Conspiracyyyyyy

No no, they escorted them to a secret runway. The govt then unloaded the pax (and disposed of them...), then loaded the plane with explosives, added an unmanned guidance package, took it off and flew it into the pentagon/towers.

Hold on, there are some black helicopters circling my house!

(This is an actual conspiracy theory that's floating around out there

Definitely sounds more realistic! I still wonder why Bush never got up from that chair....

I'm so sorry this seems boring Mr. DC-9, unfortunately the world does not revolve around your antique twin jet.... However, I hear that USA Jet has a few openings. Congratulations, you will most likely fill all the requirements. Good Day...

On top of that they were going to take down an airliner full of civilians...pretty overwhelming. Even most of the first SOF operators on the ground in theater had weeks to get organized, contemplate what they were getting into and see their families. And the SOF guys were doing the job they had trained to do, against an enemy they had trained for.
