I watched on a documentary that, during 9/11, the American military was still on a Cold War footing, despite the fact that the Cold War ended 10 years previously.

The documentary explained that, during the attacks, there were just three fighter planes defending the 123 million people in America's north eastern states and only 14 on alert for the 48 contiguous states.
