Moved from Commuting & Transport to Aviation & Aircraft - these people may have a better idea on the number of aircraft. They may not appreciate conspiracy theories though.

It's probably best to ask a carpenter:cool:

To answer the OP's original question, there are anywhere between 4000-6000 Aircraft flying over the United States Of America at any given time. For air traffic controllers, keeping them moving safely and on time is an intricately choreographed ballet—each plane moving through the air at different speeds, altitudes, and headings.

Will it put your mind at rest if I set up a site to say the opposite to what that guy says? It'll be as credible too.

OP what are your concerns?

Yeah there's lots of different views of what happened that day. Some are rubbish, some are intreguing and some are downright scary. The pentagon crash doesnt add up at all to me considering the damage and wreckage (or lack of) left behind. Conspiricy theories are hated by some people but it just lets the mind wonder a bit. A lot of it is bull**** warblings of stoners and hippies, but when scientists and respected engineers make statements about the collapse of the towers and building 7 etc its worth listening to.

DJKAV you'll love Loose Change if you havent seen it. http://www.loosechange911.com/blog/

My two cents by the way folks, I dont wanna spark a big 9/11 debate in AA! I'm just saying I stand firmly in the middle between conspiricies and truth I'm open to all avenues.

PCLANCY, the fact of the matter is that an airliner hit the Pentagon that day. Hundreds of people saw it fly across the city and crash into the building. The only reason the Pentagon attack is doubted at all is because there was no high quality news footage. Here's a website which neatly debunks the whole 'no plane' nonsense.

It took me precisely four minutes to find pictures on Google showing aircraft parts in the Pentagon.

Naturally of course since we have all seen the footage, no one can doubt that aircraft hit the WTC. So the nutcases have come up with another stupid theory. The controlled demolition idea. None of these people care to consider that maybe just maybe flying two airliners into the buildings might just be enough. And just because Scientists and Engineers are prepared to believe this crap doesn't mean they aren't fruitcakes as well.

I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't for the fact that most conspiracy theories are so easy to debunk. Of them all, the Pentagon is the easiest. Yet is persists if the fact of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Yeah I know dude, I said I stand in the middle of the field when it comes to this stuff. I have read for myself that yes a 757 did hit the pentagon. Whatever did happen that day and whoever was behind it set off two more foreign wars for the US and changed the power structure of the Middle East forever and the worlds oil economics.

You have to at least think that somethings a little bit fishey about Silverstein having got the lease for the WTC a quarter its value, then getting double his 3.6bn insurance policy because of that legal battle about "two attacks"

it just seems to me that people are afraid to ask why are their so many questions not answered?

People have been asking questions for years now(7 in fact) Its the refusal of so many organisations to listen to those questions that is the problem.

Personally I hate the Pentagon/mystery plane theory. It hit the ground at high speed,it nearly disintegrated! Just look at any crash site for a commercal airliners that 'fell out of the sky', most of the debris is tiny.

I read an interview a year ago with the Colonel who was in charge of Air Defense that day. He talked about how things unfolded that day. How his pilots were chasing 'rogue' planes to find that they hadn't heard the call to descend to nearest airport. He described how he was asking for clarification on what he was empowered to do. He had been told to use all means to prevent another attack but he wanted it stated whether he could order a shoot down of a commercail airliners. He got that permission 6-7 mins after the aircraft had gone down in Pennsylvana (Flight93) At that time there was an interceptor trying to catch that aircraft. However the conspiracy gang will dismiss this as pure propaganda.

Flight Aware shows a map of the US with all the commercial flight on it. Just click on Live Flight Tracker and select Nationwide. http://flightaware.com/live/

I used to work for EI Flight Operations,I had a radar disply besdie all the time(basically a commercial version of FlightAware.com)to help tracj our birds. It was mesmorising watching the ballet of aircraft,you could adjust the filters to display individual airlines or everything,then zoom into NYC to see the madness of all the flight paths for JFK,EWR and LGA.
