This YouTube channel is great by the way.

The first wave was a couple of F-15s three F-16s. That flight 93 was shot down by a South Dakota Air National Guard F-16 pilot is false. It's a coincidence that the pilot was heading west of the first attacks to pick up an FAA official to assist with the investigation in New York.

All the fighters at the time were either still on the ground or in a holding pattern off the east coast. The FAA was slow enough to relay details that every launch was already too late to respond to their target.

I watched the whole thing live. I clearly remember a passenger plane being followed by a couple of fighters. It was filmed by a civilian on the ground. After some time, there was the news about a passenger plane that crashed somewhere.

I couldn't find that footage anymore.
