I'm pretty sure now they at least allowed 9/11 to happen.

People that fuck goats didn't go from flying Cessnas to jumping in a commercial jet in a high stress situation with no knowledge of modern avionics and manage to navigate their way mid air into a target hardly bigger than the wing span.

The purported guys couldn't even fly Cessnas. They were visiting the CIA flying school to "get noticed", not to learn how to fly.

Um, flying a commercial jet really is not that hard. At least not basic maneuvers like that, anyway.

There was nothing "basic" about the maneuvers the passenger jets performed that morning.

What are you talking about how do you know that? I heard those things aren't hard to steer around it's landing them in adverse conditions that means you're a good pilot.

Remember that kid a few years after who stole the small plane and they chased and talked to him on the radio till he signed off. He called himself the sky king or something. He was doing barrel rolls and stuff until he decided to put it down into the ground.

Right. Taking one over mid flight and navigating it to hit something the size of the wingspan is easy stuff too huh?
