TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida Governor Jeb Bush signed Executive Order 01-261 September 7, 2001, four days before the WTC tragedy of Sept. 11, which paves the way for a declaration of martial law in his state. The governor, in his EO, delegated to, “...the Adjutant General of the state of Florida all necessary authority....to order members of the Florida National Guard into Active Service.”
Immediately after the second WTC tower fell, Governor Bush signed EO 01-262 to make Florida the first state to declare a state of emergency though his state did not experience any terrorist events that day. Governor Bush is reportedly the only governor in the U.S. outside of NY and D.C. to make a declaration of martial law in the wake of the WTC tragedy. Interestingly, Governor Bush's declaration came before authorities in New York or Washington, D.C. declared states of emergency."

I think it must have been a safety precaution, in case something went wrong with the plan & they got caught in the act.
Actually, a lot DID go wrong. Had all the flights departed on schedule, then the crashes could have been no more than 20 minutes from first to last. Then NORAD wouldn't have been accused of a stand down order. As it was, for example, Flight 93 took off 41 minutes late.
So it appears there were contingent plans. Flight 77 couldn't make it to the Pentagon, or whichever plane was supposed to hit it....so they used a missile or small military plane. WTC 7, maybe, was the target of one of the planes, but had to be demolished in the afternoon when a plane didn't get there. It was likely the headquarters of operation (CIA and other secret agencies had space in the building).
