The software had been operational since the mid-80s, and there is video of the take-offs and landings with this kind of software being used as part of the auto-pilot systems back then. Not hard at all, and you ignorance about it is kind of charming.

More off-topic, but must be tamped down, it is so foolish and unreal.
Truly, you won't get ANY airline pilot on this board to agree, they ( and I ) will only laugh at this notion.
"Not hard at all", you say???
You have no clue. Only, it seems, what some fringe conspiracy website wishes to spout, and you just repeat without knowing any better.
This isn't the thread, but it is not a lie to say it is FAR, FAR more involved ot operate an autopilot than you seem to think.
Oh, and an autopilot making a takeoff??? LOL!!!
Show the video, please. BUT, it should have its own thread. Not here.
Where's your information that claims that remote control software can't steer a plane if loaded into the very system that steers the plane.

and there was a complete power-down the weekend just before the attacks. It's public record.
and getting remote control software programs loaded int the auto-pilot systems of those planes that morning.

The software in use on 9/11 was onlyv required to wrest control away from the pilot...

Last off topic response.
My "information", as you say, comes from experience.
Because I have thousands of hours in the same type Boeings used on 9/11. I know how the autoflight systems work. I know what they CAN and CANNOT do.

If it was that easy why do professional demolition contractors not use that method - it does not work! You have watched too many movies. Real life is not like the movies. And why were there no remains of these so called C4 blasting packs found?
and there was a complete power-down the weekend just before the attacks. It's public record.
Oh dear, another conspiracy lie. Care to show this public record? Only one person, Scott Forbes, claims there was a powerdown of floors above 50 of the South Tower. However, there is evidence that people were allowed onto the observation deck during this power down, and no other evidence of a power down!
and getting remote control software programs loaded int the auto-pilot systems of those planes that morning.
and just where did this "remote control software" fit in the autopilots, and how was it linked to a radio somehow?
just when you thought the conspiracy theories were as silly as they get, along comes a new one!!
The software had been operational since the mid-80s,
So show us at the Boeing site where it mentions remote controlled autopilots!
and there is video of the take-offs and landings with this kind of software being used as part of the auto-pilot systems back then.
then you will be able to show us these videos!

Your loss. You're new around here.
Take a gander at some of my work, on other threads.
My bona fides are not in question. Yours, however, are in doubt.

9-11 crash victim Barbara Olson arrested in Europe
Tom Flocco.com – September 22, 2005
French and American intelligence agents have arrested Barbara Olson, the wife of a former Bush administration official, a few days ago on the Polish-Austrian border, according to agents close to and with knowledge of the incident.
The alleged 9.11 Pentagon crash victim was found to be in possession of millions in fake interbank Italian lyra currency, according to the agents.
Olson's arrest and potential appearance at trial in the United States would undoubtedly have a profound impact upon current "Able Danger" hearings in the Senate and past probes by both the Joint Congressional Intelligence Committee and the 9.11 Commission.

Tom Flocco Now Thoroughly Discredited - September 23, 2005
With many thanks to the reader who pointed out the following discrepancies which more or less confirm Tom Flocco's status as a prime disinformation agent.
We've had our suspicions for some time but the following proves them quite conclusively. First off, Poland and Austria do not share a common border, yours truly should have picked that up immediately but geography was never a strong point at school. Likewise the Italian lyra is no longer tenable currency, it ceased to be legal tender on February 28, 2002. Which makes claims about fake lyra currency all the more improbable along with everything else claimed by the recent guest on Jeff Rense's internet radio show.
Moreover, a reader has just informed us that location of events reported on Flocco's website has now changed. From being the Austrian Polish border, as originally reported, it's now moved to the Polish German border, which actually exists. Seems like Flocco got wind of his mistake and is now trying to recover his tattered credibility.

Even by dopey Truther website standards this is more obvious than usual invented disinformation BS.
Note to members. Because some mental defective typed it and put it online doesn't make something true. Check odd sources and use basic common sense

Also, how many pictures did they actually take and release of the crash site? You'd think with such an important event, there would be a ton of pictures being taken. Was the film or the memory cards too expensive? And was the person who took these photos blind? Let's face it, a two year old sitting in a baby stroller could have done a better job.

It would be nice to see a reconstruction of the aircraft which allegedly crashed into the Pentagon. But then again, you cannot reconstruct an airplane that allegedly disintegrates or vaporizes (take your pick) into thin air.

Now, youngster. Consider this fact.
A Boeing 757 actually has THREE jet turbine "engines" installed. The 'third' is called an 'APU'....it provides no thrust for flight, it is, as the initials stand for, an "Auxiliary Power Unit", so it provides electrics and pneumatics when the two main engines are not operating. ALSO, it can supplement the two main engines in flight, if needed.
