The unnamed TWA pilot, seen here in a screenshot from a television news interview,
recalled how he “dodged” one of the doomed 9/11 flights.

ABC News report on the flight. It includes the mystery pilot and a couple of passengers describing what happened:

Most of the hijackers were Saudis...So we invaded Iraq.

Had he not evaded he would have saved everyone in the South Tower, at the cost of himself and all the pax and crew on his plane.

The South Tower would have remained as a giant finger to islamic terrorists.

12/1/2001 TWA ceased operations after American Airlines acquired it. So, why are we only hearing of this almost 22 years later?

TWA’s Boeing 767 took off from JFK for St. Louis at 8:47 a.m. – almost exactly when hijacked American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower at 8:46 a.m. — the first to strike the World Trade Center.

Commanding the cockpit was “George,” said the flight attendant, who could recall only his first name.

As the TWA jet ascended in the clear, blue sky, passengers spotted a shocking sight – the World Trade Center on fire.

Minutes later, the jet confronted United 175 as it headed toward NYC from Boston, the flight attendant said. “We were scissoring up and down,” she recalled, referring to a defensive maneuver.

Um, I see a little bit of a time issue with this account. At the speeds jets fly...several/a few/minutes later? I was sitting at my 'puter at home when the first plane hit, and had to sit for a minute. I then got to work, just in time to see the second plane hit.

Just sayin'

Altering your flight level in a humongous sky is not “dodging”.

I like to remind people that after the aircraft were all grounded that there were found stashed on some of them box cutters. So it appears there were more targets never hit.

And now the US has been flooded with moslems by various presidents to our detriment.
