Terrorists frequent forums like PPRUNE to further educate themselves on aircraft opeartion.
Please don't feed their sick agendas.
My carrier lost two aircraft on 9/11. We are very sensitive about this.
Whoa, bub!
I'm not trying to minimize the loss you and your company felt, but the facts are that the 9/11 terrorists learned what they needed directly from representatives of the airlines, from a flight school who was willing to teach someone paying cash and speaking broken english with no employment references how to fly a crop duster, and by practicing flying 767/757 aircraft on a personal computer running popular flight sim software.
And, not to kick a scab off a wound, but your airline (whichever it is, any airline, pick one out of your hat) has lost more hulls and pax to pilot error, poor maintenance, and bad weather than it has - or ever will - to terrorist hijackings. Except maybe Qantas, but that's a whole 'nother discussion...
And, TSA has killed and injured more people in or near US airports than terrorists have in the last 7 years.
Having an open discussion in this forum isn't "feeding a sick agenda," because as
el # stated correctly back in
post #14 - more and better and easier to find info is already out here on the web.
Feeding a sick agenda? Suggesting that we all stop conversing in public for fear the wrong person(s) might be able to use something we discuss against us is feeding a sick agenda - it's preaching fear and endorsing censorship.
It's good that we're all aware of what lengths terrorists will go to, although it's sad that to be accurate, you have to say that we're FINALLY aware - terrorists have been using commercial craft to make their point for a long, long time now.
Don't you honestly think it's time to drop the "live in fear" attitude the Republicans have so greatly used to their benefit, and get back to doing our jobs and living our lives and enjoying our discussions?
