Thanks to Microsoft Flight Simulator it is extreamly easy to fly ANY
large commercial aircraft (available in the list of aircraft in the
simulator) into the WTC. How many of us have flown between the two
antennas atop the Sears Tower? And how many have flown INTO various
buildings??? MS Flight Simulator could have been a training aid for these
hijackers/suicide pilots...
