The 9/11 Commission Report also mentioned Byck's attempt to fly a plane into the White House. On page 537 it notes:

Fold the $10 in the exact same way and it looks sickeningly like the collapse.
The example next to the $10 in this shows smoke. I think the $10 represents the rubble coming down, because smoke rises.
I do also find it strange that people grew up on MAD magazine. MAD's most know feature was the folding back page that made a different picture... Why would our money be any different.

Ahabstar, while I don't necessarily disbelieve the entire official story, I find it rather hard to believe that a handful of guys with "box cutters" held planes with 70+ people on them hostage. It just doesn't make much sense to me. It never has to be quite frank.

The 9/11 Commission Report also mentioned Byck's attempt to fly a plane into the White House. On page 537 it notes:
As part of his 34-page analysis, the attorney explained why he thought that a fueled Boeing 747, used as a weapon,"must be considered capable of destroying virtually any building located anywhere in the world." DOJ memo, Robert D. to Cathleen C.,"Aerial Intercepts and Shoot-downs:Ambiguities of Law and Practical Considerations," Mar. 30, 2000, p. 10. Also, in February 1974, a man named Samuel Byck attempted to commandeer a plane at Baltimore Washington International Airport with the intention of forcing the pilots to fly into Washington and crash into the White House to kill the president. The man was shot by police and then killed himself on the aircraft while it was still on the ground at the airport.

I'm drawing a blank on the butter.
After spending an evening with his brother consuming alcohol and smoking crack coc aine, Frank Eugene Corder asked his brother to drop him off in the vicinity of Aldino Airport in Churchville, Maryland. Corder walked to the airport and found the keys to a Cessna P150 airplane that had been returned to the airport earlier that day after having been rented by another individual. Although Corder was not a licensed pilot, he had taken several lessons in the aircraft and had flown it several times during the summer of 1993..........Corder then passed over the Ellipse and dove directly toward the White House at a steep angle of descent. His plane crashed onto the White House lawn just south of the Executive Mansion ar approximately 1:49 a.m.

As for holding them hostage, crews were trained to cooperate. If the hijacker said "Fly here or I'll kill someone" the flight crew would keep everyone else calm and seated, and fly to where they told them to fly. The training was to get on the ground, and let someone negotiate, and or storm the plane to get them free. It's all about saving lives.

The White House hasn't always been "saved".
Shortly before 2 A.M. today, a small red-and-white plane flew low over 17th Street in the heart of the capital's downtown, banked left in a U-turn near the Washington Monument, and headed straight toward the President's bedroom in the White House.

Asked by Democratic commissioner Richard Ben-Veniste, a former Watergate prosecutor who has read the memo, to recall the title, Rice said: "I believe the title was 'Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States.' "
Rice insisted the memo did not give any advance warning of what was to happen.
"It did not warn of attacks inside the United States," Rice said. "It was historical information based on old reporting."

I find it hard to believe that they choose to promote the latter.

these are the posts that make me want to puke!
the ONLY flight with more than 70 passengers was flight 11. Flight 77 had 53. 93 had 33 and 175 had 51. But that isn't the point. The flights could have been FULL. These terrorists BUTCHERED people, sprayed mace, and threatened to have bombs.
There is NOTHING hard to beileve about that!

The difference here is that instead of saying "fly me here", they suppossedly knifed the pilots and some crew members and flew the planes themselves. From the get-go these were not usual highjackings. I'm not blaming, but someone should have figured out that these were anything but conventional highjackings.

The way the system worked it would take almost 20 minutes to pass word to NORAD about the hijacking.
