The **July 11, 2022 Terrorist Attacks,** also known as the **Retribution of the White Man Against Islam** by the Neo-Confederate Union as the **Second Planes Operation** (Arabic: **عملية الطائرات الثانية**), and referred to in the United States and Europe as **7-11**, refers to a planned series of terrorist attacks by the Islamist terrorist group Al-qaeidat Al-jadida, which was (in a bizarre ironic twist) hijacked by an Islamophobic group and terrorist organization known as the Neo-Confederate Union and transformed into a series of hate crimes against Muslims.

The plot was originally conceived by Islamic terrorist organization Al-Qaedat Al-Jadida as a terrorist attack against the United States in retaliation for the death of Osama bin Laden, culminating in the hijacking of a civilian airliner, Delta Airlines Flight 2020, and the public execution of its passengers and crew, but news of the organization was leaked to the West due to a traitor in the organization that allowed the Islamophobic hate group known as the Neo-Confederate Union to, ironically, hijack it and turn it into a terrorist attack against Muslims across the United States and the Middle East. In another twist of irony, mere days after the attacks, the NCU publicly announced that the attacks were both a declaration of war against the religion of Islam itself, and retribution against the Muslim world for 9/11.

One day later, an anonymous hacker leaked both the audio of the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and the transcript of said cockpit voice recorder for Delta Airlines Flight 2020, the only flight that wound up being hijacked that day. This helped to shed light on what transpired on Flight 2020, unlike the events that transpired aboard United Airlines Flight 93, which was hijacked as part of the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks years earlier.

## Background

In 2020, Islamic terrorist group Al-Qaeidat-al-jadida plotted a terrorist attack against the United States with the goal of avenging the death of Osama bin Laden. Over the course of 2021 and early 2022, they recruited and trained numerous volunteers for the so-called "Second Planes Operation", a new terrorist attack patterned after the original September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks years earlier. However, thanks to a double agent for the white supremacist hate group known as the Neo-Confederate Union, plans for the attack were leaked to the public before the attacks could properly begin. According to the leaked documents, Al-Qaedad Al-Jadida intended to essentially replicate the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks, albeit with five hijacked planes instead of four like during 9/11. The objective was to crash one plane into the Pentagon, just like on 9/11, one plane into the National Security Agency headquarters building in Langley, Virginia, another plane into the Empire State Building in New York City, and one plane into the CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia. A fifth aircraft was to be hijacked, but instead of being used as a weapon against a building, it was to be landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport, where Al-Qaedad Al-Jadida hijackers were to broadcast a live video of the terrorists killing all the male passengers and crew on the aircraft, but sparing the women and children.

Alarmed by this development, the United States government rushed to apprehend the terrorists involved in the operation. However, the hate group known as the Neo-Confederate Union got to them first.

## Events of 7-11

### Pittsburgh shooting

At 7:00 AM Eastern Time, the July 11, 2022 Terrorist Attacks unfolded when ex-US Special Force sniper John Brown and his spotter, ex-Australian Special Forces commando Declan Corrigan opened five and killed five Muslims on their way to mosque in front of hundreds of people. They drove off before the police arrived on the scene. Because nobody could actually see Brown and Corrigan before the shooting started, witnesses were unable to give a description of the shooters.

### Events aboard American Airlines Flight 2025

One of the airplanes intended to be used in the planned Al-Qaeidat Al-jadida terrorist attacks was American Airlines Flight 2025, flying nonstop from Boston, Massachusetts to San Francisco, California. It was commanded by Captain Jared Morelli and First Officer Robert J. Cohen.

This plane was intended to be used as a weapon against the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri. However, this was not meant to be, thanks to a series of setbacks that, in the long run, ultimately thwarted the terrorist plot to use the plane as a weapon like the 9/11 hijackers on September 11, 2001.

Khaled Mohammed, one of the main ringleaders of the terrorist plot, boarded with co-conspirator and younger brother Satam Mohamed, at 5:30 AM. Moments after, passenger Bradley S. Lawson boarded with fellow passengers John Hawkins, Kevin C. Gordon, Kirk Harker, Alice J. Willoughby, Cora J. Branch, and Courtney C. Fessler.

