| 75. So let me see if I get this..... |
|
At a cruising altitude of somewhere between 25 and 45,000 feet, terrorists are going to use a shoe bomb to blow up a door which is supposed to withstand a direct hit by a hand grenade. Meanwhile, the federal air marshall(s) on board, remain calmly in their seats, and the 200 or so passengers all of whom know about 9/11 also remain calm.
After all this goes down, the terrorists who have just blown down the door, and most likely caused a sudden depressurization (they have less than 30 seconds to live without supp. oxygen), begin to fly the aircraft (I hope it's not the guy who just blew himself up with the shoe bomb) which probably has no hydraulic control after the bomb (meaning they can't steer) and try to hit a building on the west coast.
I see absolutely no flaws in that plan.
I KNOW that these "terrorist organizations" are smarter than this.
Lies. Lies. Lies.
