Does it? Doesn't it take no more than a handful of persons who have made
up their mind to die in order to get this done? It takes only one who
can
fly a plane (which is not too hard once it is ariborne, or so I have
been
told), for each plane(*), and enough help to take over the plane. This
is
not in itself a massive operation?

Even the coordination wouldn't be ridiculously hard... And that's the
scariest thing about this all, to me. How do you stand any chance of
stopping this kind of attack?

It's one hell of a wake up call to a cold, scary world.

Even when you're half a world away from the actual catastrophe.

Derk.

(*) I do not believe the regular crew could be forced into flying their
plane into the towers.
