Hello. Would an automatic flight-plan have smacked the planes into the concrete? Could a flight-plan from before the changing sky-line; from before the towers were built, have been responsible??
Maybe "sanity" is alien to the actions taken? Is a person who intentionally flies a plane into a mountain or a building sane?
Sort of an irrelevant question. The question posed was - could a flight plan created at the wrong time, and flown by a careless (but well meaning) pilot, resulted in the impact?
Didn't both aircraft that crashed into the World Trade Center leave Boston bound for Los Angeles? If so, their flight plans would take them nowhere near Manhattan,
No. 1) The skyline changed in 1970. In 1970 there were no autopilots that could store several 3D waypoints, which would be necessary to do what you envision. 2) Charts (both electronic and paper) are updated very frequently; there is no way someone accidentally used a 1960's era paper chart to program a modern autopilot. 3) There is no approach to JFK or LaGuardia that would put an aircraft at <2000 feet over Manhattan. 4) None of the airplanes that hit the WTC were planning to land in NY.
It was flown into the Pentagon by some Al Qaeda terrorists. Really, what's so difficult about this point for some people?
