NORAD had put out no scramble orders that day, claiming all telemetry coming from airports was part of a simulation war game. No jets were scrambled until it was far too late.

A few months previous, professional golfer Weber Paine had his private Jet go off course from it's registered flight plan and had two F-16 escorts within minutes directing the plane to change course to their heading or be blown out of the sky.
