The "muscle" hijackers

[spooked911]

"The so-called muscle hijackers actually were not physically imposing, as the majority of them were between 5’5” and 5’7” in height and slender in build."

Doesn't this seem curious? Why didn't they or why couldn't they have recruited more physically imposing men for the hijackings?

Doesn't the size of these men bring up the issue of how well they could have physically attacked people in the planes in order to commit the hijackings? Even if they were trained to fight, 5'6" and slender is a significant disadvantage.

Why didn't Al Qaeda get bigger guys?

1. That's a good description of me

I'm not weak, but even with the equipment the Hijackers had, I could never do something like hijack an airplane full of people.

2. Planes Prepped W/Knockout Gas

After examining all I could find about the airliners, the hijackers and the hijacking, all I could determine was that they had help and the planes were prepped.

3. "we have some bombs"

All it takes to cow passengers is to see one gutted with a razor knife and threaten to blow up the plane. The surprise and panic overwhelms the people and the terrorists seize control. The physical size is irrelevant. The ferociousness of the attack is what cows them. Look at a badger and tell me if size matters or even a really pissed off cat for that matter.

Of course this scenario is possible but until they provide some DNA evidence to support the theory that the hijackers were the alledged Al Qeada operatives, the method in which they utiliized to take-over the plane is irrelevant.
