21. There is a difference between
take off, landings and flying. There is no evidence they didn't have the skill to fly the airliner once it was in the air.

"Despite Hanjour's poor reviews, he did have some ability as a pilot, said Bernard of Freeway Airport. "There's no doubt in my mind that once that got going, he could have pointed that plane at a building and hit it," he said"

Conspiracy sites are purposely leaving things like this out. They are quick to point out any quote which they take out of context in order to push their agenda. I ask, why don't they mention this?

The comments of Arabs somehow being to dumb to pull this off shouldn't even be on a liberal forum. Arabs are just as intelligent as everyone else. Especially the hijackers and Osama. Many of the hijackers are college grads and Osama has a civil engineering degree. How many here have a degree in civil engineering or anything else for that matter. If you do you know it's not pee and shake. They also weren't in a cave. They were here.

Anyone who's flown a flight sim game knows it's not that hard to learn the instruments. There are kids who know every dial and screen on a 767. If you think it's that hard to learn buy Microsoft flight sim and put the 767 add on. Sure it's not the same thing but the instruments are the same. They only needed to know how to turn off the transponder, some VOR skill and point the plane. It may look impossible to a laymen but it isn't.

There is a pilot who says it's impossible but he also says planes never hit any of the buildings. Nonsense. My brother in-law saw the second plane hit from the roof top of his apartment building in lower Manhattan. He was just one of what must have been tens of thousands. He was close enough he swears he saw he building sway.

I remember seeing a show about jet fuel fires where they crashed a plane in the desert by remote control to see if this new fuel would burn on impact. One of the reasons the test failed was this veteran pilot had trouble pointing the plane. If anything it's much harder for a veteran pilot to remote control an airliner than it would be for a poor pilot to point it into a building.

As for doing my own thinking, I'm not the one repeating conspiracy site propaganda verbatum. There are only a few debunking sites on the internet and I have one of them. I dug deep into this before I concluded anything. I see you haven't because your arguments have been told to me by many and are easily refuted by just a small google search. Out of the hundreds of conspiracy sites they all seem to be carbon copies of the other. Others are grasping for the slightest bit of information they can twist. Learn both sides and make up your own mind as I have. I have shown you conspiracy sites only give you half the story.
