Flight 23 - The 5th plane to be seized on 9/11, and the terrorists who got away

Have you heard about the airliner which was ordered back to the gate on 9/11 when the terrorist attacks began, only to have four young Arab passengers jump off the plane, after which box cutters and Al Qaeda documents were found in their abandoned bags?

Yeah, but they sure do love our products and toys don't they? They love to rip us to shreds for our freedoms and lifestyles and attitudes but they also love what all that can afford them, even Disney. Saying that albeit with the knowledge that the terrorists really do despise the "House of Mouse."

But I thought 9/11 was a government conspiracy that Bush and Cheney masterminded.

Did ya know your apparent hero Bush, allowed into the U.S. more from Muslims countries *after* 911, than the previous two decades?

Great hero ya got there.

I’ve been saying since 9-12-01, that there are many, many ‘sleepers’ here, awaiting orders to go after “soft targets” - unarmed hospitals, schools, colleges, offices, malls, etc etc etc - and that they’re still here.

Dearborn is probably loaded with them, hiding in plain sight. With the huge growth of ME-funded mosques etc, it’s a ticking time bomb. “OTMs” (Other Than Mexicans”) were literally pouring across the southern border, and probably still are.

If the SHTF w/ Israel vs Iran, they’re activated into asymmetrical warfare. I still believe it. I hope/pray that I’m wrong.

Never heard this one. Why didn't they catch the perps? Where are the security tapes? Why no nationwide search with the photos?

Not buying the story.

Your comment seemed to suggest that.

I’d bet I’m right.

The original “bojinka” plan had up to 20 airliners being seized at the same time, over the Pacific and elsewhere

KSM, the poor fellow whop was so cruelly waterboarded, was the mastermind of bojinka and also of 9-11
///
great point!
...it seems to me, terrorist rarely “downscale” their plans.
i’d be surprised, if he went from 20 to 4...

You’re being an idiot. He was shooting down the ‘Truther’ myth.

The FBI claims on this day that there were six hijacking teams on the morning of 9/11. [New York Times, 9/19/2001; Guardian, 10/13/2001] A different report claims investigators are privately saying eight. [Independent, 9/25/2001]

However, the reports below suggest there may have been as many as eight aborted flights, leading to a potential total of 12 hijackings:

Well...that’s a bet you’d lose. Not a fan of GWB. Just stating that he wasn’t the mastermind behind the attack...nothing more...nothing less.

My friend’s mother was on a flight from Atlanta to L.A. She does a considerable amount of flying and is not easily alarmed. She is also always in first class.

She said they were on the tarmac, preparing to take off when the flight was cancelled. There was at least one young middle eastern man in first class who was quite agitated at the cancellation. When they finally got back to the terminal the doors opened and the police walked in and escorted several men off the flight. She firmly believes they would have been hijacked.

I recall that boxcutters were being found on other flights for several weeks after 9-11.

http://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/09/23/inv.investigation.terrorism/

“Charles Miller, a U.S. Justice Department spokesman, told CNN some box cutters were found on other planes besides the four hijacked ones, but he did not provide any details.”

And...

Hindsight is always 20-20

We know now it was Muzzies, we did not know that on 9-11.

All of this was put together afterwards, and grousing passengers due to delay is not unusual
