BRASSCHECK - he New York Times reports that an on-the-scene, eye witness account of what *really* happened on 9-11 recorded by at least six air controllers who were working the New York air lanes that day was destroyed without anyone making a transcript or even listening to it. The reason given for the destruction of evidence? The air controllers were not in the right frame of mind to give accurate statements. Here's how the tape was destroyed in case anyone thinks it was one of those bureaucratic oversights:
"The taping began before noon on Sept. 11 at the New York Air Route Traffic Control Center, in Ronkonkoma, on Long Island, but it was later destroyed by an F.A.A. quality-assurance manager, who crushed the cassette in his hand, cut the tape into little pieces and dropped them in different trash cans around the building, according to a report made public today by the inspector general of the Transportation Department."
