Yes, me. I assume that I fit the description of "half-way intelligent
Ok, so where's the proof that any of those 19 hijackers committed the attacks, since at least 4 or 5 of them are still alive and were not in the US at the time?
Oh and BTW, how did a pilot who could barely take off in a Cessna, who was denied permission to rent a single prop plane because according to the flight instructors who went with him to sign off on his flight skills "he could not fly at all", perform a feat that not even the best pilots on earth could achieve, and that is descend with the nose level at tree top level in a 757 WHILE picking up speed to over 500 mph?
I'm referring to the Pentagon attack in case you didn't know. It is impossible to descend in a 757 (or practically any other large winged aircraft) while travelling at such a speed WITHOUT pointing the nose down, yet the aircraft which impacted the Pentagon did so while the nose was perfectly level, otherwise the nose would have impacted the lawn or at least the wall at a downwards angle, and would NOT have FLOWN through the Pentagon at ground level damaging everything in its way as it travelled perfectly horizontal through several rings of the building.
Also, an aircraft that is picking up speed CLIMBS if the nose is level, ESPECIALLY if it is in "ground effect", where turbulence between the ground and the wings increases lift. Ground effect would begin at 65 ft off the ground, yet we are to believe that this 757 piloted by one who could NOT fly a simple single engine aircraft performed the impossible and found a way to descend to ground level WHILE accelerating and keeping the nose level, with the engines 3 FEET off the ground at 500+ mph, all without even kissing the lawn with the engines or wingtips.
I actually know someone who saw the Pentagon crash (from a window in the Pentagon Navy Annex about a quarter-mile up the road). The plane came so close to the Annex that at first they thought it might touch that building itself, and then it headed straight for the center of the wall of the Pentagon, evidently using its thrusters to maximize speed.
The usual explanation is that these hijackers may not have known how to take off or land a plane or communicate with a control tower or handle a hundred other regular pilot tasks, but they did know how to steer the plane once it was aloft and to crash the plane into a target building. As was pointed out at the time, you could practice this on the computer game "Flight Simulator", using the WTC as a target. The fact that they used the identities of other Arabs in order to get into this country only underscores their criminal intent.
