At least six air traffic controllers who dealt with two of the hijacked airliners on Sept. 11, 2001, made a tape recording that day describing the events, but the tape was destroyed by a supervisor without anyone making a transcript or even listening to it, the Transportation Department said today. The taping began before noon on Sept. 11 at the New York Air Route Traffic Control Center, in Ronkonkoma, on Long Island, but it was later destroyed by an F.A.A. quality-assurance manager, who crushed the cassette in his hand, cut the tape into little pieces and dropped them in different trash cans around the building, according to a report made public today by the inspector general of the Transportation Department.

The Hijackers could have forced h plot to set the flight path and fly the jet to their doom. Sadly this is the best we to achieve your mission as it reduces the risk due to your own ineptitude.
The last part in bold is what strikes me as crazy. This guy was able to maneuver the plane like this?
he reported that the passengers, including the pilots, had been moved to the back of the cabin and that the hijackers were unaware of her call. A minute into the conversation, the call was cut off.
An airplane was detected again by Dulles controllers on radar screens as it approached Washington, turning and descending rapidly. Controllers initially thought this was a military fighter, due to its high speed and maneuvering

The September 11, 2001 attack saw the largest failure to protect the civilian population from attack in the nation's history. This failure is stunning given the awesome capabilities of the nation's air defense network.
General Richard Myers was acting head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on 9/11/01. He stated that he went into a meeting after the first tower was hit, and stayed there until just after the Pentagon was hit. Apparently his meeting with Senator Cleland was more important than the ongoing attack on the nation. Two days after the attack, Myers was asked some softball questions by the Senate Armed Services Committee, and promoted to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
General Ralph Eberhart was in charge of NORAD on 9/11/01. NORAD's Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center maintains up-to-the-second monitoring of airspace over the entire nation. It would have easily tracked the unfolding attack from 8:20, when Flight 11 went off course, to 10:06, when Flight 93 crashed. Instead of dispatching interceptors from bases near the targets, or calling for intercepts from multiple bases, it chose a few far-away bases. Eberhart was promoted to head the new "Northern Command" established in October of 2002.

I haven't posted on here in a while because frankly the ignorance of some people got very tiring.
1: You read a book written after the fact. And just what has come of the supposed facts of this book? Nothing. It's a book. It's not testimony.
2: The money was unaccounted for long before 2001. It has been explained ad nauseam time and time again. Read it and think of what computers you were using 16 years ago.
3: They always say the Pentagon. They never say the WTC paths were impossible. So if two out of three are not disputed then maybe something is wrong with Pentagon simulator story. Remember the truth has a short shelf life on the internet. But lies on the internet never die.
Better still take a demo flight on a Cessna where you get to fly the plane. Take offs and flying is easy for anyone.
No one better to do it I just find it suspicious they were at this convenient store within MINUTES to do so.
4.Who better than the FBI to seize all possible evidence before it is rewritten or should written over by the next days camera recording. You forget that back in the day they rewound the tape and used it the next day or until they get robbed and the cops seize the tape.
5.You assume such tape exists. Ask yourself when is the best time to reconnect all the cameras after a major reconstruction takes place? Hint: You wait until all the heavy equipment is gone from the site or else the crews are going to damage the cameras.

On the contrary, there are plenty of people saying the same thing about the towers.
