do you think this was an elaborate plan?

[Burnboy]

the news keeps saying this must be a huge elaborate planbut i think all it would take is maybe 8 people, 2 per plane, sneka on a plastic knife, take over the plane and then have the pilot fly somewhere genere like nyc then once the plane gets close they could just fly it in themselves.

 

[TxCollegeguy]

I think it would take much more then just a few people involved....If thats all it took then Security has really gone to shit. I remember 5 years ago how strict airport security was then...Now I'm not confident that security is a high priority now for Airports

well slide a plastic knife in your sock, how hard would it be for them to find that? they never would unless they frisked you

 

[Steroid_Virgin]

you know how hard is is to fly a big comercial plan that fast that acurrately?? this was a major plan... you dont practice that kind of shit playing fight simulator for a few weeks.. they picked the right flights too (taking off from the east coast to the west coast, means they were full of fuel).. they actually knew how to fly to a specific point from where they were (i.e. could read instruments and knew how to fly the exact plane they hi jacked) they knew the schedules of the planes.. they knew way too much, the timing was almost perferct... this was extemely well coreographed
well planned.. pulling off something like that could take close to a year to pull off.

i can probably go to priceline.com and loot at what times fligths take off and if they are going cross country

and like i said have the piolit fly the plane into nyc and within site of the trade center and then the terrorist could tkae the controls. it would be as simple as working the throttle and the wheel. you wouldnt need instruement readings for going that short of a distance.
also we cant rule out thet the piolit flew into the building after being threatened.

I saw on the news they were describing the flight plan of the plane that crashed into the pentagon. They were saying that it would take quite a bit of skill to perform that flight plan. They were dipping under radar and the turn they took into the pentagon itself was done with some skill.

This leads them to believe that a hijacker had some training. Because no pilot would willing crash the plane like that, even if they had him fly most of the trip.

COME ON BRO! You're thinking way too fuckin' basic here.

#1, who the hell would be threatened by a plastic knife? I have a hard enough time understanding why 45-95 people on a plane were too afraid of a real knife to rush the fuckers and overpower them. A plastic knife and take control of a 757/767?

#2, NO commercial pilot would EVER fly his own plane full of passengers into an occupied area or building knowing it would crash. I know several commercial pilots and none of them would do that...it's above their morals, ethics and basic human emotion. And certainly not against threat of a knife...or plastic knife!

#3, have you ever flown a commercial jet liner? It's not like driving a fucking go-kart, car or even a small plane. Flying a 767 at 250+ mph at low altitude and hitting a skyscraper takes a HIGHLY SKILLED PILOT...not to mention a pure madman.

This was no doubt a highly planned and orchestrated mass attack. It took extensive planning, skill and plenty of psychotics. The planes and routes were chosen, bypassing shitty FAA security, etc., etc. Knowing how to fly a commercial jet, turning off the transponder to avoid sending info to air-traffic control, plotting course and actually hitting a target.

It was a professional job...no if, ands or buts.

 

[SeXKiTTen_CanDy]

It was definitely a well planned attack. Some terrorist group with great ‘expertise’ in this sort of shit…

Think about it, they were ‘smart’ enough to sneak into the airports etc, they must have known how to fly planes, because no-way the poilets would have flew into those buildings. Planes crashing seconds after one another….

This is purely sick shit, what the fuck is this world coming to.

I feel sick just thinking about what happened, and I feel sick because there are people out there who have no fucking hearts or feelings, these people are born murderers.

 

[Phemomena]

i think the 'types' of people we are talking about are well trained in these areas, no doubt, fundamentalists such as these are almost always military-trained with some pretty impressive experience in areas such as flight patterns, explosives and such...

but was this an 'elabourate' plan... i'm not convinced.. i think it was ballsy, it was so bold that no one thought they could get away with it and were totally not prepared for it... and what did these guys (suicide mission) have to loose? they don't really care about being caught, they'd prefer they didn't but i don't think its a thought in their minds.. probably had cyandide or some other poision to do themselves in if they were...

its the plans where people want to get away with what they've done and live to brag about that take elaborate plans... these ones just take the right people and a lot of balls... no one ever sees shit this big coming... and they always want to make the perpertrators out to be genuises...

 

[VicTusDeuS]

if they planned everything out, do you think the black boxes and flight recoreders were destroyed so the govt couldnt investigate?

 

[karde]

The location on the plan of the black boxes is secret as I understand it. Also they are extremly sturdy, and very difficult to damage (so they can survive a crash). Not to mention I think it would be very difficult to access them from the air.
