Not surprisingly, the man who controlled the money at the Pentagon, Dov Zakheim, also enjoyed connections to an electronics firm specializing in remote control aviation.

There are even newer technologies which have since been developed which offer far greater sophistication, with little, to no input from humans. One such technology was developed by Sysplan Corporation, a company which is apparently completely dedicated to defense items, as well as intelligence and Homeland Security, with advanced tech in those areas their specialty.

Sysplan Corporation has developed one technology along these lines, which enables the controller to control not just one 'pilotless drone' but up to eight (8) 'pilot less drones' simultaneously.

It is called the 'Flight Termination System' (FTS). Below is a quote from Sysplan Corporation on the FTS:

FTS also allows multiple missions to be run simultaneously with a single CTS unit. In this mode, multiple operator stations share control of the transmitter unit. The FTS control software ensures that the multitasking of the CTS unit is performed seamlessly and is completely transparent to the operators.

SysPlan Corporation FTS System

There has been much progress in these technologies over the last 60 years. While we have just done an overview of the last 25 years for remote controlled technologies, or 'Auto pilots', the technology is really much older than one might think, and was first developed, not surprisingly, for B-25's in and during WW II. From the crude 'Auto-Pilots' for the B-25's during WWII to now, it has advanced infinitely beyond what we perhaps thought possible just 30 years ago. Consider this, that as you read this, Nasa is 'flying' or remotely controlling the latest little robotic units they sent to Mars, using radio signals, and a very sophisticated and advanced offshoot of the technology that we are now learning about.

So it shouldn't come as a surprise that we are able now, to control in entirety, up to eight aircraft, and fly them entirely without the intervention of humans, apart from programming the unit.

That is correct, this FTS unit by Sysplan Corporation, is capable of flying, from start to finish, up to eight individual aircraft, regardless of size, from taxi and takeoff, the entire flight plan, as well as landing]And this in their own words "is completely transparent to the operators."

Dov S. Zakheim was sworn in as the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) and Chief Financial Officer for the Department of Defense on May 4, 2001. Dr. Zakheim has previously served in a number of key positions in government and private business. Most recently, he was corporate vice president of System Planning Corp., a technology, research and analysis firm based in Arlington, Va. He also served as chief executive officer of SPC International Corp., a subsidiary specializing in political, military and economic consulting. During the 2000 presidential campaign, he served as a senior foreign policy advisor to then-Governor Bush.

And below are quotes regarding Dov Zakheim, and his public thoughts about PNAC, Project for a New American Century.

In a document called "Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century" published by The American Enterprise's "Project for a New American Century"(1), System Planning Corporation (SPC) International executive, Dov Zakheim, called for "some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor" being necessary to foster the frame of mind needed for the American public to support a war in the Middle East that would politically and culturally reshape the region. A respected and established voice in the intelligence community, his views were eagerly accepted, and Dov went from his position at Systems Planning Corporation to become the Comptroller of the Pentagon in May 2001. (2) Perhaps not so coincidentally, it was an SPC subsidiary, TRIDATA CORPORATION, that oversaw the investigation after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in 1993.

Summary

So we can see that remote control technology isn't something new or only in science fiction. Consider the fact that we can remotely fly vehicles to Mars and then back again. And as already pointed out, most of the flight of a 757 and 767 is done remotely, by computer. With Global positioning now in place, a plane can be flown remotely into just about any spot on earth. The probability that the Drones used on 911 were remote controlled vehicles is extremely high, as suicide missions are hard to find recruits for. They had this 17 long years before 911, and had much time and public monies to perfect their technology, along with 17 years to do it in. And we can also see the fruits of this NASA technology in todays remotely flown Drones, Global Hawk and Predator. Remote control technology for large commercial airliners is a fact and had matured into a proven and workable technology.

Sounds plausible but what about the passengers?

A New Standard for Deception by Kevin Ryan
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=718236659434732032&q=kevin+ryan&hl=en

In an information-packed presentation of 58 minutes Kevin Ryan delivers a damning indictment of the official investigations of the total ... all » collapses of the Twin Towers and Building 7. Ryan's solid scholarship and application of the scientific method stands in stark contrast to the official investigations, whose dishonesty and corrupt anti-scientific methods Ryan exposes in abundance.

Ryan explains details of the investigation by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) not acknowledged by the Institute, such as its failure to experimentally verify the floor pancake theory, forcing it to invent a new theory about the Towers' collapse. Ryan notes commonalities in the WTC investigations by NIST and FEMA, and the investigation of the 1995 Oklahoma City Building, such as a high degree of overlap in the leaders of the respective investigations.

Ryan unquestionably qualifies as a whistleblower. Having been promoted to the top manager of Underwriter's Laboratories water testing division, Ryan was dismissed on November of 2004 after an e-mail from him to Dr Frank Gayle of NIST questioning the collapse of the twin towers became public.
