War Games Training Exercise: Plane Hijacking with Cell Phone Calls Scenario

An Independent Investigation

In this brief article, I want to draw attention to a war game training drill which took place 12 days before 9/11. The information below effectively shows the scenario involvement of cell phone calls within in a plane hijacking. I will be writing in depth in my book, the connections between to the cell phone calls on 9/11, and the type of war games training drills which were on-going during the events on 9/11.

On the 31^st August 2001, the US Department of Transportation (DOT), Crisis Management Center engaged in a war game training exercise which involved the scenario of cell phone calls being made from a hijacked plane.

According to Ellen Engleman, the administrator of the DOT’s Research and Special Programs Administration, she comments that this was “actually much more than a tabletop drill”. She went on to add, “during that exercise, part of the scenario, interestingly enough, involved a potentially hijacked plane and someone calling on a cell phone, among other aspects of the scenario that were very strange when twelve days later, as you know, we had the actual event.”
