Planes crashing into important buildings - film at 11. An FBI Terrorism Expert says that "Only the middle east are capable of something like this" and "It was a well-financed operation". What gives him that idea? I'd have thought a group of people with a suicide pact, and a budget of about $2000, could pull off something like this. Plane ticket, plastic replica gun, and a baseball bat for if anyone argues with the gun. Does it cost more than that to hijack a plane? Maybe another $40 for a flight simulator so you can get good enough at flying a plane to crash it into the right place. Surely not difficult - landing and take-off are the difficult thing.
There's also some discussion of the motivation; "Why would someone want to incur the wrath of the United States?". Their conclusion was "I don't know". Apparently Australian TV had a more reasonable idea - someone might want to incur the wrath of the US in order to misdirect it at someone else. Sounds like a good plan to me. "Hello, this is Pa... er... Iraq. We blew you up, ha ha ha."
