It's insane how most of the hijackers were under 25....

How they got indoctrinated is what I don't understand. The cost is much greater than the benefit. What did they got out of it flying planes into buildings?

Never underestimate ppl with seemingly nothing to lose. Islamic extremists see the world as poisoned by The West (aka the Great Satan) and Zionism. Couple that with origins in poverty and these guys *literally* see themselves as Super Heroes.

I agree except that the 9/11 hijackers were mainly middle class and above and educated. One was a law student and another had an engineering degree. The regular broke dude in northern Nigeria or Iraq blowing himself up to escape poverty there makes sense however.

"The check-in was odd. The two that I checked in, two brothers, one was kind of gruff and the other one was standing a couple of paces behind him. And this sounds odd, but this is what caught my attention. He was almost dancing, he was moving from foot to foot and grinning and looking around, and my thought was, here's somebody that's never been on an airplane and boy is this guy excited," Allex said.
