A close family member was with the President this day as a member of his detail, it was a extremely stressful and long day, with many unknowns. 🇺🇸

God loved President Bush and Laura Bush very much. Every Christmas they used to pray for a son, God knows their prayers

people may have disliked bus (whatever your reasons may be, i wasnt alive when he was president at the time so idk his policies besides no child left behind...) but he wasnt run to run from a fight, hearing he cant go to the white house must be a surreal moment

Was the VP authorized to give an order to take down a passenger plane?

2:05 Seems the secret service guy didn’t trust Andy Card.

Further, Mark Tillman the pilot saved every one on board that day. Some of those fighter jets were flying dangerously close to Air force One.

Everybody just take it easy…. We know what this title is going to incite. Just take a deep breath and say something nice.

[terrystunner]

Why does the reporter resemble president Bush😅😅

[koolz]

Such dirty things occurred inside the US Gov. during this time allowed Bin Laden's family to fly home, I will never understand that...

[kylebraastad]

Would they have crashed a plane into Air Force one if they could have managed it?

[Billywkm]

This is the most tragic, horrific, beyond any logic and comprehension of mass killing of innocents. in the name of religion - by someone who has perverted the teachings of a beautiful religion.

[PaulGarthAviation]

0:56 I suppose the Chief of Staff is an aide...

[Discovery-rnkn]

War criminals and their security escorts, so virtuous

[nikolaytitov]

So, are they telling us that United 93 was shot down?

[gestureofendtimes]

we are all sinners in this world, we don't know the time of death when comes, so don't die without accept Jesus Christ as your Savior Jesus Christ coming soon
