Inexperienced Muslim hijackers, armed only with knives and box-cutters, took control of four airliners, then outfoxed the world’s most sophisticated air defense system, then used two of these airliners to bring three skyscrapers down (indeed, straight down, in virtual free fall), and then, almost an hour later - when the US air defense system would have been on highest alert - flew a third one, undetected, from the mid-west back to Washington DC, where – thanks to heroic piloting by a man who had never before flown an airliner and who was, according to the New York Times, known as a “terrible pilot,” incapable of safely flying even a tiny plane – this third airliner went through an extremely difficult trajectory (even too difficult for them, said some experienced airline pilots) in order to strike the first floor of the Pentagon – surely the most well-protected building on the planet – without scraping the Pentagon lawn.

The "pilots" didn't have to know - and didn't bother to learn - how to launch or land or refuel or communicate with aviation authorities, and only needed to steer these planes into three of the largest and most conspicuous buildings on the North American continent. Heck, during WW2, the British Air Force was able to train pigeons to guide bombs to their targets.

But damn, one of them had to fly back from Ohio (the one that hit the Pentagram), a distance of some considerable distance. And the guy had no idea what he was doing. It's bs. It's not like they took over the planes a mile out from the buildings, they had to actually FLY the things. And they couldn't even fly Cessnas.
Stop reading government fables and educate yourself. Clueless Super-Pilot None of the hijackers were good pilots. None had ever flown jets, let alone large commercial jetliners. Hani Hanjour, the person accused of flying Flight 77 into the Pentagon, was failing his courses at the Arizona flight school. According to an employee, "He didn't care about the fact that he couldn't get through the course." 1 Rick Garza, a flight instructor at Sorbi's Flying Club, had this to say about the two alleged hijackers originally thought to have piloted Flight 77, Khalid al-Mihdar and Nawaq al-Hamzi: "It was like Dumb and Dumber, I mean, they were clueless. It was clear they were never going to make it as pilots." In the second week of August 2001, Hanjour had attempted to rent a small plane from an airport in Bowie, MD. Flight instructors Sheri Baxter and Ben Conner declined his request, after taking Hanjour on three test runs, noting he had trouble controlling and landing the Cessna 172. Though Hanjour had attended a flight school in Scottsdale, AZ, for four months in 1996 and 1997, he never completed the coursework for a single-engine aircraft license. 2 It is doubtful that the best trained fighter pilots could have executed the maneuver that supposedly crashed a 757 into the Pentagon. It required making a tight 320-degree turn while descending seven thousand feet, then leveling out so as to fly low enough over the highway just west of the Pentagon to knock down lamp posts. After crossing the highway the pilot had to take the plane to within inches of the ground so as to crash into the Pentagon at the first-floor level and at such a shallow angle that an engine penetrated three rings of the building, while managing to avoid touching the lawn. And he had to do all of this while flying over 400 mph. Quite a feat for a flight school flunky who had never sat in the cockpit of a jet! Flight Routes The four planes commandeered on September 11th either flew to their targets from distant airports, or flew hundreds of miles away from their targets before turning around. There are three international airports within five minutes flying distance from the World Trade Center. Yet the hijackers selected Flights 11 and 175 originating from Boston, 40 minutes away. Flight 77 took off from Dulles, just a few miles from its alleged target, the Pentagon. Yet the hijackers waited almost until the plane reached Kentucky before taking it over. Flight 93 took off from Newark. If the hijackers had taken it over shortly after takeoff, they could have reached Washington in about 30 minutes. Instead they waited until it was near Cleveland, Ohio, before turning it around. Anyone planning such an attack could easily find out, with just a modicum of research on the web, that standard operating procedures would lead to interception by a fighter jet within about 20 minutes of any airliner hijacked in the northeast corridor. By choosing originating airports over one hundred miles from their targets in three of four cases, and waiting for nearly a half hour in all four cases before taking over the flights, the perpetrators exposed the entire plot to certain interruption had the air defense system operated normally. The only plausible explanation is that the perpetrators were aware that the air defense system would be stood down.
