Discovery Movie Tonight on 9/11
irst let me say that I am not in the LIHOP or the MIHOP camp. I just believe that the administration is so stupid that they did understand what kind of world we were living in.

Anyway, onto this movie. On flight 93 they talk about how the pilots were so amateur and could not fly the plane correctly etc. So I want to know how it is amateurs can take a plane and fly into the pentagon? Every pilot I have ever talked to about it, has always talked about how hard it would be to travel at 500mph at that low altitude and fly it perfectly into the pentagon. I fly little planes, and I can't imagine how hard it would to do that with a single engine at 65mph.

So now they want me to believe that this guy could not keep the plane from nose diving and going way back up etc. This is well before the whole passenger rushing thing. They show him not being able to contol the plane. His altitude was so low.

I just have this feeling that the secret that we are not being told is who really trained these guys to fly. Is it possible that the US in the 80's trained them with our air force? To me it would make sense, because all these guys did in this country was do some simulator time. So if you can fly a jet, you can learn about a new one in a simulator pretty easily.

1. From what I understand
This is what I posted in the other thread:

the terrorists that carried out the 911 plot were in there late 20s and 30s. That would put them as children during the RayGun administration. Sad to say, but 911 was planned during the Clinton administration. Likely, 911 would have happened during the Gore administration if they had counted all the votes in Florida.

2. hah
I responded there to you.

Fair enough, just think it is impossible for these guys to have as little training as we were told.

4. another idea
It seems that these guys were not capable of this type of flying.
What if the hijackers were duped as well. They were told to take over and hijack these planes, but in reality they were being flown by remote control.

5. the hijacker on flight 93
did not fly the plane into the Pentagon. Who is to say all the pilots had the same amount of skill? Who is to say the hijacker on flight 93 would have hit his target?

You are making assumtions.
