Doesn't it strike you that the White House was the primary target. Now how can you expect the highjackers to find such a small building from a jet liner. Have you ever been looking from the pilots window on such a plane ? If one want to aim at such a building with such a heavy plane, it'll have to turn its back to it for a good half a dozen miles, rely for his navigation on instruments that are IFR, do some math, etc. But the plane, as it has been documented circled around, above Washington, and circling above is not the way to do it, unless on a small Cessna 150, and a lot of "dive knowledge" they don't teach in flying schools.... "lot of "dive knowledge" they don't teach in flying schools" , it doesn't invalidate my "low-intensity" scenario. As a former pilot himself, Egypt's President Hosni Mubarrak was first to point out (on CNN) the highly professional manner in which the Pentagon hit was executed. But then again, suppose you train a kid to be a topnotch hacker... So you teach him all the tricks and provide him with the software to crack the access codes say, of Citibank. Then, at the end of your hacking seminar you advise him to keep his cyber-robberies "low-key"... and you show him how fun it'll be for him to anonymously collect $1,000 every month --so that the bank's audit sleuths don't notice anything. And guess what... one month later, you buy your newspaper and bang: headline runs "Hacker ripped off $10,000,000 from Citibank". Bottom line: it was to be expected since the computer procedure to steal $10,000,000 is exactly the same one as to steal $1,000.
