sellainen on kannattaisi tutustua tosiasioihin ennenkuin lähtee levittelemään omia uskomuksiaan. Alla oleva oikeastaan murskaa kaiken hänen jaarittelunsa.


Although the investigation is still ongoing into what methods the hijackers employed to navigate and direct the aircraft toward their target, the following information is offered in regard to this analysis.

Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft are outfitted with highly capable flight management systems and auto pilot features. Knowledge of these systems could be gained through simulator training, readily available operational manuals, and, perhaps, PC-based simulator software. Information from the flight recorder recovered from Flight 77 indicated that the pilot had input auto-pilot instructions for a route to Reagan National Airport.

It should be noted that the Flight Management Computer could be programmed in such a manner that it would navigate the aircraft automatically to a locationof the hijackers’ choosing, not merely a commercial airport, at a speed and altitude they desired, provided the hijackers possessed the precise positioning data necessary. By using sequenced waypoints dialed into the computer, the hijackers could also approach the target from the direction they wanted.

Financial records indicate that one of the hijackers had purchased a global positioning system perhaps for the purpose of acquiring precise positioning data on al Qaeda’s 9/11targets. They had also purchased a Boeing flight deck video and flight simulator software program. Flight manuals were also found among their belongings.

The Commission continues to acquire and analyze data on pilot training, operational requirements, flight information, and other relevant evidence that will provide the most informed theory of what means the hijackers used to fly the aircraft to their targets.

Whether the hijackers flew the aircraft manually, engaged the flight managementcomputer to take them to a programmed destination, or employed some combination of the two, experts consulted by the Commissionbelieve it quite credible that, given the certificates held by the hijackers, the training and educational opportunities available to them through publicly available flight operations manuals and computer-based flight training software, the hijackers—particularly Atta, Hanjour, and al Shehhi—had the know-how to complete the mission.

On ne niin pihalla!!!
