The following information, posted by Southack last night, blew me away:

1 year prior to the 9/11 WTC/Pentagon attacks, Mohamed Atta's Saudi Arabian roommate crashed his Piper Cherokee private aircraft into a Piper Aztec commercial flight in Florida. The date: 9/11/2000.

Here's the government report from that crash

I've never seen that before. But how do you know the connection to Atta?

That's not what the report says. The report says that the Cherokee was in front of the Aztec. It also blames the crash on the local crontroller's failure to keep the aircraft separated. Now what you wrote might be techically correct if the Aztec overtook the Cherokee and as it was doing so, the Cherokee, piloted by the Saudi, executed the turn as directed by ATC.
