How Did the Hijackers Steal the Plane?
How did the hijackers do it? How did they attack the planes that caused such a tremendous blow to America on September eleventh? It wasn't as easy as you may think. According to experienced pilots, the most probable answer is in modern Flight Training Simulators. These simulators will let you "fly" through any city you choose; everything in it is placed geographically correct. Getting access to a flight training simulator is not that difficult either. Most airlines have these simulators available for hire by the hour. They allow individuals and private companies to buy time in the machines. One of the harder parts of the attack was what you'd think was easy. Spotting the towers and positioning the planes to hit them was difficult. Everything looks difficult from the sky. And since the planes balance changes as speed increases , positioning it was fairly difficult. Flying the planes was the easiest part. The hijackers need no more than a few basic skills, which they had since most of them had a pilots license. They would have needed a couple of hours each in the simulators to learn where the basic equipment of these planes was. Since the 757 and 767 jets had similar cockpit layouts, they would have needed only one simulator. True, higher skills, but they didn't need to know that. Many people say that the second plane's banking turn before it hit the tower indicated a highly skilled pilot at the controls, but that is actually a very basic maneuver. The attack was not as difficult as most people thought it was. The simulator owners should have been tipped of when came wanting to learn nothing more than how to fly.

These are the names and ages (if they were given) of the hijackers of September, 11. Notice that some have matching last names. The plane flight names that the hijackers names are under are the flight they were on.
1.Columns on the outside support main system, these are steel poles located around the outer perimeter.
2.Core of poles supports the core,these poles are located around the elevator shaft.
3. Columns are especially designed to prevent inward buckling,they are made of a very strong metal.
4. Concrete settings are on every floor separating all this lead to part of the collapse but I will cover this later.
5. There are 110 stories on every building.
Summarizing the Literal Crash
1.Planes were hijacked by Alquida and were drove into the side of the World Trade Center.
2.The fierce burning fire in the World Trade Center spread very rapidly overwhelming all extinguishing equipment.
3.The Jet fuel in the plains blew up and sent this fire to temperatures up to 1000 degrees.
4.The fire was so hot it weakened the outer perimeter poles and this enabled inward buckling. (the fire melted the poles almost completely).
5. One floor around the top fell and with the momentum of the weight of the concrete settings above it, it gained momentum and drove all the stories to the ground.
