Kelly O’Donnell (@KellyO) September 11, 2013As citizens remember September 11 and Truther cretins mark the 12th anniversary with soulless snark, former Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer took to Twitter to share his intense firsthand account as a witness to history.
On this day especially, but on every day, may God bless America.—

Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) September 11, 2013Bush was told about the Pentagon enroute AFOne. Here is the scene in his AF1 office moments later. http://t.co/RHyVvBMngY—
Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) September 11, 2013When the plane went down in Shanksville, 1st report we got was a plane went down “near Camp David”. It’s about 100 miles away.—
Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) September 11, 2013There were reports on TV, which we could sometimes see aboard AF1, that the Mall was on fire and a car bomb went off at State.—
Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) September 11, 2013Prior to 9/11, there was no satellite TV aboard AF1. Stations would come in and out as we flew overhead.—
Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) September 11, 2013At 10:32, info came in saying “Angel is next”. Angel was the codeword for AFOne. It was one of several false reports that day.—
Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) September 11, 2013At this point, we knew 4 planes down. We were told there were several more in the air. USSS did not want Bush 2return 2DC.—
Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) September 11, 2013I learned years after 9/11 that AF1 Capt. Tillman ordered an armed AF Security man 2guard the stairs leading 2the cockpit.—
Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) September 11, 2013At 11:00, Bush gave authorization to put military on DefCon3. Last time US was on that level was 1973 Yom Kippur War.—
