Apparently, the Dulles flight circled for awhile before crashing. Time enough for Barbara Olsen (a frequent speaker on FOX during the last election) to phone her husband using a cell phone. She stated that the hijackers had knives.

I doubt the terrorists were the original pilots. More likely, they were trained to be able to fly the aircraft once it was in the air. They probably had to rely on the original crews to take the planes close enough to see their targets; navigation is a very tricky thing. Likely, the original pilots had no idea that the hijackers were crazy enough to want to crash the planes.

I believe it will come out that the pilots of the 4th plane were probably heroes. They may have heard of the previous planes fates on the radio, and decided to save lives by driving their plane into the ground before they got to their attempted target.

God save us all.

I just learned that Sunw had sales offices located in the North tower. This is their posted address:

New York

2 World Trade Center
25th Floor
New York, NY 10048
United States
Telephone: 1-212-558-9200

Let's hope that all the sales people were able to escape.
