Here's a link to details on the liquid bomb attack carried out 12 years on a flight from the Philippines.

"Only" killed one person, but a very dangerous explosion. It was intended merely as a test run for a much bigger series of attacks.

Wow, Spirit, hadn't heared of that one, I'm amazed the plane survived that attack!
piddi, sure, there was the Lockerbie which most of us will remember, but what was new in the 9/11 attacks was that planes weren't bombed - they were hi-jacked then used as weapon. That never happened before! All commercial passenger jets now have, as per regulations, anti-hijacking reinforced doors preventing access to the cockpit. They can only be opened from the flightdeck, sometimes using a key code from the cabin. One night the crew left the door lock armed when they closed it and left the plane, took me a while to figure out how to get back in

911 planes used as weapons, sure...that's why the nsa and cia were running simulations of the exact same planes flying into the exact same places at the exact same time. want to know why those polanes weren't intercepted? the people monitoring them thought that it was the drill...
the tapes were released(finally) a few days ago. of course most peopel have already made up their minds.... http://www.vanityfair.com/features/general/060801fege01
funny, this is just like what happened in london were old peter powers(what a name...)was running simulations of the exact same buses blowing up at the exact same time....in fact one bus was diverted off of it's normal route by the police to explode were it did.... http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/ju ... ombing.htm
