In all likelihood, the planes were probably piloted by terrorists pilots. I
can't imagine ANY commercial pilot willingly crashing into a building, even
with a gun to their head.
My take on the Pennsylvania crash was probably the passengers and crew
fought back, causing the crash.
By the way, I am not completely familiar with the World Trade Center. Aside
from the potential for massive loss of life, what would be the strategic
significance of this specific building? Is the WTC considered a federal
building?
As for a nuclear response to this attack.... If we were to nuke any country
in response to this, then we would be guilty of the exact same crimes that
we are accusing terrorist of here. How can we justify killing thousands (or
millions) of innocent people to retaliate?
