Anyone else want to think their way through the pros and cons for the likelihood of this?
I couldn't find anything about it on the 'net. The whole "remote control operators" thing sounds overly-complicated and unnecessary. If these people exist and witnessed something, where are they? Who are they? If Lewis knows about them exclusively, how did he find out about them? Was he provided with a bunch of manufactured disinfo by someone with intel connections?
Yeah, there are many problems, as far as I can see, with this theory. If the flight controllers were flying "blips" on the radar rather than real planes, how was control of the actual 9/11 planes transferred to them without them knowing? Surely in a military exercise bogus names or call signs would be given to such planes and planes with real call signs would be known?
How likely is it that those who were carrying out the 9/11 attacks would entrust such a core aspect of the plan - the flying of flight 175 and 11 into the WTC towers to people who were not involved in or aware of the operation? Would this not have been a serious risk to take?
If in military exercises of this sort, the designers of the "war games" try to make them as realistic as possible, would the people who were playing the part of the enemy or "hijackers" not be given freedom to do as they wished, like attack "some buildings" in New York for example? If so, then how likely is it that the real directors of the 9/11 attacks would just hand over control of the Flights 11 and 175 to these unwitting parties? Would there not be a serious risk of them, for one reason or another, not completing the mission?
If on the other hand the planes were preprogrammed to fly directly into the WTC towers and there was no way to stop them, then what is the point in having a military controllers "controlling" them, if he cannot change course? What is the point of having anyone "controlling" them at all, rather than just watching them on the radar and reporting their movements?
Why add this complication and then the added complication of having to slience them? It seems to me that, along with the "pods" that Lewis has promoted in his film "In Plane Sight", there is a good chance that this is just a distraction and an attempt to confuse the issue. Of course, Lewis may well be totally unaware that he is being used in this way.
