Shot down?

Okay, this is darn weird. A Navy prosecutor claims in his opening statements the the 4th plane in the 9/11 attacks was "shot down"
But prosecutor Timothy Stone, in an attempt to draw a link between Hamdan and the al Qaeda leadership in the first Guantanamo war crimes trial, told the six-member jury of U.S. military officers who will decide Hamdan's guilt or innocence that Hamdan had inside knowledge of the 2001 attacks on the United States because he overheard a conversation between bin Laden and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri.

"If they hadn't shot down the fourth plane it would've hit the dome," Stone, a Navy officer, said in his opening remarks.
In the alternate universe I live in, flight 93 was prevented from reaching Washington D.C. when a brave gay, ex-football player prayed to Jesus, said "Let's roll!" and forced the terrorists to fly the plane into a Pennsylvania field. I know because I saw it on the teevee.

Huh, that's odd. Was the Navy guy quoting the defendant, or did he honestly think the plane was "shot down"? If the latter, he's way to ignorant to be representing this country (or anyone) in a court of law.
