It was a "dry run" by the hijackers
Would have needed to know certain things like
Hoe many passengers in 1st class ?
How many flight attendants ? What were they doing? Which one have the cockpit key (Boeing key) ?
Were the passengers on alert? How attentive were they?
Were there signs of security on board ?
All would needed to be incorporated in planning for hijack
Th ere were signs of chatter - it evened reached George Bush Presidential Daily Briefing of August 6, 2001
But was vague, non specific (Bin laden trying to hijack aircraft) Would have needed specific or actionable
intelligence
3 things are needed - Time when, within narrow time frame
Target what is being attacked, there are thousands of flight each day, what flight are targeted
Type of attack . this differed from normal hijacking in that was a suicide attack using the
aircraft as weapon
As for conspiracy types looking into Wall Street connection - Prominent newsletter has told subscribers to short
airline stocks. Airline stocks had been sliding for months prior so was nothing out of ordinary for this type of
action
