Woods also called in a dry run of the 9/11 hijackers. He saw them acting suspiciously on his flight.
What is it that makes a terrorist strike a “dry run”? One member of the mission calls it off?
He still gets choked up about it.
Funny isn’t it how the flight security keeps the rabble in budget class from having a real knife but the hijackers who killed on 9/11 sat in first class where the passengers get real cutlery.
He is a heck of a guy.
A "dry run" is a rehearsal. You only get one shot at a "this is no drill" suicide mission, so you want your team to know exactly how it will go down.
What Mr. Woods saw was people who arrived together sit widely separated (evenly spaced), then simultaneously get up and move to strategic areas of the cabin.
Take my word for it, or look it up. I'm tired of providing links to what is well-known among the attentive.
