So who piloted the hijacked 9/11 planes?

The alleged hijackers didn't have the experience or talent required to do it. So who did it? If they were remote-controlled, who was operating the controls?

They weren't landing or taking off (the hard parts!). They were steering. I think one could be trained to do that.

A few hours in a flight simulator and you are good to go for steering. A kid in a pilot's lap could probably do the same.

isn't that easy, and thee of the four were able to do it.

I think it's probably reasonable to conclude that the pilots were talented, and had skills, and attending the flight schools was a cover to hide the fact that the people who really did it probably had extensive military experience and very coordinated training. That's just a guess.

on the Pentagon lawn like a seasoned tailhooker. I'm not in the 'missile hit the Pentagon' camp, but I still find it suspect that some flight school dropout makes a maneuver of that precision.

7 of the 19 hijackers seem to be alive.

he concludes the 9/11 investigation. Clap your hands if you believe...

They were trained in american flight schools.

They were terrible at the flight schools. Two were described as "dumb and dumber".

To turn any alieron aircraft requires to bank and use the elevator to turn. If you don't snap the wing root you have made the turn. It's simple and any six Y/O could do it. Landing is hard but aiming a flying craft is as simple as a video game.

MIHOP is complete and total BS...any person with an IQ above 100 can aim and fly an able craft.

?

whether it was LIHOP or MIHOP (though I lean away from that, I don't think the neocons are that insane although that could be wishful thinking) but it is without a doubt NOT an easy thing to aim a commercial airliner at a small target - I could maybe accept amateurs hitting the WTC but at the speeds the plane was travelling at to be able to hit a five story building is really difficult, a centimetre or so off would have put them out.

It's asking me to make far to big a leap to accept that a amateur with only minimal simulator training managed to pull this off. Completely incredible.

Making a hard bank at 400-500-mph(South Tower) is not an easy task from what I understand.

From the www.cooperativeresearch.org timeline on 9/11:

(6:30 a.m.) Lt. Col. Dawne Deskins and other NORAD employees at NEADS (NORAD's Northeast Air Defense Sector that covers the Washington and New York areas) are starting their work day. NORAD is unusually prepared on 9/11, because it is conducting a week-long semiannual exercise called Vigilant Guardian. NORAD is thus fully staffed and alert, and senior officers are manning stations throughout the US. The entire chain of command is in place and ready when the first hijacking is reported. An article later says, "In retrospect, the exercise would prove to be a serendipitous enabler of a rapid military response to terrorist attacks on Sept. 11." ABC News later reports that because NORAD is "conducting training exercises therefore extra fighter planes on alert." Colonel Robert Marr, in charge of NEADS, says, "We had the fighters with a little more gas on board. A few more weapons on board." The exercise poses "an imaginary crisis to North American Air Defense outposts nationwide." Accounts by participants vary on if 9/11 was the second, third, or fourth day of the exercise. Since NORAD was in peak form, isn't the incredible slowness of its response times on 9/11 even more inexplicable?

"NORAD is unusually prepared on 9/11, because it is conducting a week-long semiannual exercise called Vigilant Guardian."

There's the plausible deniability. The "attacks" could have come any day during that "exercise" week. Only a very few people probably knew exactly WHICH day the "attacks" would occur; but in hindsight, 9-11 was the most obviously likely day (because of its importance as an anniversary date for so many curious events).

Do have any evidence on this front? Do we even have any evidence showing who was on the planes? All we have seen is pictures of Atta at an airport. What about the rest? How many of them were on those flights?

The FBI has told us what we are supposed to believe.
The same FBI that ignored the Colleen Rowley memo.

Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) seized on the Rowley memo as proof that an independent commission was needed to investigate the FBI, despite vigorous opposition to such an inquiry from the White House. Daschle said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney personally lobbied him in January "not to investigate the events of Sept. 11."

So who piloted the hijacked 9/11 planes?

the official story is total bullshit ..

My guess is that the planes were piloted by experienced professional airline pilots who wouldn't dream of endangering their aircraft or the lives of their passengers or themselves.

Their aircraft were commandeered by events outside their control. Although the Official Story proffered the ridiculous theory of 'arab hijackers' this is just too implausible to be contemplated. Some other way was used to commandeer the aircraft. We don't quite yet know what it was.

As for airliners being flown into buildings, please! We saw videos of such things paraded on our television sets, but I don't think they were genuine planes, at least not genuine airliners. Has anyone seen a certificate of authenticity for even one of these videos? Where did they come from? The spooks' works? Probably. Too important to leave such a vital thing to mere chance.

The thing that gave away the hoax was that they didn't nominate OBL as best foreign director / producer at one of the many film & televison awards. No Oscars for Osama! Yet it was very fine television.

I am utterly sickened by the murders of over 2.500 people that day by complete psychopaths. The same psychopaths who continued their crimes against humanity in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Some people argue that they were military planes. Can commercial planes make quick, sharp turns like the ones made on 9/11?

Those weren't particularly sharp turns. Military planes can turn a LOT faster.

It's just like driving a bumper car in three dimensions. Little kids can successfully drive bumper cars in two dimensions. It does take much to learn pull back for up, push forward for down.
