Eg,

I watched the video, and what they are clearly talking about is whether there were orders given to shoot down aircraft.

Not whether the aircraft paths were to remain open.

I will say tho that the right questions were not asked by the person giveing the interview.

My question would have been, that while scrablled jets are 10 minutes away and an incomeing plane is 10 miles away, what orders are they refering to?

Orders to shoot down aircraft mean nothing if they cant intercept it.

Also if the young man had no idea of the actual target of the plane that is 10 miles out, how does he know the plane is 10 miles out?

I dont think that Mr. Mineta would have been able to answer those questions, but at the very least the interviewer should not have led the questioning towards the orders being about shooting the plane down. The time line just doesnt fit.

That wasnt an investigation, cops always let you do the talking so you talk your way into a corner, this guy was leading the witness.

Peace.
