I am Dan Hanley, the director of a global grassroots effort called ‘9/11 Pilot Whistleblowers’, whose purpose is to recruit highly trained and experienced civilian, military, and airline pilots alike, both active and retired, from around the world who would be willing to examine the available evidence and testify before a committee on camera or in person to the difficulty of the maneuvers supposedly executed by 19 Muslim hijackers on 9/11, such that even the highly trained pilot testifying could not have flown the given profiles on that fateful day. We are also looking for experienced pilots’ input in identifying the skills and aptitudes which pilots must master, distinguishing them from persons who lack such training.

An example of this is given by the purported profile flown by alleged Muslim hijacker Hani Hanjour who supposedly piloted American Airlines flight 77 that allegedly struck the Pentagon on 9/11. The aircraft was reported to have conducted a descending and accelerating 330 degree corkscrew turn from 7000 feet west of the Pentagon to arrive precisely at ground level to strike the Office of Naval Intelligence at nearly 500 miles per hour. This maneuver was replicated in a flight simulator. Highly experienced pilots could not perform this maneuver on successive attempts without crashing and yet, according to the official narrative, Hani Hanjour accomplished this amazing aerial feat on the first attempt with minimal aircraft experience training in light Cessna aircraft having only a few hundred hours of total flight time.

Another international grassroots group, the Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry, has petitioned the New York District Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Geoffrey Berman, to convene a grand jury. The Petition alleges that the three World Trade Center buildings–1, 2, and 7–collapsed due to controlled demolitions and not because of jet aircraft impact building damage or the jet fuel fires that ensued. The goal is to achieve a Justice Department criminal investigation into the events of 9/11, which was never conducted in the past.

I am happy to report to you that our group, 9/11 Pilot Whistleblowers, has very recently begun communicating with the Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry, and others, in an attempt to gather testimony from pilots around the world for a similar legal action of impelling a United States attorney through presentations of pilot testimony and other evidence to convene another grand jury to review our evidence.

If you would like to join our noble cause, whether as a pilot or a member of the general public, please click HERE.

Additionally, we ask that you please contact other possibly interested pilots and other aviation professionals (e.g., aircraft mechanics, engineers, etc.) who might be interested in joining us, as well as your family, friends, and neighbors. General inquiries can be sent via our Contact Form.



Millions of people have been killed, maimed, and/or displaced from their homelands as a direct result of the horrific crimes of 9/11. We demand that justice be served in bringing those responsible to a court of justice through a thorough criminal investigation by the US Department of Justice.
