I guess that is plausible. I'm sure they have a receipt for the GPS units in the FBI evidence bag. I guess that I keep coming back to the flight instructors that say the pilots were really bad. Hanjour, the pilot that crashed the Pentagon...he couldn't fly a Cessna, yet on his first time in the seat, he takes the stick of a 757 flys a beeline to Washington, does a 270 degree turn past the Pentagon and then swoops down a steep vertical curve for a perfect hit on the first floor wall. All I have to say is wow. If Vegas knew about the attempts that day what would have been the odds? What odds would you assign to it? The trifecta of four planes hijacked by inexperienced pilots who have never flown a commercial jet, three pin point impacts destroying an entire Pentagon sector and three steel frame buildings collapse in near perfect symmetry and only two of those are actually hit. And the US military would stand down and let it all happen. Perhaps they did shoot down the plane over Pennsylvania. If I would have been offered this scenario as a bet, I would have figured odds of about 100,000,000 to 1 of it being able to happen like that. Yet we are supposed to keep nodding our heads yes, yes, yes. Orca
