Have wanted to ask 777Tiger this before so here goes.

In your opinion, can a couple of guys who have only simulator training successfully fly a Boeing 757-223 into the East Wing of the Pentagon traveling over 550 mph and nearly dead horizontal with only 30' of altitude at impact? What is the probability IYO?

I think you would be amazed at how realistic flight simulators are.

There was a pretty awesome flash file/video that went around a long while back that took a deep dive into this particular crash, it was pretty riveting

I think the file was called pentagon.swf

The part in the “9/11. The next Pearl Harbor “ documentary where they highlighted this was fascinating

They had experienced and trained pilots showing how nobody could replicate it

Those hijacker’s could barely take off and land yet somehow pulled off such an elaborate flight and kept it together just in time to plow into the pentagon that even the highest trained US pilots couldn’t do it again

all of that seems much more likely than a) making an entire plane of people completely disappear somewhere else or b) have an entire plane's worth of people and all their immediate friends and families be in on the conspiracy and not a single one ever break.

Yeah if I recall they asked the flight school to learn how to fly but not takeoff or land. How in the hell does that not raise any red flags especially when its young men of middle eastern descent?

They weren't good. Hit a construction trailer before hitting the Pentagon

from what i've read, they were zeroed in on the target at 2000 ft and a couple miles out. straight shot at the pentagon. all the turning was already complete. they just needed to not put it in the ground before hitting the target

they were almost in kentucky when they made the turn back towards washington. had plenty of time to get things in order.

Upvote to downvote is 9/11.

Who's going to ruin it?

Except they didn’t do the former and never had intentions on doing the latter.
