WASHINGTON - An internal Federal Aviation Administration memo summarizing the Sept. 11 hijackings says a passenger aboard American Airlines Flight 11 was shot to death by a single bullet, WorldNetDaily has learned.

The FAA claims the memo, time-stamped Sept. 11 at 5:30 p.m., was written in error.

"It was a first draft," said FAA spokeswoman Laura Brown in a phone interview today. "There was no gun."

She said a final draft of the executive summary, received by FAA Administrator Jane Garvey, does not include the account of a gun being fired aboard the plane.

Brown refused to release the final draft, however, arguing it is "protected information."

WorldNetDaily has obtained a copy of the first draft of the memo, which can be viewed here.

Here is the key excerpt, which was very specific:

"The American Airlines FAA Principal Security Inspector (PSI) was notified by Suzanne Clark of American Airlines Corporate Headquarters, that an on board flight attendant contacted American Airlines Operations Center and informed that a passenger located in seat 10B shot and killed a passenger in seat 9B at 9:20 a.m.

"The passenger killed was Daniel Lewin, shot by passenger Satam Al Suqami. One bullet was reported to have been fired."

Also, a SUZANNE CLARK, AGE 42 is listed as a perished passenger on Flight 77.

Well, sort of a composite of two passengers aboard flight 77, anyway:

[from CNN account *here*]

Suzanne Calley, 42, of San Martin, California, was an employee of Cisco Systems Inc.

Sarah Clark, 65, of Columbia, Maryland, was a sixth-grade teacher at Backus Middle School in Washington. She was accompanying a student on an educational trip to the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary near Santa Barbara, California, as part of a program funded by the National Geographic Society.

Re #98

I take back what I said. Flight 11 is not the one crashed in Pensylvania. It is the one which went into WTC nothern tower. Sorry for the mistake.

Finding Joy in the Sky

You can call just about anybody a people person. People who were close to Jean Roger say they know this. But what can they do? It is, they say, the best way to describe her.

And it is why Ms. Roger, who was 24, became a flight attendant two years ago after attending Penn State.

"After four and a half years of college, she wanted to be a flight attendant," said her father, Tom Roger. "She enjoyed traveling and meeting people, from children to 90- year-old adults; she loved them all."

One person was especially important: her boyfriend, Kevin Dowd, a Boston-area stock broker whom she had been dating for about two years. The night before Ms. Roger reported for duty on American Airlines' Flight 11 to Los Angeles she celebrated Mr. Dowd's 30th birthday, just the two of them strolling through Boston.

That night Ms. Roger gave Mr. Dowd a card that, he said, summed up her general life philosophy. "She wished me to have love, happiness and peace of mind because really, everything else just comes and goes," Mr. Dowd said. Despite a late night, the following morning "she went to work with a smile on her face," Mr. Dowd said. "She was happy as could be."

It was simple numbers that put Jean Roger on American Airlines Flight 11 out of Boston.

As a relatively new flight attendant, every third month the 24-year-old Roger was placed on a "standby" work list and had to call in every night to see if she was to be called up.

This past Monday she was on the list and had to be at the airport at 6:30 a.m. in case a flight attendant was needed.

"Someone called in sick and she had to go," said her father, Thomas.

Given the short notice of standby work, she typically didn't call her family until she arrived at her flight destination.

"That was the anxiety for us when we found out a plane had been hijacked. It took us three hours to find out she was in fact on the plane," Thomas Roger said. "I just feel so terrible for these people in New York who are waiting three or four days."

Roger was raised in Longmeadow, Mass., where she was a golfer and champion swimmer in high school.

She graduated from Penn State with a degree in environmental science, but after a family friend told her about the joys of being a flight attendant, Roger applied for the job two years ago.

"She loved it--the work, the schedule. It really suited her lifestyle," her father said. "And she loved going to strange places."

Re #98

Not a problem; that's an easy enough goof to make when dealing with multiple flights including aircraft from the same airline, of same and similar types at the same time.

But note that the Pennsylvania crash of United Flight 93 happened aboard the aircraft on which the hijacking crew is believed to have been one person fewer than on the other three aircraft that crashed into their intended targets. Whether that is due to heroic actions by passengers who prevailed because the 5th hijacker wasn't available to fight them off- or that 5th one was the one who'd have brought the gun aboard and the other four really did only have boxcutters with which to fight off the attacking passengers- should be balanced both by the knowledge that other similar attempts aboard the other aircraft may have failed when the hijackers shot their attackers, as well as the still very real possiblity that Flight 93 was brought down by a US military aircraft.

And the funny thing is, that if that was the case, I think most Americans could appreciate and understand that, and accept it as a tragic necessity. But in the aftermath of the Flight 800 governmental lies and fabrications, it's getting less and less possible to believe anything that comes from the Government That Cried Wolf far too often....

[Yougottabekidding]

I remember reading this at the time, but I've heard nothing else since. Are they investigating this? I also rmember reading that a number of middle eastern men were sitting in the jump seats in the cockpits (as courtesy passengers) of flights that were grounded, or never got away from the gate that day. What happened to those guys? Were they apprehended and cleared? 90 posted on 2/28/02 8:26 AM Pacific by afraidfortherepublic

They are looking into everything...

[sakic]

You're arguing that I should be able to disprove something that has not been proven. That's impossible and a waste of time.

This publication always runs off at the mouth without concrete evidence. After the 3rd or 4th time it makes them useless as a source of reliable information.

[afraidfortherepublic]

They are looking into everything...

I'm relieved to hear this.

[Fish out of Water]

I do believe that if Al Qaeda had planted bombs in the WTC they would have simply set them off killing more people and saving the plane hijackings for another target.

[fire_eye]

Besides being a co-founder of Akamai, Daniel Lewin was also an officer in the Israeli Defense Forces.

And somehow it's a coincidence that Satan whatsisname picked *him* to kill, of all the passengers on the flight?

[mafree]

Bump! It's easy for me to think Al Qaeda would have placed bombs in the WTC before 9/11- what was passing for security before then anyway?

[No Truce With Kings]

I sure find it interesting that the possibility of explosives planted inside the building by Al Qaeda operatives would be labeled as "wacko conspiracy theories."

It is a wacko conspiracy theory because crashing a 767 loaded with JP-1 is more than adequate to explain the collapse of the building. If you require something more complicated that either (a) you are abysimally ignorant of statics and dynamics (which unfortunately describes the many Americans that avoided mathematics and physics in school) or (b) if you understand basic statics and dynamics, and are aware that a 767 loaded with jet fuel was a sufficient cause for the buildings to collapse, then you are a tin-foil-helmet candidate.

So which is it?

[No Truce With Kings]

Well, even a blind hawg finds an acorn now and then. That doesn't make a hawg any less blind.

When you see a conspiracy behind every bush, by golly, every once in a while a bush is gonna have a conspiracy behind it. But if you buy stocks based on the success rate you get doing that you would go broke before too much longer.

Unfortunately, conspiracy wackos don't put their money where their mouth's are. So they don't go broke, and stay in the game forever. So sane Freepers get to listen to these nuts whine on and on about wacko conspiracies that fail to pan out 99-44/100th percent of the time. Then we are expected to take them seriously because 66/100th percent of the time there is something, possibly, behind what they say.

Conspiracy buffs typically need to get a life -- badly.
