Watching you and boner flopping around concocting flimsy rationales for why this was clearly an accident is mighty tiresome.

Boner has misinterpreted or deliberately distorted the meaning of almost every comment to him so we REALLY have a lot of faith in his analytic abilities/integrity.

No, we don't. We know who was supposed to be flying the plane. We don't actually know who was in control of the airplane. What happened to the co-pilot, BTW?

It may be time for Bommer to take more than a "nap".

ease up....it was pretty obvious what DJ88 meant - and you're making an ass of yourself.

We don't? A bit late, didn't read the thread? The razor is rusty.

Nope, we don't, and I've read the whole thing.

Who was flying the plane? Who else was aboard? What kind of plane was it? And don't tell me we KNOW the Swiss geezer was flying it at impact, because we don't. He may have been who the controllers thought was flying the plane, he may have filed some sort of flight plan saying he was flying the plane, he may have been in the plane when it crashed, but under no circumstances can we be sure someone else didn't fly it into that building.

At considerable risk of being fitted for a tinfoil fedora, I'll bite the bait and continue this fantasy of possibilities.

One eyewitness said she saw flames just before the plane went into the building. An 'ear' witness said that she heard an explosion followed by another much louder explosion that shook the building.

So... was this a charter flight picking tourists up in Milan? Only explanation for an empty flight.

A Mr. Ben Ladenzini, who wants to charter a flight for he and some assoiates to fly to Switzerland contacts pilot Mr. O. Geezer. Upon landing at a small airstrip in Switzerland, the plane is greeted by a dark man wearing a heavy overcoat.

Overpowering the 75-year-old pilot, the 'dark man' flies off into infinite martyrdom. To insure maximum effect he detonates his Jihadvest just as the plane contacts the building.

Just playing 'possibilities'… BTW, What the heck was a 75 year old man doing flying a commercial airplane? Is this common over there?

"straight and level"

Payne Stewart's plane flew straight and level with no pilot for more than an hour. Even an out of control plane could be straight and level during part of its flight. If there were engine problems and there was smoke in the cockpit, the pilot could have been incapacited or blinded.

There was no supposed co-pilot, the pilot was an elderly swiss gentleman. We know this is the latest newswire rhetoric.

Maybe the elderly swiss gentleman was lying on the cockpit floor with his throat cut wide open? Maybe a suprise co-pilot from the middle east was flying the plane? Maybe the plane had somehow taken damage in a fight over control of the plane?

They simply did not fly into that building on accident.

To: texlok, delbert,
Your comments are out of place on this thread. Same with Elizabethincincy or whatever the name is.

I am trying to read through this thread to catch up on information and every post of yours is like seeing OBL's ugly face or that Pali woman singing and dancing in the streets. Excuse me - but please shut up.

Besides there are dead and injured people here. Do you like to laugh and make jokes at headon auto collisions also? Even if this is not a terrorist attack (highly unlikely), your comments are juvenile and obscene given the loss of life here. Just MHO.

I wonder if anyone here knows if this aircraft is certified for solo flight, or if it requires a co-pilot?

The Vatican is not a tall, easily-hit item. May also be hard to see from a distance.

I take it you've never been to Rome.

They simply did not fly into that building on accident.

An excerpt from an eyewitness quoted in a 3:00 AP report from Italy:

"At the beginning, I heard something which seemed like a helicopter. And then I heard something like the engine of the plane which was dying out, and then I heard a terrible explosion," Taccogna said. "At the beginning I certainly thought of the September attacks in the United States," he said. "It really looked like the same thing."

"It did not try to deviate its course, but just went straight in," said Fabio Sunik. "Then I saw rubble falling from the building with all the smoking."
