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

By Mark Conlon

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 24th, 2003.

Interestingly, Colin Scoggins played a major role on 9/11 in the reporting that American Airlines Flight 11 was still airborne after it had allegedly crashed into the North Tower in the official NORAD & FAA 9/11 Communications. See below:

According to this official recording from FAA and NORAD communications, Flight 11's last coordinates were located 5.77 miles past the North Tower, and after the crash time. Flight 11’s last coordinates were (4038N 07403W) which locates Flight 11 heading in the direction towards the Washington area.

I wrote a detailed research article documenting evidence that Flight 11 was possibly taking part in a military exercise scenario of a plane crashing into the White House at 9:45 a.m. You can read the article here: Why Was American Flight 11 Flying To Washington On 9/11
