In the latest discussion thread to be added to the Center’s Debated Topics Forum, researcher Mehmet Inan has written an intriguing new paper entitled “The Succession of the 9/11 Hijackings as Conclusive Evidence for Control of the Planes by One Remote Team.”
In this paper, Inan argues that the succession of hijackings alleged to have taken place on September 11, 2001, would have been impossible and illogical for four teams of hijackers to have carried out and that the involved aircraft must have been controlled remotely by one team.
Although Inan’s thesis includes many particulars that we find to be largely conjecture and difficult to prove, we believe his core argument is well-supported and his thesis is worthy of consideration.
Responses welcome through June 5, 2025
We invite the 9/11 research community to read Inan’s paper. If you disagree with the arguments being made, we welcome you to submit a response in accordance with the Forum’s Publication Guidelines.
Responses must be submitted within four months — i.e., by June 5, 2025. Responses will not be subject to peer review; they need only meet the minimal standards set forth in the Publication Guidelines.
The Debated Topics Forum is intended to be a venue for constructive, evidence-based discussions about long-debated questions in the 9/11 research community. We therefore gladly accept submissions on topics considered contentious or having widely divergent viewpoints. Our goal is for the forum to serve as a platform for genuine scholarly debate that leads to major advances in our understanding of the 9/11 crimes.
We thank all of our readers and all of the authors published in the Debated Topics Forum for their interest and participation.
