You are definitely reading too much into that, it isn't a literal interpretation.
And, "remote control" is ridiculous in any case. This is clearly shown in the Flight Recorders (FDRs) from American 77 and United 93.
There are many specific controls and devices in the cockpit that can only be manipulated and changed by a human hand. NOT by "remote control".....since in some cases, the only reason some of these controls were changed was to affect a display in the cockpit, for the human eyes of the hijacker pilots.
757s and 767s can be flown entirely under the control of their flight management computer systems (FMCS), according to Boeing.

Come on dude, you seriously believe a bunch of half witted suicidal hijackers had the skills and experience to pull these dare devil maneuvers off, within 15 minutes of each other?
And they just happened to select two very spectacular targets that just happened to spectacularly collapse like controlled demolitions by mistake? That to me sounds like a very desperate excuse of a cover story.edit on 21-1-2012 by Insolubrious because: (no reason given)

Easy to just hit the tower maybe, but to hit it face on damn right it's hard you have to be lined up correctly on approach or you might come in at the wrong angle or hit the corner. Did these suicidal hijackers plan which face to hit too? They could of both hit the same tower by mistake. They're flying at 500mph and hitting the building which isn't much wider than the plane, yet the whole of the plane goes in both times. That's a spectacular and co-ordinated attack in itself, and then it's followed by two even more spectacular events, the first tower collapse and then the second, which wasn't an accident either.edit on 21-1-2012 by Insolubrious because: (no reason given)

Erm.. clearly I'm far more educated than you and that my education was to a much greater standard. I probably had a better attendance at school than you too, I passed science (which covers physics).

The ACARS does not work like, nor resemble in any way, a cell phone text message.
You picked out a comment from page one. Perhaps if you read the rest of the thread??

Well excuse me Professor. Ha ha. I guess it doesn't matter that my interest in the content deeply drifted off after page one zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Comments like yours are the reason membership on this site has diminished with multiple threads devoted to ATS member's rudeness. Obviously my knowledge of the subject matter is less than that of yours but was still trying to add something substantial to overall integrity of the thread.edit on 21-1-2012 by Cosmic911 because: (no reason given)

Nope. I just think you wouldn't be missed. No feelings involved, just calculated evaluation of your value to this forum, which I estimate to be nil. I admit its based on only a few comments, but that's more or less the point: to see that kind of uselessness shine through so clearly in the span of so few comments is remarkable. I don't mean to offend you but that's not something to be proud of, it's something to be embarrassed about.
