How close do you think we are to WWIII?

I don't know about WW3 but considering what happened on 9/11 and our open borders, and the ease and success that drug cartels have with importing and distributing poison across America, I think we may be on the cusp of some bad stuff.

I personally don't think that 3rd airplane that crashed into the pentagon was intended for the pentagon, and we can probably guess where that 4th plane was intended to hit.

@Heartlander I heard that the 4th plane was intended NOT for the White House, as some thought...but for CONGRESS.

@4meAndyou Yes, one was intended for Congress and the other for the white house but hit the pentagon instead. And of course we will never know if there were others where the terrorist backed out at the last moment.

@Heartlander Was there a fourth plane? Where do you think the 3rd plane was intended to hit?
Heartlander · 80-89, M
@sree251 two hit world trade, one hit the pentagon and another crashed in PA.. My belief is that those last 2 were intended for the capital building and the white house.

Sounds right. I still have difficulty believing that the stunt was pulled off by disgruntled Arabs. Those poor guys have been at the receiving end of US foreign policy in the Middle East since the end of WW2,and we are still pounding them.

@sree251 that took considerable planning and awareness of airline crew practices. Much more to it than learning how to take off and land a 767. My insights come from once being both an airline pilot and flight attendant instructor. One thing I can’t resolve in my mind is 4 aircraft without deadheading or commuting crew members either as passengers or in the cockpit jumpseats.

Considerable planning and awareness are not characteristics of the Arab mind. Arabs have always been the victims of our schemes.

Your insights are useful in this discussion. The narrative we are asked to swallow is that it is possible for anyone to commandeer a commercial jet like a fighter pilot after a few weeks of flying lessons at a ricky dink rural airfield. An aircraft is not a car with four wheels running on solid ground. It is a kite sailing thru turbulent air. There are commentators who claimed that flying is that easy. I don't believe that. What do you say? Flight AA 11 and UA 175 were pretty far from Manhattan when they were supposedly hijacked, turned around, and flown back towards New York City. Were the pilots forced at gunpoint to fly into the World Trade Center buildings? If you were the pilot, could you be forced into doing that?

What do you mean here? Can you explain?
