The original 9/11 strategy in the earliest days of the planning actually called for ten total planes to be simultaneously hijacked: five on the east coast and five on the west coast. The west coast hijackings were ultimately scrapped because of the logistical difficulty involved of coordinating a bicoastal simultaneous attack.
