I think it was determined the sounds cuts off but he was saying "Lets roll this cart" presumably as part of a plan to use a drink cart as a makeshift weapon/battering ram.

Oh and I'm obviously not a pilot, but I assume its probably not difficult to get one of those big rear end planes into an unrecoverable dive/spin pretty quick if you're worried about losing control of the plane and you're already fully committed to dying in a plane crash.

This is literally where the phrase "death spiral" comes from

What if they stopped the hijackers because they didn't like their chosen target? "gently caress that, LET'S ROLL this plane into something else!"

This actually reveals how Jesus was part of spreading the message of Islam to Japan. The crucifixion and resurrection are a core part of most forms of Christianity, but Jesus as a prophet who had a replacement on the cross fits better with Islam in general from what I understand.

Yup. Pull one of those out of its flight envelope and you'd need to be an actual trained pilot to have any hope of getting it flying level again

And even then you might not make it (cf. Aeroflot 593, pilot lets his 15yo son drive for a bit, son pulls on the controls enough to disable autopilot and put the plane into an unrecoverable dive)

To say nothing of trained pilots that, for one reason or another, put their plane into that situation and, despite their training, cannot pull out of it.

I think it's the product of disappearing into studying this stuff for however many years, right? He's the one who got Epstein's black book, and had it published. So I think he's got an idea of all of this stuff, his takes on Watergate are inline with the revisionist scholarship, it's just that how can you disappear into that sort of world and remain in touch with the mainstream?

that’s a good point I hadn’t considered. I’ll give this a listen with a more sympathetic ear. I’ve been trying to find more about his new book anyways. I’m really into watergate and nixon stuff in general

What's startling in hindsight is how much of an open secret 9/11 must have been. Anybody with a hint of skepticism in the know would have figured it out, down to congressional aides, low ranking officers, reporters from second rate newspapers, and they all just accepted it, business as usual. A clique within the ruling class just got to go hogwild and kill a few thousand citizens in a psyop, their turn with the ball.

It was common enough knowledge that the stock market was aware of it. A lot of people knew something was coming, and knew enough to make accurate stock market bets (though a lot of it could just have been people following the smart money once influential people made their bets).

The Art Student Ring will drive you crazy because the best case scenario is that Israel was just covertly operating in America for some reason.

German intelligence were also monitoring the Hamburg Cell when they were in Germany, and I don't think their files, or if they ever passed info along to the Americans, has ever been disclosed.

iirc the Germans broke into Atta's house and scanned all his IDs too, possibly did the same for the other members.

My post was ambiguous but I was more so speaking in terms of after 9/11. Absolutely it was a rumor before the incident, but afterwards when serious holes in the official story became apparent literally anyone even mildly informed would have had a rough idea of the truth short of extreme denial. The mass psychology of tolerating such an obscene and over the line power play is hard to wrap your head around.

Surface to air missiles aren't intended to hit a plane directly and blow it up like you'd see in video games, they're supposed to detonate near enough to the plane that shrapnel gets flung into it, which takes it out it just as surely. When the Soviets shot down Korean Airlines 007 after it overflew their airspace the plane spiralled into the sea relatively intact. Flight 93 being shot down and it having a tight wreckage pattern are not mutually exclusive.

Fighter pilots recall mission to take down Flight 93 on 9/11

/ CBS News

After two fighter pilots watched two planes hit the World Trade Center 20 years ago, they scrambled into their F-16s knowing that it might be their last mission.

The Air National Guard pilots, Lieutenant General Marc Sasseville and Heather Penney, had no time to spare. The country was under attack. They knew of at least one plane still in the sky that was flying low. It was United Flight 93.

"We knew immediately, as soon as we saw the images, that we needed to protect and defend," Penney said. "We understood what the threat was. We were looking for a rogue airliner, flying low, that was not communicating with air traffic control." 

Pre-flight checks usually take 20 minutes, Sasseville said. This time, he got into the cockpit and took off. The duo didn't have time to arm their jets with missiles to take down the plane if necessary.

"We don't train to 'take down' airliners. We never have," Sasseville said. "We didn't have any missiles and we didn't have combat loads of bullets. We were going to have to hit the airplane and disable it somehow."

Penney said neither of them had second thoughts about flying their F-16s into the plane. "As the military, we don't send our service members on suicide missions. But it was clear what needed to be done that morning," she said.

That order did not come through the chain of command — the pilots had taken it upon themselves. "We didn't have any other choice. And we weren't going to be caught on the ground watching America get hit again," Sasseville said.

What they didn't know was that the passengers and crew of Flight 93 fought back and drove the plane into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Sasseville said he thinks about that day every day. "Those on Flight 93 that paid the ultimate price, those are the real heroes," he said.

"Sass and I owe our lives to them," Penney added. "But that's also why, when I think of 9/11, instead of being overcome by the trauma and the horror and the tragedy, I'm actually overcome by hope. That the best of who we are was demonstrated on that day. So, in some ways, living my life as normally as possible is the biggest way that we can say that the terrorists did not win."
