according to the 9-11 Commission, until after the Pentagon was hit at 9.38.

So that's like an hour and 20 minutes.

Typically, historically speaking, the F-16s scramble within a few minutes.

They're up airborne at full speed.