They were soon joined by three other terrorists: Ahmed Jarrah, Malik Abdulaziz and Fayed Banihammad.

Within hours of takeoff, things began to go wrong on board the flight, which ended up being the terrorists' undoing: first, passenger Kevin Gordon had a bout of food poisoning. Five minutes later, Captain Jared Morrelli had a heart attack. Bradley Lawson and Cora Branch, revealed to be nurses in training, and nursing students Alice Willoughby and Courtney Fessler immediately attended to the dying man. At this point, the hijacking attempt began. According to cellphone video footage and phone calls from passengers and crew both during and after the hijacking attempt, Ahmed Jarrah stabbed passenger Johh Hawkins while Malik Abdulaziz and Fayed Banihammad forced passengers and crew to the back of the aircraft and the Mohamed brothers attempted to storm the cockpit. Because of the heart attack that incapacitated Morelli, First Officer Cohen was in control of the plane at the time.

Upon hearing the commotion in the cabin, Cohen assumed that there was another medical emergency going on with the passengers. However, everyone realized a hijacking was occurring when Cora witnessed the stabbing of John Hawkins.

The video footage also reveals that upon seeing the carnage, passenger Kevin Gordon attempted to tackle Banihammad. In a dramatic role reversal from the events taking place aboard United Airlines Flight 93 years earlier, First Officer Cohen ordered passenger Kirk Harker to barricade the door, before violently rolling the plane back and forth to knock the hijackers off balance. The hijackers retaliated by grabbing Flight Attendant Kristy L. Knox and holding her hostage at knife point.

Video footage from Kirk Harker shows him taunting the hijackers, saying he was recording everything and that even if they were to hijack the aircraft, everything they were doing would be sent to the United States government as evidence. The footage also shows passenger Courtney Fessler pulling out pepper spray to incapacitate the hijackers in the event they breached the cockpit.

First Officer Cohen broadcast an SOS to air traffic controllers to warn them of what was going on. Following this, he put the aircraft in a steep dive. In the panic, Kirk Harker apparently unlocked the cockpit door and opened it by accident, as the cockpit voice recorder records Harker shouting, "Shit! The door," while the hijackers attempted to break into the cockpit.

The steep dive caused the aircraft to fall approximately 680 feet. It is believed that First Officer Cohen intentionally replicated the events of the hijacking on Flight 93, but in an attempt to stop the hijacking as opposed to the rapid descent on Flight 93 being the result of the hijacking of the flight by Al-Qaeda terrorists. Alternatively, it is also believed that First Officer Cohen replicated the events of Aeroflot Flight 593 to incur strong G-force intended to stop the hijackers from breaking into the cockpit, even if the door was forced open.

Evidence for this comes from witnesses on the ground reporting that the aircraft banked past a 45° angle to almost 90°. The increased g-forces made seizing control of the plane incredibly difficult for the hijackers. It also caused the aircraft to descend quickly. Eventually, the airplane crashed outside Cleveland, Ohio, killing approximately thirty three people, including the hijackers

### Events aboard Delta Airlines Flight 2020

The aircraft intended to be landed at John F. Kennedy international Airport as part of the climax of the attacks was Delta Airlines Flight 2020, a Boeing 757-200 flying from Miami, Florida, to Nashville, Tennessee. This plane was to be taken by a team of five hijackers, led by Amir Al-Wahhbib, a native of Saudi Arabia. At the time of the flight, a thunderstorm warning had been broadcast for Florida and Tennessee.

At 7:30 AM, exactly half an hour following the shootings in Pennsylvania, Al-Qaedijat Al-Jadida terrorists, led by Lebanese native Amir Al-Wahhbib, checked into Miami International Airport between 7:15 AM and 7:39 AM. At 7:30 AM, hijacker Abdullah Al-Shehhri checked in without any luggage while his close friend and fellow terrorist, Muta Al-Assad checked in two bags. At 7:40 AM, the leader of the cadre, Amir Al-Wahhbib, checked in with Farid Abdulaziz. Both of them checked in two bags.

