that Bush arrived on Sept 10th. He went to Jacksonville, FL and visited a school that afternoon. Then he went down to the Colony Hotel and had dinner with his brother and other officials.

That morning he got up early to go jogging and then left the Colony at 8:30 AM. It took 1/2 hour to drive from the hotel to the school, which even in normal traffic should have only taken 5 - 10 minutes.

On the night of Sept. 10, Bush and his entourage stayed at the Colony Beach and Tennis Resort on Longboat Key, the narrow barrier island of luxury homes and condos fringing the Gulf of Mexico.

According to the official schedule, the motorcade was to leave the Colony at 8:30 the next morning for the drive to Emma E. Booker Elementary School, 20 minutes and a world away in a predominantly black area of Sarasota.

If the motorcade was on time or even a few minutes late, Bush would have been in his limousine, with its advanced communications, when the first plane hit the World Trade Center at 8:46 a.m. and CNN began almost immediate coverage. Yet Bush didn't learn of the crash until after he arrived at the school, where journalists' cell phones already were ringing with the news.
