Don't know for sure, but I imagine there was quite a bit of public awareness
when the B-25 went into the Empire State Building during WWII. "CV" wrote in message ... Ron Natalie wrote: He also used the idea of airliners flown into buildings well before 2001. Airplanes have flown into buildings well before 2001. Subtle shift in meaning there. There was no widespread public awareness of the idea of them _being_ flown into buildings before then. CV |

You wait in the weeds with your ..."laser" until the first pilot has an aneurysm, then you zap the second pilot with the ..."laser." HEE-HEE! Good one. -- Dan C-172RG at BFM |

You are telling us that the B-52 was flown into the building _deliberately_ ? CV A: Because it's more logical and easier to read, of course. Q: Why ? A: Absolutely. Q: Should you write the answer before the text you are commenting ? |

You are telling us that the B-52 was flown into the building _deliberately_ ? Huh? Your "B-52" looks like a typo.

As Bill said, a B-25 hit the ESB during WWII - when its pilot tried a spot of low flying in IMC ... http://history1900s.about.com/librar...mpirecrash.htm Yes, I have read about that one before. But I don't think there was ever any suggestion of it having been deliberate. CV |
