July 19, 2002 -- Two flight attendants on the doomed American Airlines plane that slammed into the World Trade Center Sept. 11 relayed vital details that helped the FBI identify the terrorists responsible.
For the first time, the courageous and crucial roles played by flight attendants Amy Sweeney and Betty Ong have emerged, ABC's "Prime Time" reported last night.

But there are things I don't get. How could information on the hijackers be pulled when they weren't on the passenger lists? How did identifying the terrorists - however that was done - help when they had faked visas and IDs. I have no doubt about the heroism and selflessness of crew members on any of the hijacked planes, but some of the official story doesn't make sense.
Here's part of a BBC report that says the names were on a list for Flight 11 but also says they didn't match to the ones the flight attendant reported.
Ms Sweeney's account of the hijacking provides unique evidence of what took place but it also appears to conflict with previous information.The FBI has named five hijackers on board Flight 11, whereas Ms Sweeney spotted only four.
Also, the seat numbers she gave were different from those registered in the hijackers' names.
So were the hijackers registered on the flight list or not? Somebody obviously hijacked the plane and from this article it states that the hijackers were registered on the flight. Ms Sweeney definitely witnessed a hijacking in process. It is not important if she got their seat numbers wrong. I mean are we talking one row wrong? Or did she have them seated in a totally different part of the plane? I'm also not going to hold it against her that she miscounted or didn't see one of the hijackers. People are cutting throats on the plane- it was probably a little bit intense, don't you think?
At any rate, where are you going with this?
Correct. My response to the panicky dilemma some people seem to experience when they consider those events is simple. Kill them. Kill them singly. Kill them in groups. These scum have withdrawn from the human race and are no more than rabid dogs, deserving only of the treatment rabid dogs receive: death. Quick, dispassionate, and certain. When this deadly scum realizes that we will simply kill them, singly or in groups, they will change their tack.
On 14 September, the FBI released the names of the 19 hijackers it believes carried out the attacks. There is some doubt about four of the people named as some of the hijackers may have been travelling on false documents.So their is doubt about four of them and only some of the hijackers may have been travelling on false documents. Also, didn't Atta attend the flight school in his name? Didn't he return money from a Florida bank to a Middle Eastern bank days before the incident? We will never know all the details and I'll grant you, there might be a name or even two on that list who maybe didn't hijack the plane- they might have got thrown in out of uncertainty because they were Arabs but let's just stop for a moment and consider. If the group of passengers the FBI says didn't hijack the planes- who did? Just spontaneous business suits on four different flights? And with two of those spontaneous events the deranged Wall St types just coincidently fly the planes into the same target? Come on.
My sentiments, exactly.

I dont believe that people who willingly (joyfully?) fly planes in buildings, who believe that dying in the name of their god will be dissuaded from their chosen actions by the threat of death at the hands of their sworn foes.
However there is reason to believe that the Soviet Union had a proven strategy. They would seek out and kill the families of terrorist.
I personally would not wish to put myself in the same category as the Soviet Union, but I would just put this out for discussion.
I have to wonder about anyone who takes Joe Vialls' site seriously. If he were really geting $250 per hour as a PI, he could afford better than geocities, which shuts down like a frightened turtle if more than half a dozen people try to view the site.
Joe also believes that the inverted letter V on the tanks in Desert Storm will automatically morph into a Star of David in the viewer's subconscious, and that's why we really won in Desert Storm. Subliminal messages that we were controlled by Jews. Nuff said.
If that site smorgle linked in #9 ever becomes available again (keep trying, eventually geocities will let you have a peep), you'll have your answer. Naturally it was the Mossad (in our own government, since they've taken it over), and it was done by remote control. There were no hijackers.
I wish I was kidding :D
