I think it is reasonable to be suspicious of that video, given that there are no indications at all of where or when the footage was taken.
But even so, supposing that the video is real, is it intellectually honest to commit to the idea that those guys took over an entire plane, and wrested control from pilots with combat experience, using BOX CUTTERS? I mean, it's hard to do damage to BOXES with boxes cutters, to say nothing of cowing an entire plane full of passengers into submission using them.
On this claim, like the others, I call bullshit.
you are using a post 911 mindset.
pre 911 hijackings were peaceful. The hijackers hijacked, landed somewhere and released the hostages after negotiations. no one got hurt, or at least very few got hurt.
No one had ever turned the hijacked plane into a missile and killed themselves and the hostages. It was just not done.
So the passengers had no clue - they thought they might be stuck onboard for a few days on a runway, but killed? IT HAD NEVER HAPPENED (to my knowledge). So they just sat there.
Now, when the hostages on the PA flight found out about the towers via cell phones, they DID RUSH THE COCKPIT.
Does this make any sense to you? or are the goblins whispering in your ear too loudly?
