And of course you don't need to melt steel to make a building collapse: blacksmiths have been working it at red heat (650 - 950 C) for thousands of years.Until 9/11, it was very easy for student pilots to get US visas. All you had to do was declare "purpose of visit: pilot training" and if you already held a private pilot licence and had a place on a commercial course in the USA, no questions were asked.Thats all very nice but, not what happened here is it.

It's a fairly accurate precis, supported by film evidence and pilot training records.
