I had a long conversation today with Max Fraser, an independent documentary filmmaker in Whitehorse, that has left me stunned.

He has performed an impressive feat of investigatory work in the research for his documentary, "Never Happen Here: The Whitehorse 9/11 Story." ...

...As part of his research, Fraser has uncovered strong evidence that contradicts official claims and statements about what happened after a Korean Airlines 747 bound for Anchorage inexplicably sent out a text message saying it was hijacked.

No one has ever explained why the text message "HJK" was sent by the pilot. Fraser does not dispute that message. It remains unexplained. He said he was stonewalled by Korean Airlines, which refused to comment on the matter.

The text message was cited, in testimony to the Alaska Legislature in 2002 by Gen. Norton Schwartz, now the head of the U.S. Air Force, as the first sign that the plane may have been hijacked.

Schwartz went on to say that the second sign was that the plane was sending out the 7500 squawk code, which is a distress call that the plane has been hijacked.

...

The film and the controller say that the Federal Aviation Administration actually gave the order for the Korean jet to transmit the electronic signal that it was being hijacked. This was a foolhardy thing to do when armed F-15s are following the jet, thinking that it might be controlled by hijackers.

Fraser obtained FAA documents that show the agency ordered the jet to send the distress call. He also has transcripts of statements by Whitehorse RCMP officials who said the pilot told them he was ordered by the FAA to make the distress call.

This is an alarming piece of evidence because it put the lives of innocent people at risk. The nation was in a panic mode that day. A lot of things happened that probably would not have happened under normal circumstances.

Rick Wilder, a retired pilot and air traffic controller who was working in Anchorage that day, said the "worst thing I've ever had to do" was to issue the order to the Korean jet to issue the 7500 squawk code. He said it made no sense that day and it makes no sense now.


...

"The 7500 squawk was the hijack code," Wilder said. "A supervisor came down and said we need to have the Korean Air squawk 7500."

"I didn't really think it was the right thing to do," he said. "So they actually left and regroup and talked about it. I had my opinions of why it wasn't, but then later I was ordered to do it."...

...Here is a video of Townsend's interview with the controller that was shown after the documentary. He does not appear in the documentary. Wilder did contact Fraser after he first saw the film and let him know about it being the worst action that he had to take in his working life.

Why did all four hijacked planes on 9/11 take long detours? How did the hijackers know about “radar holes”? How could they conduct key hijacking events simultaneously all within 10 minutes? Who controlled the planes?

Let's compare that to the planes that actuallty "were" hijacked/crashed.
None of them sent the 7500 squawk, even though it'd be protocol and only take a few seconds... All of those crews failed at the simplest of their duties in a hijacking scenario, yet the hijackers were able to pull off multiple hail mary passes and a miracle simultaneously?

There should be a national discussion and a formal investigation about the FAA order. Was this a case of miscommunication during a moment of national crisis? If so, why not admit it?

My contention is you have no idea and are simply parroting some idiotic nonsense......

Come on show us you are not a "mommy's basement commando" .......