At 7:45 AM, Abdullah Al-Shehhri and Farid Abdulaziz boarded Delta Airlines Flight 2020, a Boeing 757-200 owned by Delta Airlines and the aircraft they intended to hijack as part of the Second Planes Operation. One minute later, Osama Banihammad, Amir Al-Wahhbib and Farid Abdulaziz boarded.

Delta Airlines Flight 2020 was scheduled to depart at 8:00 AM, but because of a ten minute delay, it did not push from the gate until 8:10 AM. Another delay due to congestion on the runway prior to takeoff led to the plane departing at 8:35 AM.

### "Rain Fire!"

During the unexpected twenty five minute delay, the NCU executed Phase Two of the attacks, a series of coordinated drone strikes targeting airliners flown by or containing Muslim passengers and/or crew members. The first strike targeted Saudia Flight 111, flying from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to Seoul, Korea, which was destroyed by an MQ-9 Reaper drone and killed all 44 passengers and crew on board. The second was Turkish Airlines Flight 231, The second targeted flight was Emirates Flight 1990, targeted with a MQ-1 Predator and killing all fifty passengers and crew. The third was Turkish Airlines Flight 19, a non-stop flight from Ankara, Turkey, to New York City, NY, which was destroyed by an MQ-1 Predator and killed all forty passengers and crew. While all this was happening, Delta Airlines Flight 2020 was still sitting on the tarmac awaiting the go-ahead from air traffic controllers to take off.

### Attempted hijacking of Delta Airlines Flight 555

The aircraft was boarded by a team of five Al-Qaeidat Al-Jadida terrorists, led by Hibaan Al-Sotani, Nadheer el-Siddique, Fareed Al-Zadel ahd Wabdul Wahaab Al-Habib, among 40 passengers. Hibaan and Nadheer both boarded at 9:25 AM, approximately two minutes before the hijacking of Delta Airlines Flight 2020. Delta Airlines Flight 555 took off at 9:37 AM, while the hijacking of Delta Airlines Flight 2020 was unfolding. Unfortunately for the team of hijackers, the passengers and crew were warned in advance, not of the hijacking of Delta Airlines Flight 2020, but the drone attacks against other flights. This led passengers and crew to assume that the team of five Middle Eastern men that had boarded their flight also had weaponized drones and were planning to use them, despite other passengers expressing skepticism that drones would even work at a cruising altitude of about 31,000 feet (the height at which Delta Airlines Flight 555 was flying when the hijacking occurred).

### Targeting the Islamic World

After learning of the foiled attempted hijacking of Delta Airlines Flight 555, the NCU proceeded with phase two of their plan: a series of coordinated drone attacks and mass shootings against various Islamic landmarks in the Middle East, United States, and Europe.

The first place struck was the Kabba in Mecca, which was destroyed by drones in a coordinated drone strike and killing approximately 100,000. The second was the Taj Mahal in India, also destroyed in a drone strike. The third was the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, Israel, killing 300 people.

The third attack occurred in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. At about 9:40 AM local time, Turkey, NCU operatives executed an utterly indiscriminate assault on the city, slaughtering innocent people and law enforcement alike with rifles and machine guns while chanting Islamophobic slurs and slogans.

The fourth strike took place in Tehran, Iran. NCU sleeper agents posing as tourists detonated chemical bombs in various areas across the capital city, killing an estimated 3,000.

A fifth strike occurred at Istanbul, Turkey. An NCU cell led by ex-USMC officer Dominic Reeves launched a bloody massacre at a shopping mall in the city, firing scores of rounds at the fleeing civilians and armed security guards within the facility, and coldly executing the injured while also chanting Islamophobic slurs. Most notably, many of the shooters chanted, "Justice for 9/11! Blood for Blood! Death to Islam!" Many guards attempted to engage the terrorists, only to be gunned down due to their inferior firepower.

### Hijacking of Delta Airlines Flight 2020

The exact time in which Delta Airlines Flight 2020 had been hijacked is unclear, due to the passengers and crew involved with foiling the hijacking plot giving inconsistent and contradictory time frames. According to Ralph Rager, a passenger on board Delta Airlines Flight 2020, the hijacking of Delta Airlines Flight 2020 started at around 9:27 AM-9:28 AM (interestingly, this series of events was an eerie parallel to the hijacking of United Airlines Flight 93 during the 9/11 Attacks years earlier), but according to passenger Dana Harker, the hijacking occurred at 9:30 AM.

