- TMZ investigates what could have been a fifth plane being targeted by hijackers on 9/11.
- A TMZ investigation raises serious questions. Was there a 5th plane targeted by hijackers on 9/11? The flight attendants and pilot aboard United Flight 23 believe they were indeed targeted. United 23, a 767 aircraft, was scheduled to depart JFK at 9 AM, bound for L.A.
- Four airliners were turned into weapons of mass destruction on 9/11. A fifth may have been targeted.
United 23, a 767 aircraft, was scheduled to depart JFK at 9 AM, bound for L.A. Six passengers aroused the suspicion of flight attendants for various reasons. Among them, they were convinced one of the passengers was a man disguised as a woman. Another passenger was sweating profusely even though the temperature did not account for it. Although there may have been a multitude of explanations in this passengers case, taking into account the odd behavior exhibited by the other passengers it became a far more pronounced and noticed condition.
United Flight 23 was near the runway, getting ready to take off, when JFK was abruptly closed after the World Trade Center was hit. It taxied back to the gate and the plane was fully evacuated and locked. Twenty minutes later, people on the ground saw 2 uniformed people running in the passenger cabin of the plane. Authorities came, unlocked the door, and found the hatch leading from the belly to the cabin was open. Something that alarmed the FBI. The flight attendants were interviewed by the FBI and even taken to a lineup to see if they could identify the 4 passengers.
Box cutters were found in the first-class seat pockets on a 767 parked next to United 23. The pilot was informed of this and he believes those box cutters were meant for his plane but someone on the ground confused the 2 planes.
In addition to the flight attendants and pilot, the documentary includes interviews with the United dispatcher, a member of the 9/11 Commission and others.
