United Flight 23 on 9-11
History Channel | 1-6-2007 | Self

Posted on 01/10/2007 10:21:56 AM PST by TruthWillWin

Saw a documentary, "Grounded on 9-11" on the History Channel a few days ago that mentioned something major about 9-11 that I have not heard before.

At 9:00AM on 9-11 United Airlines sent to all planes a warning message regarding the other hijacks. On United Flight 23, that was on the runway, the captain decided on his own not to take off. He fakes a mechanical problem and returns to the gate!

When the passengers were asked to exit the plan three Middle Eastern men, or possibly as many as six, refuse to follow the request to deplane. Security is called but they flee before it arrived. Later, authorities check their luggage and find copies of the Koran and al-Qaeda instruction sheets.

If the information on the documentary is accurate another hijacking may have been prevented.

Why have not we heard more about this?

What has been done to find the possible terrorists?

Were there security camera pictures of these individuals? If so why were they not shown to the public for possible identification and capture?

I watched that and wondered the same thing. Their names (at least their fake names and maybe their real ones) would have been on a passanger list for that flight, and the airline would have had info as to how they paid. I wondered why they didn't go after them, or maybe they did and we just haven't been told.

I think it's entirely possible that there were other highjackers on 9/11. I don't know anything about what you saw.

They're in protective custody by the dems. Staying at the Ritz Carlton in Boston.

Did anyone else see this documentary or hear about this in the last 5 years?

Not sure. Information I posted was all that was said. The documentary was one hour long and this part of it was only for about a minute. I have a DVR so I backed it up and watched it numerous times to make sure I got it right.

This is mentioned in the United 93 movie also. Seems pretty clear another hijacking was prevented.

Why isn't this more prominent? Well, you'd have to look at the MSM and 911 Commission agendas. We have to make fun of the President reading to the kids, not give his administration any credit.

only God and the gov't are aware of exactly how many planes were SUPPOSED to be involved. Four were actually taken over and I've heard it mentioned, with no proof, that other targets were in chicago and LA..I'm afraid we the little people will NEVER know exactly how big this thing was supposed to be..

I heard about this shortly after the 9/11 attacks. I thought I heard about it concurrently with other news that day or very shortly after and heard no more.

This incident or a very similar one was reported here. No time to hunt for the link, but I distinctly remember a posting on this.

"I think it's entirely possible that there were other highjackers on 9/11."

Wasn't there also a story about a few MEs that were stranded in St. Louis (I think) when their plane was grounded and they hopped a train to somewhere other than their original flight destination?

Just poking at my memory banks trying to recall what that story was about...
