I haven't seen this question asked: did the hijackers make the pilots steer right into the WTC towers, or did they have their own pilots. Or is it simple enough to take over controls without much training? I don't believe a pilot would be directing his plane that way, even with the knife at his throat.

What do you think?

Would an American pilot fly his plane into the WTC with a gun to his head or would he ditch it first? Would that pilot be in a such state of disbelief upon seeing the building loom up that evasive manuevers were not taken in time? The precision of the hits on the WTC suggests that the terrorists were piloting the planes. I suspect this is sponsored by a terrorist nation. I hope our intelligence community can figure it out.

I think that if I was one of those pilots and figured I was either going to be killed by a terrorist with a knife to my throat, or by crashing, I'd swerve at the last minute and hit the U.N. building.

I heard Col David Hackworth earlier say that he believed the pilots were shot and that the hijackers were trained aviators.

That certainly would have been true in the old days, but I dont know about now. Today, 10,000 parents surround Columbine listening to their kids get murdered. It would not be hard to believe that only the Pennsylvania plane had a pilot that refused, thus the crash that did not go inot a building.

If the Pennsylvania plane did not succeed, then somehting different happened on that plane, like resisting. If the Pennsylvania plane did not have a terrorist to fly it, then none of them did, and the other 3 pilots did what they were told.

I think only 1 of the 4 pilots resisted, and forced crashed his plane.

If the people on the plane actualy knew they would crash they probably would have done something. acording to latest news the terrorists stabed the crew and pilots.
