Re: I know the story of the hijacking of four airliners by people who could hardly fly is both tenuous and suspect, likewise that of the Arabs who allegedly did it and are alive afterwards.
Well, actually I was exaggerating when I said that I've dismissed the "hijacked-turned-suicide airliners" story altogether. I still cling to what I said below --the hijacking of airliners was merely a "subplot" hatched by Cheney and his 911 accomplices to turn the "nuking down" of WTC into an Islamic attack:
When all four airliners were hijacked by some Tajik(Arab?) patsies, Cheney --temporarily vested with Presidential authority-- ordered USAF fighters to shoot down all four hijacked airliners --lest they should be used as flying bombs against US targets/cities.
Thereafter, Cheney set in motion the aforementioned subplot: four bombs were detonated at four high-profile targets that will later be pictured as the terrorists' targets....
Of course, since these targets were never hit by anything but rather "bombed inside out", doctored footages of the action, the gagging of eyewitnesses, and a news blackout were implemented. The Pentagon was an easy matter to deal with since all military personnel are already bound by duty to shut up. But the WTC was a thorny one: civilian lawsuits and rumor would reveal what really happened --hence the need to collapse both towers (and WTC-7) to dispell embarrassing witnesses and THE LACK of evidence, that is, the lack of aircraft debris.
At that point, the 911 conspirators were left with two separate story lines: the hijacked airliners that were duly "intercepted" by the USAF, and the "simultaneous" bombings in NY and Washington.... It was just a matter of meshing it all together... All Cheney had to do was to round off the corners so as to squeeze the peg of the hijacked airliners into the round hole of the bombing of NY/Wash. But then, what other story/scenario could have reasonably been told to the American people? The hijacked airliners HAD TO have been used as suicide flying bombs..... QED

I believe the timeline of 911 is as follows:
1) Conventional explosives (mixed with kerosene or magnesium?) are detonated in two WTC offices --one in each tower.
2) The whole terrorist attack could have been stopped at THAT point: two big, fuming, gaping holes in the very symbols of the US's economic might, namely, Wall Street's WTC twin towers. It would have been a routine job for the FBI to go after Mohammed Atta and his fellow patsies, arrest them and frame them, not as "suicide hijackers" but rather merely as "terrorist bombers"....
Well, I guess the 911 masterminds thought that such a run-of-the-mill, garden-variety, terrorist bombing wouldn't do the trick --that is, it wouldn't be enough to draw US public opinion into supporting an all-out war in Afghanistan first and Iraq next.... After all, the 911 masterminds were also responsible for the outrageous bombing of two US embassies in Nairobi and Dar es-Salaam on August 7, 1998 (270+ dead) --only to watch their bloody scheme turning up a dud when President Clinton settled the score with a few cruise missiles fired at Bin Laden's Afghan lair... This time around, they made sure the US's response would not disappoint them. Something more outrageous, more spectacular was called for to stir up America BIG TIME... The utter and complete collapse of the WTC --coupled with an ancillary strike on the Pentagon-- will do the trick!
3) But now, our 911 wirepullers have another problem: what plausible, sensible contrivance could account for the utter collapse of two behemoths of concrete and iron such as the WTC twin towers? Enter the "hijacked airliners" gimmick: ugly Arab terrorists have hijacked several airliners on a suicide/martyr mission to crash them into symbols of US imperialism and Bob's your uncle! Let the metallurgical engineers, the materials experts and other nerds debate endlessly among themselves about the I-beam stress capacity, the melting point of steel and the heat energy of kerosene... Joe SixPack doesn't give a rap about it anyway! Joe SixPack will get his vengeful war instead, his holy crusade against ugly Muslims....
