: HOW?

: I have been listening all day, I was on this board when it happened, and talked about the events with people here this morning, but I don't understand how this is suposedly so sophisticated?

: Highly coordinated?

: I am sure I am missing some detials but they never say WHY it is so complex of a plan, so sophisticed, so impossible for amatuers to do...

: 4 planes got hijacked at roughly the same time, and then the flights were directed to two very very very large targets. This we know. 1 didn't hit its target.

: How is that sooo expensive and sophisticated? It sounds like they media is just trying ot make us feel like its REALLY super hard to do.

: We also don't know if there may have been 20 terrorists in the sky, and only 4 of them actually went through with it. That is possible. There could be countless scenerios.

: I mean in colombine, the two 17 year olds had bombs timed to go off to set a diversion, and systematically killed, they had all kinds of plans. Surely those two 17 year olds werent accused of being highly sophisticated. They just had a plan.

: I just don't get it. They never say WHY this plan is so tough to pull off.

: I am not making ANY commmentary or assumptions, I just feel like they aren't backing up what they are saying, all day.

: If three of my buddies and I all got different flights with 10 minutes of each other, and both tried to get wacky on the plane, and we all were pilots so we could steer a plane if we needed to, I am SURE I wouldnt need more than 800 bucks, and some mighty screwed up minds. How many times was this plan aborted? How many other planned attempts went wrong? How many were really involved? It just doesn't seem that complex. 4 crazy people could do it with sychronized watches, plane tickets and a bad idea.

: Again, no commentary, just seems like the plan is overblown to me.
