But to go further, it's not primarily for the families - I lived on the east coast at that time and the US had never had anything close like this happen. It was shaken to it's core. America couldn't then take the news it own government shot down a plane as well and a heroic cover story would make a tiny silver lining to hold on to. Again, I have no proof and it may even be a stretch but it's certainly plausible.

the convoluted coverup required in this kind of scenario just isn't commensurate with the motivation; the decision to shoot down a terrorist-controlled plane would have been more than defensible and understandable in the aftermath of new york.
