But we are talking about the rationale for why he remained seated for another 7 minutes, and then stayed in the classroom for a press conference (In which he described what had happened, in front of the kids.)

And considering that he is the figure head of the government, and his statement has been backed up by officials from the government, I think it is fair to say that the official explanation for his behavior was a desire not to scare the children in the class room.

Now you might think that's BS, but it is part of the official story line for 9/11/01.
