Did it show the F-15 Stike Eagles deployed from Andrews AFB that shot the plane down?
You mean the ones that didn't have any weapons on board and were supposed to ram the plane and eject at the last moment?
ETA: The Air Force wasn't even told that Flight 93 was a hijacked airplane until 10:07 AM, four minutes after it had crashed, and weren't told that it was down until 10:13 AM - 6 minutes later.

Yep, or the one with the one with missiles that took it down.

Only two planes were armed that day that were anywhere near United 93. They were F-16s out of Langley, Virginia that were deployed to protect Washington, D.C. from American Airlines Flight 77. They were accidentally directed east out over water. At the time of the crash they were over 100 miles away from Shanksville.
Besides...it wasn't until 10:18 AM that Bush gave the order authorizing pilots to shoot down hijacked aircraft. By that time United 93 had been down for 15 minutes.
