Either the pilots were in on it, or the terrorists quickly secured the cockpit and flew it themselves.No American pilots were in on this. Bin LAden would ahve placed his own pilots on each plane because our guys would have flown the planes into the ground rather than do this and Bib Laden would not take the chance on that happening. Our pilots were dead before these planes ever hit.
How could they have been threatened? With Death?
[Speculation>I wouldn't put it outside of possibility that we have recently nationalized foriegn pilots working as domestic pilots. They could have been planted here and their loyalty is still towards their former countries.[/Speculation>
I heard a report that the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania was flying about 2000 - 3000 feet above ground level, then started flying in an unstable manner, nosed up, winged over, and crashed at a 45 deg. angle. That says cockpit struggle to me. I think that was the plane that was directed toward Camp David.
If that's what happened, the crew were heroes. Saving bandwidth, may God hold all the innocents and their families gently in His hands, and may He guide us with faith and strength through what will be extraordinarily difficult days.
