Yeah, I’m with you. It doesn’t make enough logical sense. It was what I saw scroll on IBN Live though. :/
The time between the hijacking of airplanes and their crashing on 911 was relatively short. And once the plane was controlled by the terrorists, you knew that it was going to eventually crash somewhere. In the case of hijacking a fishing vessel at a point that was 4 to 5 hours of travel away from the attack points, would raise the profile of the attack quite dramatically. My guess is that either the fishing vessel was chartered, the captain was involved with the plan or the fishing vessel was meant to smokescreen the actual terrorist mother ship. See ya later.
