Just read at Ace of Spades that the plan was to blow up the planes OVER MAJOR AMERICAN CITIES as the planes descended for landing.
That would explain the nugget that this was planned to be bigger than 9/11.
Okay - now I get it - how it would have been mass murder on an unimaginable scale. I am really slow waking up and taking this all in.
And we all thought they'd given up on using planes. Guess not.
Great I am in the landing pattern...and we have one flight inbound direct to Cleveland from Heathrow due at around 3pm.
