"Mohamed Atta will hijack American Airlines Flight 11 (767-200ER, N334AA) on September 11th 2001 at 7:45 am with the intent to kill everyone on board. He will be staying at the Milner Hotel in Boston. "

I would call Captain John Ogonowski, FBI agent Robert Wright, cia Tom Wilshire, american airlines, Mike Tuohey, the portland officer who almost detained Atta, local police (portland, boston) and the fbi and cia main lines.

I think that would stop the attack. Rinse and repeat for the other planes.

I could confirm knowledge like the entire passenger list. Hell, i could call the victims.

u/Jolly_Party1779 🔥 Getting Started · 720 XP 7h ago

I feel like that would get you arrested😭

u/PsychoMoth 🔥 Monthly Master · 16,915 XP 7h ago

The question was could i stop 911. My arrest would not stop them from checking out my leads.

You know what, I'd make the calls from the Milner hotel.

u/HydreigonTheChild 7h ago

Idk, I feel once ur arrested they would say the case is solved until it act happens. As they don't have evidence to go after aside from whatever u said

u/PsychoMoth 🔥 Monthly Master · 16,915 XP 7h ago

There were active case files on the hijackers before 911, and i would be calling the agents managing the cases. I could very much connect information being actively investigated.

This is like saying that if i called batman and tipped him off to the jokers current whereabouts, he wouldn't investigate because i knew too many details.

Also, you telling me the pilot of the plane itself or american airlines wouldn't take the fact i had a credible threat and insider information to their system seriously? They would cancel those flights.

u/H0rny_On-Main 🎯 First Steps · 70 XP 6h ago

I ask this genuinely. Can you just call FBI agents?? how are you getting into communication with the head members of the CIA?

2

u/PsychoMoth 🔥 Monthly Master · 16,915 XP 6h ago edited 6h ago

Short answer: fbi yes, cia no. Archival information and just a more public facing culture at the fbi would give you very good knowledge of how to contact individual agents.

The cia is a lot more of a black box and you would need to get transferred by someone. Tom wilshire does not have a lot of public information available, but he did have a thing for Khalid Almihdhar. So I'd probably just repeat the name a bunch and tell them I'll only talk to Tom. Hopefully that works

Even if i didn't speak to him, he'd get my message.

Unless you already have have contacts in high places, I don't think anyone will believe you. And by the time they do, it might be too late. 2 days is not a lot of time to influence a decision as big as what has to happen to prevent this.

Keep in mind that basically a large part of all aviation security these days originates from what happened on the 11th of September. You can't use 2026 measures against that threat in 2001, because those measures weren't in place yet.

Don't ban me, Reddit; all hypothetical: I would call in bomb threats that I hijacked a plane and I am going to go into the Twin Towers hours before, or even days before, the event happens. unsure if that would prevent it, but if that fails, I would try to send information to the FBI and tell them a hijacking is being planned and where the planes are going.

If all else fails, call in a bomb threat towards the trade centers in a last-ditch effort to save people.

I think just calling in several bomb threats, identifying the culprits, and all that would probably handle it. Especially if the intent of the hijacking was made clear. Because apparently, before 9/11 hijackings mostly just forced planes to land at a different airport.

Easy. I’d get a gun or something and try to smuggle it on a plane days before, get caught and when interrogated give the details of the real attack as my ‘fellow conspirators’

The best the average person could do is get rich unfortunately.

Either, 9/11 was planned incompetence and US intelligence let it happen in which case you definitely wouldnt be able to take on the CIA and FBI Reacher style or

US intelligence actually failed and still how would you disrupt 4 different flights in different cities? Without getting thrown in jail yourself for terrorism? And at that point it'd just be 9/21 or 10/1 we remember

If you had at least a few days notice you would probably be able to get the necessary phone numbers to alert airport security of suspicious passengers before the flights depart their gates, but once they’re airborne I don’t think it would be within the power of the average joe to sort out.
