September 11: The New Pearl Harbor2013

Norman Mineta - Secretary of Transportation:
During the time with the airplane coming in to the Pentagon, there was a young man who would come in and say to the vice president, "The plane is 50 miles out." "The plane is 30 miles out." And when he got down to "The plane is 10 miles out," the young man also said to the vice president, "Do the orders still stand?" And the vice president turned and whipped his neck around and said, "Of course the orders still stand! Have you heard anything to the contrary?"
