Saw a documentary, "Grounded on 9-11" on the History Channel a few days ago that mentioned something major about 9-11 that I have not heard before.
At 9:00AM on 9-11 United Airlines sent to all planes a warning message regarding the other hijacks. On United Flight 23, that was on the runway, the captain decided on his own not to take off. He fakes a mechanical problem and returns to the gate!
When the passengers were asked to exit the plan three Middle Eastern men, or possibly as many as six, refuse to follow the request to deplane. Security is called but they flee before it arrived. Later, authorities check their luggage and find copies of the Koran and al-Qaeda instruction sheets.
Why have not we heard more about this?
What has been done to find the possible terrorists?
Were there security camera pictures of these individuals? If so why were they not shown to the public for possible identification and capture?
I did a google and yahoo search and found very little on this.
Interesting, if true.
What was the itinerary?
I watched that and wondered the same thing. Their names (at least their fake names and maybe their real ones) would have been on a passanger list for that flight, and the airline would have had info as to how they paid. I wondered why they didn't go after them, or maybe they did and we just haven't been told.
I think it's entirely possible that there were other highjackers on 9/11. I don't know anything about what you saw.
They're in protective custody by the dems. Staying at the Ritz Carlton in Boston.
Did anyone else see this documentary or hear about this in the last 5 years?
Not sure. Information I posted was all that was said. The documentary was one hour long and this part of it was only for about a minute. I have a DVR so I backed it up and watched it numerous times to make sure I got it right.
I hope they're guests at Club Gitmo.
Which airport was this at?
Why isn't this more prominent? Well, you'd have to look at the MSM and 911 Commission agendas. We have to make fun of the President reading to the kids, not give his administration any credit.
I hope they're fertilizer.

only God and the gov't are aware of exactly how many planes were SUPPOSED to be involved. Four were actually taken over and I've heard it mentioned, with no proof, that other targets were in chicago and LA..I'm afraid we the little people will NEVER know exactly how big this thing was supposed to be..

Newark to LAX.
This incident or a very similar one was reported here. No time to hunt for the link, but I distinctly remember a posting on this.
Wasn't there also a story about a few MEs that were stranded in St. Louis (I think) when their plane was grounded and they hopped a train to somewhere other than their original flight destination?
Just poking at my memory banks trying to recall what that story was about...
Briefly mentioned here:
http://www.house.gov/list/hearing/il10_kirk/news040414_flight.html
UA 23
Currently UA Flight 23 is a New York - Los Angeles flight.
8:55 AM departure, 12:05 arrival.
I looked around and found that it was a Boston - LAX flight according to some info from Cooperative Research's timeline...
Currently, Flight 23 is from JFK to LAX with a scheduled departure time of 8:55 am.
I did a search and found nothing here but that does not mean it has not been mentioned.
Was this a flight out of DFW, delayed by a cargo net issue?
(if it's not, then there were at least two other planes they planned on hijacking that day)
Was this the plane from St. Louis?
There is a lot about 9-11 that has not been released and wonder now if it ever will be.
On 9/11 I remember thinking that there could be more who were unable to carry out their attacks due to planes being grounded, too many people on the plane, or simple cowardice.
There was one leaving St. Louis for DFW that had similar MO.
Nothin' more to see here laddies. Move along.
It's just mind boggling that something so major has remained under the radar.
Has anyone projected the catastrophic damage to our nation if that plane would have hit the capital building or worse yet the White House?
Why just the SYMBOLIC damage alone would have been devastating!!
Wow- that guy should have gotten a medal of honor.
St. Louis was the one I was thinking about as well. I remember the same thing!
Yumm Yumm, the History Channel where the despot Joseph Stalin is just good "Ol'Uncle Joe".
Yakity Yak, Cub'er is a worker's paradise and little Gonzaliz is better off there, because they have universal healthcare.
Weel beat my wife Mo'hammed,islame was responsible for the wretched West's rise in the Rennisence and those suicide bombers are just "freedom fighter's
" Boom,boom ,boom, radical environmentalism and world citizenship is the highest goal that a young person in America can aspire to these days.
Okay spleen emptied
Thank You
Whoever called for grounding all planes made a very strategic decision. Have to think Cheney made the call along with "Or, shoot'em down!!"
We all hear rumors. I too wondered why we didn't hear more about possible hijacks which didn't take place because of decisive action on the part of the airports and controllers. I had to conclude (of course I don't know) our law enforcement took names and reviewed passenger lists from that day and eventually this led to other 'halts' to later terrorist events by terrorists unable to complete their missions on that fateful day.
Very shortly after 9/11, I did read that it was determined that several other planes were possible targets, but in all the confusion, when the planes were grounded, the passengers deplaned along with terrorists, and none were caught.
I remember they said that a plane in Atlanta was involved.
Flight 23 is scheduled to leave from JFK to LAX at 0855.
Makes you wonder what their intended target would have been....shudder.
It has played several times on the History Channel.
I recall hearing similar things shortly after 9/11, as well, such as unknown middle eastern men in flight apparel who were dead heading, but disappeared after flights were grounded.
Oh that poor man, Ed Ballinger. What a load to carry. He needs to know he did a REALLY GOOD JOB!
My wife and I got a firsthand account (from a passenger) of a flight leaving DFW. It was delayed by a problem with the cargo net. By the time the issue was fixed, the attacks were underway and the flight was grounded.
The ME passengers took off and were later arrested trying to board an Amtrak, IIRC.
My husband had a business acquaintance who was scheduled to fly from Toronto to San Jose/SFO (can't remember which...) that morning-9/11. His plane was grounded and he told my husband that there were 3-6 'suspicious' types who deplaned and disappeared (i.e. no attempt to reschedule/make other arrangements as all the other passengers were trying to do). Coincidence? Perhaps.....
Yes you did - I did too. And I think it WAS on 9-11 that it was mentioned.
Thank you.
On and shortly after 9-11-01, supposition was that up to 10 flights may have been targetted and had terrorist groups onboard. For various reasons, they were not all able to accomplish their missions. Some speculated or had info that planes taking off on both the east coast and west coast were targetted for hijacking.
IIRC, Flight 93 had a delayed take-off. That was what allowed those passengers to later find out that attacks were underway.
There was a group of ME men who missed a plane in San Antonio (IIRC), and took Amtrack to St. Louis.
We have no idea how many actual terrorist plots were supposed to take place that day.
The original plot, sized down by bin Laden, had planes also in Europe/England being hijacked. That part apparently was cancelled.
I remember hearing this shortly after 9-11. Story lasted not more than a day or two and then dropped off the radar.
The MSM deciding Americans didn't need to know - no harm no foul?? Maybe?
