Selection of Interviews Talking About Training Exercises Involving Hijacked Planes Pre-9/11

By Mark Conlon

Here's a selection of interviews talking about training exercises drills involving hijacked planes pre-9/11. These videos were uploaded on Shoestring's YouTube Channel.  https://www.youtube.com/@Shoestring911 

Exercise Was Held Shortly Before 9/11 Based on the Scenario of 'a Jetliner Striking the Pentagon'

Two clinics at the Pentagon held a training exercise in the summer of 2001 that, presciently, was based around the scenario of an airliner crashing into the Pentagon. This is revealed by John Baxter, who was commander of the Air Force Flight Medicine Clinic at the time of the 9/11 attacks. Baxter recalls that in the summer of 2001, he and James Geiling, then commander of the DiLorenzo Tricare Health Clinic, discussed having a joint exercise between their two clinics. They "decided on a scenario of a jetliner striking the Pentagon at the heliport," Baxter says. They didn't envision the crash being the result of terrorism, though. Instead, they were thinking about the fact that planes coming in to land at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport turned right over the Pentagon as they made their final approach to the airport. The two men therefore "thought it would be a somewhat realistic scenario that one of these airliners could get off course, get their altitude wrong, have a mechanical problem, and strike the Pentagon." The resulting exercise helped them identify a few "issues that were deficient" and correct these problems before the Pentagon was attacked on September 11 that year. This is an excerpt from episode 162 of the podcast series, "Borne the Battle," which was released on September 11, 2019.

C-130 Cargo Planes Sometimes Played Hijacked Aircraft in Military Exercises, NORAD Employee Reveals

A woman who was working as an ID technician at NORAD's Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS) on September 11, 2001, reveals that a C-130--a type of military cargo aircraft--would sometimes be used to play a hijacked plane in NORAD training exercises. The ID tech--either Shelley Watson or Stacie Rountree--explains that when the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was involved in NORAD exercises, "the majority of the time we had a military aircraft, real-world, out there flying over land, coming into our area where we were gonna hold the exercise." The ID tech goes on to specify that the military aircraft playing a hijacked plane in the exercise could be a C-130, saying that the FAA would be instructed, "This guy's a C-130, he's gonna fake these guys out, he's gonna pretend he's hijacked, don't tell [NEADS] who it is." This clip is taken from "Team 8 Interview with Maureen Dooley, Shelley Watson, and Stacie Roundtree of the Northeast Air Defense Sector." 9/11 Commission, October 27, 2003, https://catalog.archives.gov/id/20701... .

United Airlines Held a Realistic Drill 12 Days Before 9/11 That Simulated One of Its Planes Crashing

Andy Studdert, chief operating officer of United Airlines on September 11, 2001, describes a shockingly realistic "no-notice drill" he arranged that was held on August 30, 2001. In it, airline employees were led to believe one of their Boeing 747s had crashed while flying over the Pacific Ocean, on its way to Australia. Studdert initially allowed personnel in the airline's operations center to think the crash was real. Many of them were devastated. There were "people throwing up in the hall" and "people crying," Studdert recalls. Only after half an hour did he reveal the truth, announcing, "This has been a no-notice drill, there is no event, everything's fine." Twelve days later, two United Airlines planes were hijacked as part of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Studdert claims that many people subsequently came up to him and thanked him because, as a result of his drill, "we were ready" on September 11. This is an excerpt from "Preparing Your Organization for a Crisis: Lessons From United Airlines Emergency Preparation, Pre-9/11," an interview with Andy Studdert by the Center for Values-Driven Leadership at Benedictine University on February 27, 2012.

Pre-9/11 Hijack Exercise Involved an American Airlines Plane with Real People Playing Its Passengers

Colin Scoggins, a military operations specialist at the FAA's Boston Air Route Traffic Control Center, describes a joint FAA/military training exercise held in 1995 or 1996 in which a real American Airlines aircraft apparently played the part of a hijacked plane and this aircraft "actually had passengers on board." Notably, two of the aircraft that were hijacked on 9/11--Flight 11 and Flight 77--were also American Airlines planes. This audio is a taken from Scoggins's interview with the 9/11 Commission on September 24, 2003.

