Controversies
- The hijackers weren't on the 9/11 passenger manifests?
- There were unusually few passengers on the 9/11 flights?
- Only a very small number of passengers are listed in the Social Security Death Index?
- The flights were flown by remote control, not hijackers? (Technical analysis)
- Why, on 9/11, was a plane reported as crashing near the Ohio/ Kentucky border?
- One of the passengers said they saw a gun?
- How could the black boxes have been destroyed? And were at least three secretly recovered?
- FAA records show Flight 93 and 175 registration numbers were valid for years after 9/11?