According to Ralph's siblings Sierra Rager and Brock Rager, the hijacking began with terrorist Muta Al-Assad stabbing the throat of passenger Mort Bennington while Farid Abdulaziz and Abdullah Al-Shehhri held flight attendant Peggy Waltman hostage at knifepoint, using her as a hostage to force their way into the cockpit and kill the pilots, 49-year old captain Harry Enders and 40-year old First Officer Leonardo Sanderson. While this was happening, according to Sierra and Brock's parents Donna and Andre Rager, hijackers Farid Abdulaziz and Abdullah Al-Shehhri moved the passengers and crew to the rear of the plane. Andre revealed in his interview with the authorities that he'd made detailed observations while he and the other passengers and crew were moved to the rear of the plane, commenting on how the hijackers had essentially copied the modus operandi of the 9/11 hijackers during the original September 11 Attacks.

Corroborating statements from other passengers and crew helped to confirm that this was indeed an attempt at replicating the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks. Curiously, unlike the 9/11 terrorist attacks, none of the hijackers were seen carrying a bomb.

According to passenger Jack Davros and his girlfriend Dana Harker, who were traveling to Nashville, Tennessee, only four hijackers were seen, leading authorities to conclude that Amir waited until first two hijackers killed the pilots and the other two hijackers moved passengers and crew to the rear of the plane, before taking control of the aircraft. This was corroborated by fellow passenger Rodney Batt, his sisters Carly and Laura Batt, and his parents Lionel and Julie Batt.

Rodney claimed that both he and Ralph Rager overheard Amir talking suspiciously with Farid Abdulaziz. Because he understood Arabic, Rodney realized that Amir and Farid were plotting to hijack the aircraft, but the plan was kicked into motion before he could report Amir and Farid to the flight crew. During an interview with authorities later, Rodney recounted that Amir told Farid that he would wait until the pilots were killed and the passengers and crew moved to the rear of the aircraft before taking over the controls. He also detailed that in response, Farid simply smiled and recited the *takbir*. He also testified that he'd seen Amir sitting and waiting patiently with a "look of bloodlust" in his eyes while he and the other passengers were forced to the back of the plane.

He'd estimated that Amir had to have taken control of the aircraft at around 9:40 AM, because he heard Amir making an announcement to the passengers and crew at 9:45 AM, saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, we regret to inform you that your regularly scheduled in-flight entertainment has been canceled. The weapons my men have are real, so is their desire to use them if provoked. We are willing to do whatever is necessary to bring down the hegemony of the United States and her allies. If you do as you are told, you will not be harmed. If you try to interfere with our activities, you will be publicly executed."

Andre Rager, remembering how he'd learned of the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks years earlier, concluded that the hijackers on the flight attempted to replicate the 9/11 Attacks in some way and immediately informed the other passengers and crew that they needed to storm the cockpit and retake control of the aircraft. By this time, Al-Wahhib instructed the aircraft's autopilot to turn the plane and head east, towards New York.

Passenger and former military commando Derek Westbrook corroborated Andre's story, recounting a conversation he'd had with Andre about how they were going to retake the plane. According to Ralph Rager and Sierra Rager, it was discovered that Dana Harker's boyfriend Jack Stavros was a licensed pilot. Unlike the passengers on Flight 93, there was no vote to rush the hijackers, as everyone had the memory of 9/11 fresh in their minds at this point.

Instead, the passengers and crew immediately went to work formulating a plan of action to retake the plane. Passenger Lewis Carter recounted how prior to forming a plan to retake the plane, Ralph Rager made a rousing speech in which he made multiple references to 9/11 and that regardless of whether the plane was going to be used as a weapon against people on the ground or not, he was absolutely "determined to ensure this day didn't become another 9/11."

Derek Westbrook, a former US Army special operations commando and the tallest passenger on the flight, with a height of six-foot-five-and-a-half and weighing around 210 pounds, testified that he'd personally volunteered to lead the charge alongside the Rager family and Batt family, some of whom also happened to be ex-military and all of whom were confirmed to be trained martial artists. According to Ralph Rager, the plan was for Derek Westbrook and any other able-bodied passenger to either incapacitate or kill the hijackers inside the cockpit before Jack Stavros would assume control of the plane and land it. Jackson Newton, another passenger on the flight, was a former football quarterback who knew Mixed Martial Arts.

