One just has to wonder, what's with the barrage of newly released 9/11 docs lately?<br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Government Releases Detailed Information on 9/11 Crashes<br><br>Complete Air-Ground Transcripts of Hijacked 9/11 Flight Recordings Declassified<br><br>National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book No. 196<br><br>Posted - August 11, 2006<br><br>Washington, DC - August 11, 2006 - The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) this week released full transcripts of the air traffic control recordings from the four flights hijacked on September 11, 2001, and meticulous Flight Path Studies for three of the flights, in response to a Freedom of Information request by the National Security Archive. The studies provide the most detailed technical information available to date related to the hijackings, and the transcripts of the aircraft-to-ground communications are the first complete government disclosure of each flight's air traffic control recordings.<br><br>The documents are cited extensively in the 9/11 Commission Report to establish key facts and basic timelines for each hijacked flight. The NTSB Web site references the documents but does not provide copies, claiming "the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 are under the jurisdiction of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Safety Board provided requested technical assistance to the FBI, and any material generated by the NTSB is under the control of the FBI. The Safety Board does not plan to issue a report or open a public docket." The documents were released in their entirety to the National Security Archive and were received directly from the NTSB.<br><br>Documents Can Be Found Here:<br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB196/index.htm">www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSA.../index.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--> <p></p><i></i>
