74. There is a formal protocol for interviews of this type.
It serves two purposes:

1. It protects the legal rights of the interview subject.
2. It provides a consistent, legally defined framework for the investigative process.

9/11 was so off the charts that it appears the protocol was compromised by shell-shocked ATC supervisors. The person who destroyed the tapes very likely thought that they were protecting the integrity of the process by destroying improperly obtained testimony.

In retrospect, was that a good call? Probably not, though I feel certain that the ATC's whose interviews were destroyed got another chance to go on record--too bad we can't compare the original tapes to the "official" version, though.
