I wished people here would stop making speculations and instead use logic. Of course I can understand that at first a terrosim act comes to mind. But if you think about it would a 'suicide bomber' choose a time to crash a plane in a building when it was empty to avoid killing innocent people? I don't think so

Possibly. It would depend on factors like where he was coming from and what his window of oppurtunity is. Maybe he wasn't cleared for night flight and that this was the earliest he could arrive from his point of origin.

This might have been the best plan this guy could have concocted. As a suicide plan there are more factors than simply taking lives. This apparently was a good target for polical purposes.

If the 9/11 attacks had started 1 hour later, the death toll would have been much higher. So why didn't the terrorists plan for an attack later in the day? Perhaps it has something to do with opportunity. You don't just get in a plane and take off whenever you want. At least I don't think you can do that.
