Isnt it amazing how cheaply this was done. 
Say 18 months times $1200 monthly rent, food 
x 19 x 11/19 trained at $25000 per x monthly 
incidentals. Their cash flow could be from 
forced donations -- if you were a rich Arab in
America and these guys came around, would you 
contribute or call the FBI? Or just wired in 
from abroad. It aint rocket science. If Stalin 
in Baku in 1910 could support his cause with 
many bank heists...

Still and all you gotta admire the technical
brilliance of this mother of all terrorist acts

whoever conceived this is/was the mother of all
engineers. using off-the-shelf available parts
is the basis of good engineering (and 
architecture for that matter).

the picture of the 757 banking so as to hit 
square on target makes one sick to the 
stomach. id rather look at pictures of body 
parts than to look at that picture again.