### The Battle of Flight 2020

At 10:35 AM, the passengers executed their counterattack against the hijackers. To kick off the attack, passenger Lewis Carter incapacitated hijacker Farid Abdulaziz, who was guarding the passengers in the back of the plane, with a knee strike before Andre Rager and Lionel Batt killed him by with improvised weapons found in the cabin. According to video footage shot by Sierra Rager, Andre threw boiling water at Farid, blinding him, and Lionel Batt killed him by bludgeoning him to death with a fire extinguisher.

According to a leaked transcript of the cockpit voice recorder and the audio recording itself, the hijackers became aware of the passenger counterattack around 10:37:25, two minute and twenty five seconds after it had begun. As the passenger counterattack unfolded, the aircraft deviated from its New York City course. Amir Al-Wahhib was heard asking on the cockpit voice recorder, "What is going on over there?" Fellow hijacker Osama Banihammad, who was in the cockpit with Al-Wahhib, told Amir that the passengers were fighting back. At exactly 10:38:00, Al-Wahhib proceeded to roll the plane violently to disrupt the attack.

Video footage of the passenger counterattack shot by Sierra Rager showed Andre Rager asking someone, "What the hell is that asshole doing?"

In response, another voice, confirmed to be that of Lionel Batt, replied, "Trying to stall us! Keep moving!" Seven minutes later, at 10:45:00, Al-Wahhib proceeded to pitched the nose of the airplane up and down to disrupt the assault. Video footage from Sierra Rager's phone and corroborating evidence from other passengers and crew members, as well as the leaked Cockpit Voice Recorder transcript, revealed that the passengers were able to overwhelm, overpower and kill hijacker Muta Al-Assad, who was standing guard outside the cockpit; the footage reveals that Muta attempted to hold the passengers back with pepper spray and a fire extinguisher before Ralph Rager tackled him to the ground.

The cockpit voice recorder picked up the sounds of what appeared to be growling noises along with Muta screaming. Sierra's cell phone footage reveals that Ralph had bitten Muta during their hand-to-hand fight and gouged out his eyes, before beating him to death. At 10:45:15, Amir resumed pitching the nose of the plane up and down to disrupt the passenger counterattack.

As was with United Airlines Flight 93, the CVR captured the sound of the passengers using a food service trolley as a battering ram against the cockpit door. At 10:45:25, the voice of Ralph Rager was heard shouting, "In the cockpit or we die!" Ten seconds later, at 10:38:35, a passenger, identified via the video footage as Rodney Batt, cried, "Roll it!" in reference to using the food cart. At 10:38:40, Al-Wahhib ceased the violent maneuvers and asked one hijacker-identified via video footage as Abdullah Al-Shehhri-whether to crash the plane. The other hijacker responded, "Yes, put it in it, and pull it down." Seconds later, Ralph, Brock and Sierra's father Andre was heard attacking Al-Shehhri on the CVR at 10:38:42. Sierra's video footage reveals that Brock, Ralph, Andre, Lionel and Derek were able to get the cockpit door open and attack Al-Shehhri, proving that the passengers had successfully breached the cockpit before the plane crashed, unlike United Airlines Flight 93's passengers, whose efforts to breach the cockpit ended ambiguously.

At 10:39:07, Amir Al-Wahhib was told to crash the plane, with Al-Shehhri repeatedly shouting, "Pull it down! Pull it down!" while the passenger counterattack continued. In response, Amir Al-Wahhib sent the plane into a nose dive, seconds before the Rager brothers and their parents overpowered him. However, because the plane deviated from its New York City course and was now over the Atlantic Ocean, the aircraft impacted water, not solid ground, as opposed to Flight 93, which crashed into an empty field near a reclaimed coal strip mine in Pennsylvania and killed everyone on board. It is unknown whether hijackers Amir Al-Wahhib and Abdullah Al-Shehhri were killed before or during the crash, due to the live-streaming of Sierra's footage being cut off by the plane crash.
