Re: Very easily Gus. Air crew have been instructed over the past 30 years to COOPERATE with hijackers, to ostensibly prevent loss of life resulting from resistance. Strap a phony bomb around your torso, cry "take me to Havana" and away you go. There's no need for firearms. Boxcutters do quite nicely, after all. Well, I grant you that bluff can be pretty effective in hijacking a commercial airliner.... But hardcore hijackers want to take no chances so, they must factor in the possible rebellion of (co-)pilots, crewmembers and even passengers. If, after a row, both the pilot and the copilot are "out of service", then it's up to the hijackers to take the wheel. After all, the Ankara-Medina hijack shows us that crewmembers are not always that compliant... and what of the fourth airliner that was also hijacked on Sept. 11th --and crashed somewhere in Pennsylvania, allegedly because of the passengers' mutiny? Airliner hijacking is no breeze indeed.... Anyway, there're so many discrepancies in the official bin-laden conspiracy that to sort them all out calls for a full-time manpower of 10 (smart) people. For instance, here's a little quiz up to your sagacity, Derek: in his last video, Bin Laden hailed every one of the 19 hijackers who perpetrated 911, he counted them out country by country, branding them as praiseworthy martyrs ()--all right. Now, can you tell us, Derek, why Bin Laden forgot to mention the two suicide-bombers who killed Ahmad Shah Massoud --allegedly Bin Laden's Nemesis-- in his homily??* After all, those two fake Belgian journalists were instrumental in the disrupting of the Northern Alliance, were they not? Now, here's a tip to help you answer that $60,000 question... let's keep it between us though: rumor has it that Al-Jazeera's next video release will be a disclaimer of sorts... I mean, Bin Laden is expected to clearly deny any involvement in the assassination of his late arch-foe, Ahmad Shah Massoud --but hey, don't say boo! LOL! Gus (*) dailynews.yahoo.com
