I want to know how all of those people on that airplane that was up 30,000 feet in the air was able to use their personal cell phones to make calls.

I have heard numerous interviews over the years that the calls were made from their cellphone - not the phones on the back of the seats back then but from their personal cell phones.

It’s 2023 and without wi-fi my phone does not work. How did they all work twenty something years ago?

They weren't. The calls were made from either phones attached to the backs of the seats onboard the jetliners or made by cell phones at low altitude as the hijackers prepared for the final approach to their targets.

So where is flight 77?
Notice that this question, plus the question of flight 77 debris found at the Pentagon with pics as well as the bodies of passengers also found at the Pentagon have been asked to be explained on nearly every page of this thread.

And the 4 or 5 conspiracy folks have not attempted to answer any of those posts/questions.

Furthermore, the woman who led that group went to D.C. and spoke with Obama about reopening the investigation into what actually happened on 9/11. She was then killed in a plane crash.

Dumb question potentially, but do we know with any certainty what the target was on the downed plane in PA? I would think we'd have gathered that intelligence at some point, right?

Camp David? White House?

Most likely the Capitol (better visible target)

I would think White House would be more iconic - but yeah Capitol building makes sense.

Or Washington Monument, but that wouldn't have many deaths.

It’s crazy to think about how much worse it could’ve been. There was nothing stopping them from taking 10 planes that day.

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?


In the opinion of airline pilots with 30 plus years of experience the answer is no.

Commercial pilots today are basically Homer Simpson. Systems administrators who make sure the computer does what it is supposed to. Captains are close to 300K, and new first officers are making $150. Remember that the next time you pay $600 to fly a transcontinental trip. It’s not airlines price gouging…
what happens if the computer doesn’t do what it’s supposed to?

Lost in all of this thread, I may have missed it, did 777 directly answer this one?


777 is smart enough to avoid this kind of thread, considering his profession, like the plague.

According to Ramzi Bin Al-Shibh the original target was the White House. However, Muhammad Atta poo-pooed that idea during their final planning meeting because he figured the building would be too difficult to see from the air. The Capitol Building was thus chosen as United 93's target due to how easy it could be spotted from the air.

I just want one conspiracy theorist on this thread to tell us what happened to the real flight 77 according to their theory.
What if they don’t have a theory about it?

Does that absolve government and media of the lies they spew 24/7?
