#1 Flying commercial airliners into a submarine? I suppose that takes more than a few flight lessons in Florida...

#2 Submarine as in nuclear submarine? Be an attractive high profile terrorist target if you could grab the plane.

#3 Of course but would take more flying skills than hitting the WTC

#4 They'd have to catch them in dock, and it's not that easy. Sub movements aren't publicized, anyone hanging around with binoculars wearing a turban and beard might be invited for an extensive Q&A... lol - this is crap - a pipe dream

#5 Does anyone else see the irony of choosing Pearl Harbor as a target for its "symbolic value?" Seems to me, the last time we were hit there, we opened up a major can of whoop-ass.

#6 I've stood on top of a sub, and watched the airplanes fly overhead (the base is within walking distance from the airport), and been really really frustrated that I couldn't do a damn thing about the helicopter flying right over my damn boat taking pictures.

It could happen.

#7 Sounds fishy to me. Why go to all that trouble when there are plenty of high rise hotels near by? I think there's some chain yankin' going on here!
