© 2000 WorldNetDaily.com--> © 2001 WorldNetDaily.com WASHINGTON -- Terrorists who hijacked American Airlines Flight 11 out of Boston Tuesday morning slit the throats of two female flight attendants who tried to bar them from entering the cockpit, an American Airlines employee told WorldNetDaily in an exclusive interview. The terrorists then forced their way into the locked cockpit and commandeered the Boeing 767 to New York, where they slammed it into one of the World Trade Center towers. The flight, carrying 81 passengers, was bound for Los Angeles. A third stewardess aboard the nine-crew flight used her cell phone to alert another American Airlines stewardess back at Logan Airport about the hijacking and murders. The terrorists were armed with knives and box-cutters. "It was horrific," said the senior American Airlines employee, who works at Logan and said goodbye to the crew at the terminal. "They were trying to stop them from getting inside the cockpit." The plane left the gate at about 7:45 a.m. The cell phone call was placed about 30 minutes later, the source says. The jet crashed into the World Trade Center building at about 8:45 a.m. Soon after, a United Airlines jet sliced through the twin tower. According to the American source, the American captain managed to turn on the cockpit intercom, apparently without the terrorists knowing, allowing flight controllers to pick up cockpit conversation. The terrorists had turned off the plane's transponder, the equipment that identifies the plane and provides other information to flight controllers tracking it by radar. As part of their investigation, FBI agents and Massachusetts state troopers have interviewed American Airlines employees and Logan airport workers, including custodians working the morning shift, to rule out an inside job. ...

Why the (*&(* have we allowed our nation to become a nation of wimps?
Everytime an event happens, security, inconvenience and expense gets worse for those of us who just want to get from one place to another. We're the victims.
Train every flight attendant to use arms if necessary and also there could be one "passenger" on each flight who is armed.
End of problem.
Dogs could sniff for potential explosives.
We're not ever going to make this a perfectly safe world.

A billy club, night stick, metal flashlight, or a baseball bat would also work.

It doesn't get any more despicable...
Where will all of this end?
I pray to God that there is still a way for people to find God's Love and come to know His Light and Everlasting Peace...
God is the only answer...
I hate the thought of it, but I think it's only a short time before The USA is hit with nuclear bombs...
I am saddened but I will continue to pray for this world...

The terrorists were armed with knives and box-cutters. Once guns are compeletely outlawed we will all be safe was what they said. Is it possible that Rather, Browkaw and Jennings could figure it out? Not likely. They will only decry the failure of the defense. They will scream that the people in charge of the defense failed.
They fail to understand that all conflicts are won with offense. The most a defense can do is effect a draw.
For every offense there is a defense that will best it. Fro every defense there is an offense that will best it.
That looks like a stand off, until you understand that offenses are always invented before the defenses that stop them.
New offenses always win the next contest. New defenses only defend against the last attack, not the new one.

Terrorists took over an aircraft and killed all aboard using the same weapons available to everyone on the aircraft. Sad.

Were there no men aboard this aircraft? It seems not.

They gave their lives trying to fend off a takeover of the plane. Truly heroic.

The military is well-known for fighting the last war!
Same with most government agencies.
Look at the first response of the FAA. Eliminating curbside baggage checks (Great response, don't you think), random ID checks (really, a winner -- your papers please) and rifling more carry-on baggage (really helpful).
Before you know it, we will have every passenger and flight-crew member subject to a full body-cavity search before boarding. And it won't solve the problem.
But you will have lost more of your freedom.

...and also there could be one "passenger" on each flight who is armed. Didn't they do this for a while back in the 70s and 80s with "sky marshals"?
I was under the impression that it worked, too.
