Welcome to the world of GPS and satellites... it was not hard at all for them to program the GPS to fly right into Manhattan as John said... All they had to do was get it to the right altitude... Also, it is important to remember that September 11, 2001 saw absolutely perfect flying weather all across the country... unlimited visibility... they could likely see the towers when they were up to 50 miles out...

As for your second question... come on... Jet fuel is kerosene... that is used in lamps for a reason... IT BURNS!!... all it took was a tiny spark to set the fuel ablaze and as you can immagine, an airplane hitting a building at a few hundred miles per hour will produce the necessary spark... I sure hope you didnt really doubt that the jet fuel would burn in that situation...

I found this video when I was looking for proof... it puts to rest the idea that there would be lots of debris as in the Pentagon crash... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4q35xHzjxB0

Also, here is one that shows the explosion of jet fuel...

First of all, they came from Boston, not from Cleveland. It was a sunny, clear morning, and they could almost see their target when they took over the airplanes.

They had not done very well, but they knew enough to control the airplanes well enough to do what they wanted to do that morning.

One answerer above said "flying is not very hard." That, of course is not correct, but the small segment of the flight that they were in control was within the small amount of training they had received.

Technically, the jet fuel did not "explode," but just caught fire. It is essentially kerosene, and when the airplanes collided with the buildings, the fuel tanks ruptured, spilling the fuel all over the wreckage. It was ignited by the heat of the engines and the force of impact.

Finding NY is very easy, from there it's very easy to find the WTC on a clear day, like that day was. Even if the aircraft didn't have plenty if nav equipment a $100 GPS would provide all the guidance they needed. Very accurate readout of their necessary course.

The aircraft disintegrated on contact and their fuel became and aerosol, there were plenty of sources of ignition, the aircraft engines and breaking electrical connections are the first two that come to mind. Lots of previous accidents have shown that there's no problem setting an aircraft on fire when it crashes.

Sadly all this conspiracy BS just shows how horribly lacking the education system is these days, people just know nothing of science and engineering.

I have no real flight training just simulator time and I can guarantee you that I could fly a plane loaded with fuel from Cleveland to NYC. First I could just set the FMS to take me to KLGA and turn LNAV on. Or I could just fly EAST and go up or down the coast and find the city.
Well the plane crashed into a building and denigrated, there was alot of friction which caused alot of sparks which ignited the over 30,000lbs of Jet Fuel.

first they used gps that the US build and use all indicator that easy to read. second, do u know that aircraft carries a thousand gallon of fuel that easy to burn on their both wing. the jet fuel burn easily when hit the building. the heat of burning fuel can easily melt the metal or anything. it can cook you in before one second and u will not feel hurt. if u not believe me. u try it at home by using fuel tanker. just take hold a lighter on the tankers. good luck.

To find the world trad center they simply entered the latitude and longitude of the buildings into the flight management system and pushed the direct to button. If the FMS was not already coupled to the auto pilot, it likely was, they would couple it and the airplane would fly right to it. All they then had to do was get down to the right altitude.

You are not really asking why jet fuel explodes when a fully fueled airliner crashes into a building are you? Are you really?

1. They had training. (As any one with an Airman's certificate can do.)
2. Compression, friction, and the resulting heat. (Fuel+heat+oxygen. Works every time. Ask any fire-fighter.)

Horribly easy to do for anyone who has no soul.

Ever hear of Microsoft Flight Simulator???? Flying is not that hard. They could set the auto piolt to the right compass heading and then fly manually when they got close to NYC.

#2. Flamable item + hot engine= enough to ignite something.

Best thing to do is not question what happened because there is too much power behind it. We live in a world of people with questionable morals, apathy is the best remedy for a carefree life. Stop caring, we all turn to dust in the end and hopefully whomever was behind this stuff will meet theirs in the end.

Your number 1 question is plagueing millions of people. These guys ould not fly a cessna prop and were failed their exam. Now to fly that distance they would have had to disengage the autopilot or try and rest the flight computers to jfk airport or lga. and then disengage the autopilot and both planes flew into the same buildings at 600 mph..
It was impossible. The high jaker really may have high jaked it but they didnt fly it . they were all saudis, These 767 aircraft can be flown by remote control probably from another aircraft. It has been done in test flight so why not from one of the governments 747,s eb.

The jet fuel would have burned up very fast from a spark as it crashed, Now you dont see welders welding with jet fuel do you, Jet fuel will not burn hot enought to melt steel,
the support of the towers were in the center of the building.
My guess Thermite was used to bring the towers down. The plane crash was just a smoke screen. A jewish man just so happen took ontrol of the buildings a few days before and made out very well when the collapse occured.
was there a onspiracy or something the goverment is not telling us about,,,, i would say yes,,,

Look at the pentagon and the small clip.and the hole in the building,,, do you think someone who could not fly manuever light pole and interstates and hit the base of a building. the size of the hole doesnt match the aircraft, it looked like a missle to me,,
