My Dad emailed this article to me. My wife and I watched United 93 last evening. I cant believe that my anger and resolve after 9/11 could grow any stronger than it already has been.

As a psychiatric counselor who has worked with many family members on those flights I could not hold back the tears. As I looked around the movie theatre I realized I'm not alone.

I hope every nay saying liberal across this nation views this movie.

"His name was Mohammad Atta, the leader of the terrorist hijackers. Atta had boarded my flight from Baltimore to Atlanta on July 26, 2001 wearing an American Airlines first officer uniform. He had the corresponding AA company ID identifying him as a pilot, not to mention the required FAA pilot license and medical certificate that he was required to show me as proof of his aircrew status for access to my jumpseat. An airline pilot riding a cockpit jumpseat is a long established protocol among the airlines of the world, a courtesy extended by the management and captains of one airline to pilots and flight attendants of other airlines in recognition of their aircrew status. My admission of Mohammad Atta to my cockpit jumpseat that day was merely a rout ine exercise of this protocol. "

thanks for posting and ping to the gang.

Not a chance that the Lovers of the Lie will see anything which remotely resembles the truth.

Great piece, of course you won't see this in "the drive-by media." I don't recall the 9/11 Commission reporting this situation.

interesting read

Thanks for posting it(as creepy as it is)!!!!

Something seemed a bit different about this jumpseat rider...

That seemed very strange...

I also found that very strange...

I found it hard to believe...

...which I also knew to be untrue.

What bothers me the most about this story is that all the warning signs were there, but the author waited until after 9/11 to report them. And apparently, at least six other pilots had similar experiences that day and didn't report them either. A simple phone call reporting this suspicious activity might have allowed 3000 people to dodge a bullet on September 11.

side bar to this issue of the evil-doers doing some dry runs for 9-11...
looks like Snopes has their take on actor James Woods' story:

It's too bad he didn't mention his suspicions to someone who could have checked it out with American Air lines. They could have put the word out to be aware of suspicious folks posing as flight officers. He put too much stock in the documentation and didn't listen to his 'gut'. But, hindsight is always 20/20.

This story is either fantastically creepy or an internet hoax, I don't know which. Has anyone done a Snopes check?

Could you please locate the url to this article?

THANKS.

Atta was Egyptian, not Saudi.

This story is a fake.

"Very few people know that, while only four airliners crashed that day, four more were targeted, and two of them were Delta flights. The only reason these four weren't involved is because they either had minor maintenance problems which delayed them at the gate or they were scheduled to depart after the FAA decided to ground all flights.

Oh my.

Theirs are the pilots and flight attendants who REALLY dodged the bullet that day, and my faith in a higher power is restored as a result."

AND, this means that there are still terrorist out there that were scheduled on those flights that day that did not fly. Are they awaiting another chance or has their plans changed? Are we still waiting ... ?
