Actually, the U.S. is the easiest place in the world to learn to fly an airplane.
 

Maybe you need to think about this a little more. I have no idea whether the above assertion is correct in general, but in the specific case of the alleged 9/11 hijackers, it most certainly is not.

In fact, the alleged hijackers at the flight school brought a lot of attention to themselves because they were such incredibly bad students. Now, let's think, why were they such bad students?

I think the main reason is that most of them did not really know English. I believe it was Hani Hanjour who went up with a flight instructor and after they got back on the ground, the flight instructor said "Never again". It was terrifying. Probably because Hani Hanjour didn't understand anything the flight instructor was saying.

I believe Hani Hanjour (or another one of these guys) was in the U.S. well over a year before 9/11. He was taking an intensive English language course.

So at least one of these guys supposedly went to America, enrolled in an intensive English language course (because he didn't really know English) in order to later study how to fly the plane in Florida.

Suppose you were somehow convinced to carry out a suicide operation in Russia but you needed to learn how to fly a plane. Consider this story. You go to Russia over a year before the operation. You do an intensive course of study in the Russian language so as to be able to study how to fly the plane in a flight school in which the language of instruction is Russian.

Is this a plausible story? Or would you stay in your own country, study how to fly the plane in your own language and then go to Russia to carry out the operation at the last possible moment?

Maybe I pulled punches on this in the article even. I outlined this scenario and even proposed it as a basic BDQ test question even leaving out some levels of detail as to why the story is so utterly absurd.

There is no way any real suicide hijacking operation would work the way this one allegedly did. It's all superfluous anyway. It's just another degree of the WOP narrative. Even if a plane hitting a steel framed building could cause fires hot enough to make steel columns fail AND even if all the steel columns failed simultaneously producing a vertical, symmetrical collapse THEN.... the story is still absurd because no suicide hijacking operation would ever work the way this one is alleged to work!

Nobody would go to the target country over a year before the operation, study the language of the target country so as to be able to enroll in a flight academy where the language of instruction was that newly learnt language so as to be able to fly the plane into the building.

The thing is, though, that once you realize that the story is simply not true, for one of the basic reasons that the story can't be true, then all the other reasons the story can't be true start dawning on you. And then you become amazed that you could ever have believed the story! At least that is my case with this. But I doubt I am alone.
