What was the itinerary?

I looked around and found that it was a Boston - LAX flight according to some info from Cooperative Research's timeline...

I did a search and found nothing here but that does not mean it has not been mentioned.

Was this a flight out of DFW, delayed by a cargo net issue?
(if it's not, then there were at least two other planes they planned on hijacking that day)

There's an interesting discussion here and it's already been discussed here on FR. I also found a mention of it here from a 9/14/2001 story.

Was this the plane from St. Louis?

There is a lot about 9-11 that has not been released and wonder now if it ever will be.

On 9/11 I remember thinking that there could be more who were unable to carry out their attacks due to planes being grounded, too many people on the plane, or simple cowardice.

There was one leaving St. Louis for DFW that had similar MO.

It's just mind boggling that something so major has remained under the radar.

Newark to LA.

Kirk is adamant that Ballinger did save the passengers and crew of United Flight 23, which on Sept. 11 was about to depart from Newark, N.J., to Los Angeles. Kirk believes Flight 23 was going to be commandeered.

Successes in the WOT are taboo subjects. Failures receive 99% of the DBM attention. In any news media other than that which we have in the United States, the passengers of Flight 93 would already have a federal Monument dedicated in their honor and in place commemorating their sacrifice and the incalculable amount of lives and damage their heroism averted.

Has anyone projected the catastrophic damage to our nation if that plane would have hit the capital building or worse yet the White House?

Why just the SYMBOLIC damage alone would have been devastating!!

St. Louis was the one I was thinking about as well. I remember the same thing!

Wow, and this was allowed to pass through the censors at the Hitler Channel? Unbelievable! Ahhh, Yes the History Channel where Hitler lives and he's now a Republican.

Yumm Yumm, the History Channel where the despot Joseph Stalin is just good "Ol'Uncle Joe".

Yakity Yak, Cub'er is a worker's paradise and little Gonzaliz is better off there, because they have universal healthcare.

Weel beat my wife Mo'hammed,islame was responsible for the wretched West's rise in the Rennisence and those suicide bombers are just "freedom fighter's

" Boom,boom ,boom, radical environmentalism and world citizenship is the highest goal that a young person in America can aspire to these days.

Okay spleen emptied

Thank You

Second wave.....Certainly sounds possible.

Whoever called for grounding all planes made a very strategic decision. Have to think Cheney made the call along with "Or, shoot'em down!!"

We all hear rumors. I too wondered why we didn't hear more about possible hijacks which didn't take place because of decisive action on the part of the airports and controllers. I had to conclude (of course I don't know) our law enforcement took names and reviewed passenger lists from that day and eventually this led to other 'halts' to later terrorist events by terrorists unable to complete their missions on that fateful day.

Very shortly after 9/11, I did read that it was determined that several other planes were possible targets, but in all the confusion, when the planes were grounded, the passengers deplaned along with terrorists, and none were caught.

I remember they said that a plane in Atlanta was involved.

Flight 23 is scheduled to leave from JFK to LAX at 0855.
