Have they
been doing these war games in other instances also and where are the people
involved ????
Dark
Doppelganger of Delta 1989
It is
already known that Delta 1989 made an emergency landing in Cleveland on 9/11,
and that the plane had a mysterious doppelganger who landed half an hour later
as an emergency, too.
Now
take a look at the 9/11 commission report, a really interesting book. What do
we learn about Delta 1989? Is it possible to establish a timeline for the
flight? Let's try.
At
8:25, Delta 1989 took off from Boston Airport (this is not documented in the
9/11 report, but in the BTS database, http://www.bts.gov).
At
about 9:00, Delta 1989 crossed the border between Boston Center and Cleveland
Center, the two long-range Air Traffic Control centers. This estimation is easy
to do because we know roughly the speed of the aircraft, and because we know
Delta 1989 was over Cleveland at 9:40. Take a look at page 15 of the 9/11
report, there is a map of the FAA Control Centers. So after 9:00 or at most
9:05, Cleveland Center was in charge of Delta 1989.
At
9:19, the FAA Command Center advised Cleveland controllers to send a cockpit
warning to Delta 1989. (9/11 report, p.455, footnote 68).
At
9:27, Boston FAA reports a fifth aircraft missing, Delta Flight 89. This is a
statement from Col. Alan Scott to the 9/11 Commission.
Why Boston? The plane was now in Cleveland Center Airspace.
Why Boston? The plane was now in Cleveland Center Airspace.
At
9:28, a controller from Cleveland Center notices screams and strange voices
("we have a bomb on board"), apparently coming from Delta 1989 - but
he is in contact with the pilot, and the pilot reports nothing unusual. No
screams on Delta 1989. [ABC News].
At
9:41, Boston Center calls the military to identify Delta 1989 as a possible
hijacking. But the Cleveland controllers are still in contact with the pilot,
and the transponder is not off. So why does Boston Center send the warning and
not Cleveland Center? And why does NEADS warn Cleveland Center to watch Delta
1989 - they were watching it anyway?
So we
have a terrible mess here; we have a flip-flop between Boston Center and
Cleveland Center despite the fact that clearly Cleveland was responsible for
Delta 1989 after 9:00; and we have conflicting reports that the plane was
"missing" and "possibly hijacked" despite the fact that
transponder and radio contact were never off.
There
is an elegant possibility to clean up this mess:
Delta
1989 had a dark doppelganger, not only when it landed at Cleveland Airport, but
when it was flying, too. This doppelganger started probably in Boston, too. It
was part of the wargames which were taking place on this day. It was a
"live-fly exercise".
The
transponder of the doppelganger was off from start. When Boston Center called
NEADS at 9:27 to report that Delta 1989 was "missing", this warning
was in fact meant for the doppelganger flight. Its radar blip was hidden behind
the blip of Delta 1989 from now on.
The
screams at 9:28 were not coming from Delta 1989, but from the doppelganger
flight. That's why the Cleveland controller was so confused: he determined the
origin of the screams by "Radio Direction Finding", a standard
technique, and they were coming from Delta 1989's position. The controller was
not involved in the wargames, so he didn't know that there was a plane hiding
behind Delta 1989.
On
board of the doppelganger flight, a simulated hijacking took place. Boston
Center - or a department of Boston Center - was apparently in charge of the
wargame, this explains why Boston Center was still involved at 9:27 resp. 9:41.
Note that Boston Center reported directly to the military.
At
9:41, the doppelganger left its cover, so its radar blip was visible. This was
the moment when it was reported hijacked, falsely labeled as Delta 1989. The
doppelganger was reported in the broadcast news as the "fifth plane."
So what happened to the passengers of Delta 1989's doppelganger?
