Flight Attendant Believes Her Plane Was Supposed to be Fifth 9/11 Terrorist Jet

A flight attendant claims that her plane was intended to be used as the fifth plane in the infamous terrorist attack on 9/11/2001 in which nearly 3,000 Americans were killed. The flight attendant and the captain of the plane reveal their memories of the terrible day in the TMZ documentary “TMZ Investigates 9/11: the Fifth Plane.”

Flight attendant Sandy Thorngren, who was aboard United 23 waiting on JFK airport’s tarmac on the morning of 9/11, observed six suspicious individuals on the plane, which was supposed to take off at 9:00 a.m. but returned to the gate after the second tower of the World Trade Center was struck at 9:03 a.m. Thorngren stated, “I definitely think Flight 23 was the fifth plane,” and mentioned that the day after, they were all called by the FBI to interview us on the incident of why the plane was delayed for takeoff.

The captain of United 23, Tom Mannello, reported that there was a “good chance” that someone was attempting to use their plane as part of the 9/11 attack. “The chief pilot reported to me that they had found two box cutters in the seat pockets in first class in the plane next to it, which had a tail number one digit off.” If somebody was on the ground cooperating with them, they just simply made a mistake and put the box cutters on the wrong airplane as there are people who clean the airplane or load food on the airplane that have access to it. The comments of the flight attendant and captain imply that United 23 may have been the fifth plane that was supposed to be used in the attack.

Four hijacked planes were used by terrorists to attack the United States on 9/11. American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 were used to hit the World Trade Center, while American Airlines Flight 77 was flown into the Pentagon. Heroic passengers on the fourth plane, United Flight 93, fought the hijackers who intended to target the White House or the US Capitol, and as a result, the plane crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
