Basically this substack article has a pretty neat quote

Bin Laden did come up with the original idea for flying planes into the World Trade Center Towers, Lahoud told SpyTalk podcast co-host Jeanne Meserve in a wide-ranging interview. Analysts have generally credited bin Laden deputy Khalid Sheikh Mohammed as the brilliant architect of the 9/11 attacks. But Lahoud found the germ of the idea in a bin Laden note.

"The idea came to him when he was listening to the news back on the 31st of October, 1999," Lahoud told Meserve, when the pilot of an EgyptAir flight from New York to Cairo deliberately drove the plane into the sea off Nantucket Island in Massachusetts. "So bin Laden writes on this sheet of paper, he says that, ‘upon hearing the news, I turned to the brothers who were with me at the time and I told them why didn't he crash it into one of the financial towers?’"

Lahoud says the EgyptAir pilot "had some vengeful motives that had nothing to do with bin Laden or Al Qaeda, but this is where the idea came from for bin Laden." The leader’s sinister imagination is also on display in papers "in which he planned attacks against the United States...in letters that he composed in 2004 and subsequently later on in 2010," Lahoud says. "So from that respect, I don't think we gave him enough credit for his planning before." ' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.78.241.29 (talk) 02:29, 9 May 2022 (UTC) [reply ]

Change the cause to deliberated crash

[edit ]

The egyptians investiation agencies LIE A LOT, we see on FLash airlnes 604 which they siad that was a "Mechinical failure" while it was clear that it was pilot error, they just try to protect their repuation so change the cause to Delibarated crash caused by co pilot Lucasoliveira653 (talk) 02:55, 22 June 2023 (UTC) [reply ]

In any case, the current infobox does not give an appropriate summary of the situation. It treats both conclusion with equal weight, when in reality the Egyptians’ conclusion was merely a theory which was proven not to be corroborated by techical evidence and which was not widely accepted by the community. The infobox should therefore be changed. T v x1 16:47, 24 August 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
