tova e ot sky news:
Airforce Told 'Down Airliners'
US Airforce pilots were ordered to shoot down incoming commercial airliners over Washington after the attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Centre.
Vice President Dick Cheney said: "The president made the decision ... that if the plane would not divert, if they wouldn't pay any attention to instructions to move away from the city, as a last resort, our pilots were authorized to take them out.
'Horrendous'
"People say that's a horrendous decision to make, and it is.... As it turned out, we did not have to execute on that decision."
Cheney said there was no alternative but to make the order, adding that the US "absolutely" would have acted in the same way to prevent the attacks which left 5,000 people feared dead.
A "flying combat air patrol" has been installed over Washington and Mr Cheney said it would be up to the President to decide whether it becomes permanent.
Passengers struggled
It emerged on Saturday that US fighter jets were scrambled after it was discovered the planes had been hijacked. But they arrived too late to stop the attacks.
The plane which hit the Pentagon had initially been heading for the White House but was then diverted.
It was also revealed that the aircraft which crashed near Pittsburgh was heading for Washington when when it went down after passengers struggled with the hijackers.
