Reichstag fire, burning of the Reichstag (parliament) building in Berlin, on the night of Feb. 27, 1933, a key event in the establishment of the Nazi dictatorship and widely believed to have been contrived by the newly formed Nazi government itself to turn public opinion against its opponents and to assume emergency powers. Hitler had secured the chancellorship after the elections of November 1932, but his Nazi Party had not won an overall majority. He therefore obtained Cabinet consent to fix new elections for March 5, 1933. Meanwhile, his propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, is supposed to have devised the scheme whereby 10 agents led by Karl Ernst were to gain access to the Reichstag through a tunnel leading from the official residence of Hermann Goring, Reichstag president and Hitler's chief minister, who was then to conduct an official investigation, which would fix responsibility for the fire on the Communists. The supposed arsonist was a Dutchman, Marinus van der Lubbe, whom some have claimed was brought to the scene of the crime by Nazi agents. Others have contended that there was no proof of Nazi complicity in the crime, but that Hitler merely capitalized on van der Lubbe's independent act. The fire is the subject of continued debate and research.
On Feb. 28, 1933, the day after the fire, Hitler's dictatorship began with the enactment of a decree "for the Protection of the People and the State," which dispensed with all constitutional protection of political, personal, and property rights. Though the ensuing elections still did not give the Nazis an outright majority, they were able to persuade the Reichstag to pass an Enabling Act (March 23) whereby all its legislative powers were transferred to the Reich Cabinet by a vote of 444 to 94, so sanctioning the dictatorship. A feature of the ensuing arson trial, at which van der Lubbe was convicted, was the acquittal of the Bulgarian Communist Georgi Dimitrov after a strong defense.

I understand what you are saying here Satisified, but on the other hand I disagree. They still had no idea that the planes were to hit the WTC...Were the Air Force to blow these planes up or wait and see if they landed somewhere? I say they had to wait, they couldnt blow these planes up over New York City, although they lost communication with them, it didnt neccesarily mean they were gonna hit the WTC, now did it? If it were you, would you have known what the hijackers were gonna do the minute they lost contact? No...Satisfied said:Absolutely, no doubt about it.
For decades it has been standard protocol for interception of commercial aricraft that have A) lost radio contact with control towers, and B) strayed off course. Usual intercept time is about ten minutes average, fifteen minutes max.
There were fourteen fighter jets stationed in seven different locations on full alert, scramble ready and able to reach the various ariliners within the 15 minutes.
Those fighter jets and their pilots sole job was to be ready minutemen for just such a situation.
There had to be a stand-down order for them all not to follow standard protocol.
