There is an outrageous amounts of questions that are still to this day being asked by many Americans. But one of them strikes me as an enormeous
coincidence beyond any imaginable proportions: the Raytheon coincidences.
The outrageous thing is that people post a few speculations as "fact" and then build a case on it. It's not evidence that would stand up in a
court of law.
Raytheon was the 5th biggest government contractor in 2003 and 2004.
And the reason for picking on them was...
As one the the biggest militaty contractor both in America and in the world, Raytheon develloped and introduced the very first remotely
controlled and pilot-less Airliner just a couple of months before 9-11according to an August 2001 article in the
www.usatoday.com..." target="_blank" class="postlink">USA Today
One problem with your research, here. They had just announced this, but there was only one test unit and it had some issues.
Actually, two problems with it: a remotely controlled aircraft is difficult to land and impossible to land at a very busy airport. You can do it in
a nice wide field. You can't do it in the middle of other flights. Furthermore, the flight originated from another location... and someone would
have noticed there was no pilot. Likewise, the stewards and stewardesses and cleanup crews would have all commented on the lack of a pilot.
In case you haven't flown, the pilots almost always are there watching the departing passengers and waiting to step off the planes themselves.
Interestingly enough, on 9-11 Raytheon lost five of their high ranking employees. As details of the passengers on the four hijacked flights
emerge, some are shown to have curious connections to the defense company Raytheon, and possibly its Global Hawk pilotless aircraft program (see 1998
(D) and August 2001).
You have no proof of this. In fact, I think that if you actually did the research you would find that they were working on other things.
Someone else posted a statement by the widow of one of the employees... and Raytheon also published their obituaries. It's poor reporting to make
accusations based on your idea of what they might have worked on.
A good reporter would also have noted how long it takes a plane to go into production or to retool one after a successful test series has been done.
If you'd done that kind of investigation, you would have found out that the time frame for "pilotless aircraft" to be produced after a test was too
short to match your speculation.
Raytheon is a huge company, and works on a lot of projects.
