    A convincing story I've never heard of.

    I had never heard of the alleged "5th plane" of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and was absolutely captivated. The pilot and crews accounts are convincing and match up with one another, and there was definitely something suspicious going on with that plane, that morning.

    The documentary is ultimately limited by its lack of evidence beyond those eyewitness accounts, which is by no fault of the producers. They told the story very well with the limited information available and left this viewer wanting more. It's incredible that 24 years after the event and there is still so much that is unknown or unclear.

    Typical modern day hokey production

    It seems there was a time that only certain types of programs received this type of production, but now it seems as if nothing as safe from it for the most part. I realize it's a tmz production, so it's not as if my hopes were high. But the constant suspense music, is that really necessary for this type of show?? Thousands of people died during these events, yet it's played out like it's just typical prime time drama. It really goes along with today's media, how almost everything is dumbed down and diluted. Like I said, I didn't expect much, and yet even that level wasn't achieved. Some of the information just doesn't add up, and I wonder how much of it is actually true. Don't waste your time.

    An interesting Investigation

    It's good there isn't enough evidence to 'prove' this was another Hijacked plane. On that day irrefutable proof meant a heavy loss of life. There is enough intuitive and collective observation along with potentially misplaced physical evidence and oddities that I found this informative. I would consider what was found in the pouch behind the 1st class seat on the United plane with 1 digit different # as real evidence. Especially considering the majority of passenger anomalies were occurring in 1st class on United 23. However, even if not on the wrong plane then we go down a darker road of how many planes could have been used for mass casualties that day? What unnerved me the most is the passenger on United 23 asking "If The White House had been hit" when 23 was being evacuated. If United 23 was meant for The White House there would be no reason to ask that question. That makes me think United 93 was indeed White House bound. On that morning, three of the four hijacked flights departed on schedule. However, Flight 93 was delayed more than 25 minutes due to heavy morning traffic. In theory the passenger who asked would of assumed the crew on United 23 would of known about United 93 by then because the potential hijacker would have known the "Scheduled Departure Time" but no way to know of the delays. So where would United 23 have been going? Add in the anomalies in the plane after the crew secured everything and evacuated and I'm hard pressed to come up with a different explanation. We will never know the truth in it's entirety from September 11th, 2001.
