“Actor James Woods couldn’t help noticing the four Middle Eastern men riding with him in first class on an August 1 [2001] flight from Boston to San Francisco. …These four men carried no hand luggage onto the transcontinental flight, which seemed odd, and odder still was the way they later ignored the female flight attendant, as if her presence didn’t even register. …Woods eventually concluded that the men were going to hijack the plane…he says the clues were so obvious that he asked the flight attendant if he could speak with the pilot. …All four of the passengers from that day participated in the hijackings on September 11, Woods has been told, each on a different flight.”
