Thinking about how if you were sent back in time it’d really be unclear what institutional levers to pull to stop 9/11 or how to pull them, but you could probably book on one of the flights and rally them to resist
If you go back close enough to 9/11 that Al-Qaeda has already finalized their day and which flights, just contact as many government agencies as you can find with the flight numbers, names of passengers who\u2019re going to hijack them, targets and any other info you know? There\u2019s a good chance they wouldn\u2019t believe you and they\u2019d certainly wonder where you got the information from either way, but it\u2019d be both much more likely to succeed and much safer than booking one of the flights. If you wait until hijackers have already taken the cockpit the best case scenario is likely a second Flight 93, perhaps with one of the hijackers pointing the nose at the ground. And if you avert the first hit or turn it into a crash you might even avert the passenger uprising on 93 and have that plane hit the white house instead.
Like this is extremely a \u201cmovie about a guy who time travels to try to stop 9/11\u2033 idea, not a \u201cmost effective way to stop 9/11\u2033 type idea.
What if you just wait by the gate and knock Mohammed Atta the fuck out? Or notify security at the airport that you saw him sneak a knife through. I think direct action will let you approximately guarantee that you can stop one of the planes.
If you call in a bomb threat for each of the flights the morning of I think the feds would take that extremely seriously and act on it. Do it in Atta’s name.
Or call United and American.
fewer deaths if 93 hits the white house tho, right? overall more good there.
I don’t know, like from the attacks yes, but

Can you IMAGINE how insane the American public would have gone at the image of a smoking crater where the White House used to be?
