What's with this man mentioning a prop plane flying near the AA flight and veering away from he Pentagon.
Of course this man might be a plant. Who knows any more.

One of many questions and impossibilities surrounding the 9/11 attacks. London just had a 24 story building that was fully engulfed in flames, it never collapsed. Yet the Trade Towers fell in under an hour and building 7 collapsed later that day. What does it take for the media to start investigating and asking the hard questions surrounding the 9/11 attacks?

Maybe ask yourself who funds and controls the media? Then ask yourself who orchestrated 9/11.

They are every day. There's a commercial airport that takes a couple hundred flights a day within a mile or so of the Pentagon as they approach or depart, depending on which way they're going that day.
There is simply no possible way that a commercial plane would have been allowed anywhere near that section of Washington DC. None.

So you are now in the truth movement phase were you ignore tons of legitimate questions how unlikely the jet was hacked. especially there is no possibility the jet was hacked in an hour mid flight.
You just want to say it ways possible while ignoring technical hurdles and reality.
Make your case by answering...

You know your just utterly clueless.
The point for the 757, there is no central DCS that controls all flight surfaces. And some of the controls that do, are just for trim and fine tuning. I am not sure they will control for full range of motion.
Start with were are you going to "hack" into the actual control signal derived from manual controls to the hydraulics in wiring with short runs, no slack, buried deep behind instrument clusters and in the air frame. I hope systems and wiring harden for at least turbulence. If not water egress and possible fire? And that is even if the hydraulic control blocks are driven by electrical solenoids, not manual levers.
How you are going to filter out the original control signals to the hacked electronics to prevent interfering and competing signals.
When you physically hack the wiring of a system online, how are you going to prevent shorts, breaker trips, blowing fuses, and damaging electrical controls. One short, and it's game over.
The power concerns are for how one would luge aboard and install an antenna, amplifier, receiver, and transmitter to establish communications of telemetry and control signals on a system closed and isolated to the jet. A system with limited access. A system that would need to broadcast telemetry at least sixty miles if the ground control station could handoff from antenna to antenna. What if the control station could not travel, or not handoff from antenna. You would need to transmit telemetry 300, 500, 600 miles?
Possible is not proof. And there is zero proof the flight controls were “hacked”.

Those who believe the official conspiracy need only to rest on the deception and cover-up, and the bully pulpit of the government and the media. No thinking necessary, no analysis necessary.
Those who question and doubt the official story only seek knowledge and truth for their own sake.
Big difference.

Why do you keep talking about black boxes? It’s a data recording device? Data goes to the recorder. Back feed protection is probably provided by diodes. There might be a pin out for communications errors. The pre flight checks makes it impossible the system was hacked before flight.
It takes about an hour to splice in a car radio. Splicing in a flight system is almost impossible during a short flight.
You have to know the language of the flight computers. It’s probably not windows. The flight computers probably have a proprietary version of Unix. The cockpit control panels would have to be removed. Accessing the flight computers would take understanding of a closed source system with a specific language, with specific hardware, and rings of security.
And you still need to instal a transmitter, receiver, and antenna.
Anything that is actuated by hand mechanical controls with hydraulics cannot not be controlled by the flight computers.
Possible is not proof. And there is zero proof the flight controls were “hacked”.
