really eh?

9:41 Cleveland Center lost United 93's transponder signal. The controller located the aircraft on primary radar, matched its position with visual sightings from other aircraft, and tracked the flight as it turned east, then south.

10:03:11 United 93 crashed in a field near Johnstown, Pa., 125 miles from Washington, D.C.

So...22 minutes is a "sustained amount of time" and enough to scramble fighters AND intercept?
