i'm reading a book called '9/11 revealed, challenging the facts behind the war on terror'. we've all seen the famous security picture of mohammad atta and an accomplice about to board a plane on the morning of sept. 11. what most people don't know is that the picture was taken at an airport in portland, maine, not boston - where the highjacking took place. atta and his accomplice, al-omari, took a connecting flight at 6:00 in the morning to go from portland, maine to boston, and then they got on flight 11 from boston. the question is, why would atta risk taking a connecting flight?? if, for whatever reason he doesn't make flight 11, the whole operation would fail. he was the ring leader of the whole operation. the other highjackers would be scared off if he didn't show up. what if the plane was delayed for some reason?? what if they didn't make it through security(atta's name was on a security watch list)?? what if the flight was cancelled?? why take a chance like that?? it would be too big a risk, even the kean commission couldn't explain the connecting flight. any idea as to why atta would go to boston the day before the attacks and then take a flight from portand maine to boston, first thing in the morning on 9/11??

my sister missed a pearl jam concert a few years ago because she decided to book her flight on the morning of the show. her flight was cancelled due to fog, so she didn't make it. you never know what might happen.

    the guy got on a plane, slit the throat of a stewardess, and crashed it into a skyscraper killing himsel and everybody onboard...its hard to figure why he did any of that, let alone thry to figure why he had to fly into boston that morning.

    Virtually everyone with a brain who has paid any attention the last five years knows that picture was from the Portland airport. No news here. As for the rest of your post, we can do what-if speculations all day. Find me a more plausible explanation as to where he went from Portland that day and I might listen.

    The CIA came out and said they had Mohammad Atta in custody during the 9/11 attacks. It's impossible for him to be the guy.

    Apologies. I'd forogotten that having a life outside the Pearl Jam message board world destroyed one's credibility.

    you're right, because the calls that came from the plane saying that a stewardess had been killed before they stormed the cockpit were phony calls I guess. somebody told me you're a dumbass, it wasn't bush though. ;)