United 93: Nicole Carol Miller Photograph & Misinformation

By Mark Conlon

A photo of United 93 passenger Nicole Carol Miller at Newark Airport has been circulating the internet, which is thought to show Nicole about to board her flight, United 93 on 9/11. After extensive research into the original "uncropped" photograph which I obtained, I can now confirm that the photograph was most likely taken a couple days before 9/11. If look closely you can see the AA logo on the boarding sign. The photo appears to be taken as Nicole was boarding an American Airlines flight, not a United flight.

Nicole was on vacation in NYC and NJ. Nicole was originally due to fly back to San Jose, California on the 10th September, according to her father, however because of a thunderstorm on the evening of 10th September, it forced Nicole to be rescheduled onto United 'Flight 93' the next morning, 11th September 2001.

Below, I can share an exclusive uncropped version of the photograph of Nicole, which to my knowledge is a very rare version of the photograph.

I have also obtained a short piece of video footage of Nicole at a family wedding. I hope this clears up the misinformation which has been circulating the internet about this photograph. 

Thanks for reading, until my next blog post.

American Airlines "Flight 77" Official DCC Radar Flight Path Evidence (Visual Study)

 By Mark Conlon

In this video I discuss American Airlines Flight 77's "official" DCC Radar flight path, using the "official" radar evidence which was obtained under a Freedom of Information Act. (FOIA). The DCC Radar data has not been seen by the public until its release. The DCC radar data coordinates were very different to the Rades84 coordinates, which is a major conflict for the "official" narrative. The DCC Radar evidence is also backed-up by FAA & NORAD communication recordings and transcripts, showing that AA77 did not turn around on the Kentucky OHIO boarder, and head back towards Washington, but continued in its flight path towards Falmouth, St Louis and Missouri and into Kansas, before heading back again towards Missouri and then back to Kansas, then disappearing off radar.

AA77 - Official Rades84 & DCC Radar Flight Path Anomalies

 By Mark Conlon

In this video I discuss the discrepancies between American Airlines Flight 77's flight path, using two different pieces of "official" radar evidence, between the Rades84 radar data and DCC radar data. The DCC radar data was only released under a Freedom of Information request, and has not been seen by the public until its release. I also discuss "official" Air Traffic Control (ATC) transcripts evidence, which backs up the DCC radar data coordinates, along with CNN News coverage, showing Flight Explorer radar path for AA77, no making a turn back towards Washington.

By Mark Conlon

This photograph is "allegedly" of American Airlines "Flight 77" at Dulles Airport on 9/11, taken by Gwen Faulkner. This is the same lady who took two other photographs of some of the passengers at Gate D26, which I shared in a previous blog post. Gwen took photographs of the school pupils who won a National Geographic competition who were being accompanied by their teachers on the trip on 9/11.

Here's the other two photographs below, taken by Gwen Faulkner, of the school children with their teachers, and two National Geographic Channel people on the right at Dulles Airport on 9/11.


The photograph below was taken at the boarding gate D26, when the school children and teachers were boarding the plane, along with capturing some of the other passengers too who boarded Flight 77.

NEW "Flight 175" Plane Video - Taken From Ferry At Battery Park On 9/11

By Mark Conlon

This is a short blog to inform people of a new 2nd plane (UA175) video captured by Kevin Westly on 9/11 which was uploaded to YouTube on 24th February 2022. The video was taken from the top deck of the ferry in Battery Park, close by to where the famous Michael Hezarkhani video was taken, along with Carmen Taylor's photographs she took.  


Here's the original video source from Kevin's YouTube channel, which can be found here: https://youtu.be/o6t31R4tI10

Interestingly, Hezarkhani can be seen in the video when Kevin Westly pans around the ferry boat. Hezarkhani was clearly is not using a tripod which was claimed by Steve De'ak. See below: 



The 4 photos below show Carmen Taylor's location on the ferry boat. 3 of the photos are Carmen Taylor's personal photos which she posted to Canadian researcher Jeff Hill on his pumpitout forum after disclosing her location to him during a phone call, explaining where she was located on the corner of the ferry boat, wedged in between the metal box and guard rail, which she shows in her 2 photos. 


If anything, I hope it clears up the matter regarding Michael Hezarkhani and Carmen Taylor being present on the ferry boat in an elevated position which I have maintained for many years since doing various analysis and studies of the video and photos.
