The question that continually bothers me is 'if the intention pepertrators was as if towards some kind of coldly calculated end, why then would they never bother to tell us what that end was supposed to be?'

Or was that something about which the whole truth has not been revealed?

Did hijackers possibly fullfil a threat because an immediate demand was refused?

For the sake of imaginative argument, for instance, a hijacker may have demanded to speak to POTUS Bush or to meet face to face. Bush was due to be in Washington later that day.

On another hand if somebody like Hanjour was indeed piloting the B757 then yes, I would think it possible that his comprehension of the local topography was abysmally mistaken.

O'Brien, the pilot of the C130 said that "With all of the East Coast haze, I had a hard time picking him out."

How good then was the visibility of the ground from the B757 as it turned towards the sun?

Many have previously commented to the effect that Hanjour could not possibly have managed such a 'skilled maneuver'.

Seems reasonable to me then to ask what is so skilled about hitting five lamp poles.
