As the skies cleared, the FAA and NEADS established an open conference call that would be named the Domestic Events Network. From that moment on, it would operate around the clock, seven days a week, never to be interrupted to this day. As one investigator put it, its creation acknowledged the fact that the FAA never notified the nation’s military air defenders at NORAD, NEADS, or anywhere else of “any of the four hijacked flights57 in time to enable them to respond to the threat before the planes crashed.”
