"This is the FAA accident report for the mid-air collision in Florida one year prior to the 9/11/01 attacks on the WTC and Pentagon (and PA).

I brought this up in the week of 9/11/01, but this story was apparently "lost" in the news at the time. There were subsequent articles on this topic, and where FReepers can still find them, they should be appended onto posts on this thread.

Some important points to consider:
the Saudi national who piloted his aircraft into the Piper Aztec commercial flight had received his pilot's license from the Phillipines
Early blogs at the time noted that the Saudi pilot was Mohamed Atta or Alhazmi's roommate (this point needs to be confirmed)
This was a 9/11 attack...9/11 of 2000, not 2001"

Truthfully, that sounds more like a stupid pilot than something deliberate.  You know, "never attribute to malice, that which is adequately explained by human stupidity".

It certainly sounds more like stupidity than malice.

[Genesis]

Or just being stupid, for the sake of being stupid.

Fresher news is a cunt by the name of 'jihadi john', some english raghead convert thats busy beheading and slitting the throats of captured aid worker hostages and demanding, basically, that US and UK fuck off out of the iraqi/syrian 'caliphate' declared by ISIS.

He has done several youtube videos showing the beheadings of these captured aid workers, and stirred up one hell of a hornets nest of fury and indignation amongst the brits and yanks. I seriously think jihadi john's days are numbered. Obama has called him a dead man walking. I'm inclined to agree. I'll be glad to see the day when some special forces team bushwhack him in his sleep and raise up his head on a spike.

Apparently today is now being called "Patriot Day".

[Calandale]

I like to think of it as World Terrorism Day

Mohammid Atta go and shag a greasy pig, taking it up it's  shit-covered arsehole.

[odeon]

Well, I flew today. It still feels a bit weird to board a plane on this particular date.

Happy Death Day.

It wasn't mentioned here but it was on my mind.
