    Two Days Before 9/11, Military Exercise Simulated Suicide Hijack Targeting New York

    Filed under: Complete 911 Timeline, Do ent Collection — kevinfenton @ 7:19 am

    The US military conducted a training exercise in the five days before the September 11 attacks that included simulated aircraft hijackings by terrorists, according to a 9/11 Commission do ent recently found in the US National Archives. In one of the scenarios, implemented on September 9, terrorists hijacked a London to New York flight, planning to blow it up with explosives over New York.

    The undated do ent, en led "NORAD EXERCISES Hijack Summary," was part of a series of 9/11 Commission records moved to the National Archives at the start of the year. It was found there, and posted to the History Commons site at Scribd, by History Commons contributor paxvector, in the files of the commission’s Team 8, which focused on the failed emergency response on the day of the attacks. The summary appears to have been drafted by one of the commission’s staffers, possibly Miles Kara, based on do ents submitted by NORAD.

    If you're convinced that the government was behind the collapses of the buildings in New York (and presumably, the attacks themselves), then what sense does it make for the same government to have conducted drills in the hopes of preparing for the attacks that they were planning? If that government was intending to do whatever your conspiracy theory suggests, it would seem more likely that it would want as little resistance as possible and not a military that had just trained for the very sort of attack the government was planning.

    As you might expect, this sounds entirely coincidental and entirely reminiscent of the fact that a similar sort of drill was taking place (or was scheduled to take place) on the morning of September 11, 2001.

    I've heard it said that the drills were *cover* for the confused NORAD response, not that that ever pierced my own cynicism/agnosticism about 9/11.

    Coup d'etats and inside jobs often take place under the cover of a drill.

    No, I'm talking about the plot in the summer of 1944.

    As I recall, it didn't end well.

    Ok, so how does having everyone prepared for a simulated hijacking make anyone less prepared for an actual hijacking?

    All that has to be done is have someone clarify that it's not a drill. Takes five seconds.

    No, it didn't work out, but the plot was conducted under the cover of a drill. A great movie on the topic just came out last winter starring Tom Cruise, called Valkerie.

    While most of the military personel in the drill are honest patriots, a few of them are part of a conspiracy.

    That was not my question.

    Please answer the question:

    No, it was an inside job.

    If you are interested in coups, I suggest:

    It makes them more prepared, all the more reason to not believe it was an outside job.
