The existence of an "uninterruptible autopilot" system, patented by Boeing and Honeywell, is discussed as a possible explanation for mysterious aircraft behavior. The system is designed to allow remote control of a plane to prevent hijackings, guiding it to a safe landing at pre-programmed airbases. This technology is theorized to have played a role in various aviation incidents, including the Germanwings crash.
A congressman grills Director Mueller about the FBI's contact with Anwar al-Awlaki prior to 9/11. Despite Mueller's denials, reports suggest Awlaki had contact with two hijackers and was even invited to the Pentagon after the attacks. The hosts predict the congressman will be marginalized for asking "tough questions" about Awlaki's status as a potential asset.
The hosts revisit reports from September 11, 2001, regarding a Boeing 767 that made an emergency landing in Cleveland due to a bomb threat. They argue this "missing" plane and the subsequent 8-mile debris field of Flight 93 were omitted from the 9-11 Commission Report to cover up the shoot-down.
