PAINFUL DECEPTIONS -- ILLUSTRATED SCREENPLAY & SCREENCAP GALLERY |

They had nearly an hour to find it. It should also have shown up on Air Force radar. Furthermore, how could the terrorists find the World Trade Center and the Pentagon without assistance from the air traffic controllers?
This is the cockpit of a 757. How would they know where to fly? Would they use a compass and a map? How would they see below the clouds? None of the hijackers were good pilots according to the flight schools.
MOST WANTED TERRORISTS: HANI HANJOUR, PILOT OF FLIGHT 77 The person accused of flying into the Pentagon was failing his courses at the Arizona Flight School, but he continued to pay for training anyway. The New York Times quotes one employee, "He didn't care about the fact that he couldn't get through the course." THE NEW YORK TIMES, MAY 4, 2002: A TRAINEE NOTED FOR INCOMPETENCE, BY JIM YARDLEY And how about this remark? "I'm still to this day amazed that he could have flown into the Pentagon. He could not fly at all." The terrorists received financial support from unknown people. But why would those mystery people not care that the terrorists were failing as pilots? Were the financial supporters really trying to train pilots? Or did they merely want the terrorists to obtain pilot's licenses. Captain Russ Wittenberg was a pilot for the Air Force, Pan Am, and United Airlines. He flew both the 757 and the 767 airplanes that were hijacked on September 11th. So he knows how much practice is needed to fly those planes. He is one of several pilots who doubt that the terrorists could have flown those planes so accurately into small targets. He also doubts that the pilots would give up the cockpit to a couple of guys with razorblades since that would put everybody in danger, not just a couple of hostages. He would at least expect the pilots to send a distress signal. Our Government makes it appear easy to hijack airplanes and fly them into small targets. But many pilots and flight school instructors find the situation difficult to believe. When faced with such contradictions, shouldn't we at least conduct an investigation into what happened at those flight schools?
To make the flight training more suspicious, Daniel Hopsicker shows that the flight school in Venice, Florida, had connections to the CIA, and was operated by a criminal from Holland.
Did the CIA help the terrorists learn to fly? |
