I guess great minds think alike.
Thanks for the link.

First of all, I still cannot believe that this has not been discussed in more detail. There is consistent speculation about UA 93's actual target, AA 77's actual target (assuming the Pentagon was a secondary target), discussion about Moussaoui as the 20th hijacker, etc., etc., and yet almost no speculation/discussion around UA 23?

Second, how can they not catch these guys? Getting from UA's EWR departure gates to the curb takes a good two or three minutes walking, and if they were running how would they not be noticed? Why would they be traveling on fake IDs and risk getting caught with fakes, if they were planning on dying anyway, presumably they would just travel on their own travel documents and not take a risk with fakes.

I am at a loss as to what to believe...
