Two notes that hit me right away:1) "The pilots did the hard part of taking off after that most planes fly the same"... He says this right after saying that they took a 6 month course.
2) He keeps saying how the reason they picked new york is because its included in a flight simulator. Is Washington DC included in one as well?
About the only thing I'd possibly agree with him on is the fact that they had to know the navigational system pretty well. After all... to fly an airplane that fast into a target that was relatively small (compared to the width of the plane) is quite a feat.
So... now do we ban flight simulator programs because people may learn how to fly?
Dammit.. I'm so confused. I think I'm going to go to sleep and see if anything makes sense later.
