Andromeda Posted September 12, 2001 Share Posted September 12, 2001 to think that anyone but a group of highly organized individuals could have done this is just dumb. sure, anybody can hijack a plane, but how many people do you know that can hijack five planes and get almost all of them to where they are going and coordinated within a given time frame? also, to hijack a plane you have to know how to FLY ONE.

Andromeda Posted September 12, 2001 Share Posted September 12, 2001 how many people do you know who can fly a Boeing? and last, but most certainly not least, they kept it QUIET!!! we had absolutely no clue it was coming. no ordinary putz, or even a mediocre terrorist organization could have performed this act to the degree of "perfection" that it was. so therefore, logically, it had to be an experienced and very intelligent, and most likely large terrorist organization that committed this heinous crime.

Guest Guenevere Posted September 12, 2001 Share Posted September 12, 2001 I think you misundersttod me there. I was only saying that everyone is pointing the blame in all directions when no one really has any idea who was responsible. I could get into a whole argument on it, but I don't want to in a thread like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR2000Z Posted September 12, 2001 Share Posted September 12, 2001 Nobody knows who's responsible for sure. We'll know in a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander 598 Posted September 12, 2001 Share Posted September 12, 2001 I've narrowed it down to China or someone in the Middle East. If we were under Nuclear Attack we would all be dead. If someone wants War with us they want are land to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR2000Z Posted September 12, 2001 Share Posted September 12, 2001 There wont be a world war because no nation is going to stand with the 10,000 murdered civilians. Its just US and whoever is held responsible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nute Gunray Posted September 12, 2001 Share Posted September 12, 2001 Originally posted by Andromeda: how many people do you know who can fly a Boeing? I could do it. They're very simple to control. There's a yoke that's not unlike a steering wheel that controls your left right motion. It pushes in and pulls out to control up down. You have two pedals that control the rudder. And you have the throttle quadrant. Child's play. This was not nearly as complex as it seems. The TIMING is a bit hard to work out, but if you took your time going over flight times it would be easy to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Posted September 12, 2001 Share Posted September 12, 2001 yes, in theory i imagine you could do it, but if you were a terrorist organization, would you trust in someone who knew how to fly a Boeing in theory? i wouldn't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Luke Skywalker Posted September 12, 2001 Share Posted September 12, 2001 Andromeda, just one of us that fly flight simulations or even XWA can do that with high precition, for us is a picnic. ------------------ "We did it!!!" >May the force be with you< Luke Skywalker, 38th Kokou Sentai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Loyaltist Posted September 12, 2001 Share Posted September 12, 2001 Damn I though I would never would have to live through something like this. I'm both filled with rage and with sadness.

Jem Posted September 12, 2001 Share Posted September 12, 2001 damn... I just saw the first night view of N.Y. without its 2 great towers. The feeling of something missing sickens me. You clearly notice the WTC lights are gone, it's as if a second moon that illuminated N.Y just vanished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Posted September 12, 2001 Share Posted September 12, 2001 the only reason i mention flying is because yeah, crashing is easy, but you have to fly the plane to the building you want to crash it into first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jem Posted September 12, 2001 Share Posted September 12, 2001 I heard on CNN that it doesn't take a rocket scientist to fly a plane when it is already in the air, people who never flew before could do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense...but I am calling MAJOR BS on that. That maybe true for say, a Cessna, but the power size and force of that airliner.....so different. To say that because you play some videogame and it makes you as able as someone who goes throught 4 years of school......seriously now, remove head from sphincter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Luke Skywalker Posted September 12, 2001 Share Posted September 12, 2001 Ok, you right but fly a Boing with a little knowlenge of civilian aircraft is not easy, but not imposible. My theory if that one of the terrorist use the pilot to make the corrections and when near of the building they take command in the last seconds, enough to aim without loss the overall control and sustentation force. Damn, they convert it in a guided missile. ------------------ "We did it!!!" >May the force be with you< Luke Skywalker, 38th Kokou Sentai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, see, heres the problem, with everyone condemning it, when we find out who did it, who is going to fight back against us. NO ONE. and Secondly.....next person to quote that big dead gas bag Nostradamous gets a foot in the arse. He was/is/and always will be full of it. Don't you remember after the last set of big quakes everyone saying, "OH NO ITS THE END WE ARE ALL GUNNA DIE!!!". Yeah same ****, different color or whatever that saying is.

Guest Rogue 9 Posted September 12, 2001 Share Posted September 12, 2001 the pilots were obviosly trained to some extent...we know that all the planes that were hyjacked had similar controls, and we also know that the pilots weren't killed immedeitley because one turned his radio mike on and controlers heard him talking to the hjacker. he was probably killed once they were over new york so that he wouldn't interfere but up till then he was the one flying. p.s. it doesn't take that much skill to fly into a building, the trick is avoiding them.

milkshake Posted September 12, 2001 Share Posted September 12, 2001 Jesus man, I've just heard the news and read through this post. This incedent has angred me as much as any American, I spend alot of time in the US, it's almost like a second home to me, I almost cried when I heard the news, and saw it unfold before my eyes on CNN, my condoloncies(sp?) go out to all and everyone hurt by this evil act. On the subject of flying these Airliners, a copy of a simulation such as Flight Sim 2000 would not be that difficult to get hold of and is very realistic, I personally have put many hours into that simulation and I belive I could take off fly and land it, it comes whith basic and advanced tutorials teaching flight tequnics and such. Somebody who had spent tiem with the program could easily if he hadthe will power carry out this dispicibly cowardly act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
