Whistleblowers - National Security, Government & Armed Forces

Human Rights Violators, National Security, Government & Armed Forces-
THE WHISTLE BLOWERS

It takes a certain type of person to be a Whistle blower. Forget weak people who have no backbone and have never taken a serious stand on any issue. Certainly forget the Wealthy and the Corrupt who throw money around to cover up their crimes. Such people can not be relied anyway, to act in the interests of their country, when Greed is of selfish and Primary Importance to Themselves.

This post presents some of the most famous Whistle blowers who have sought to expose the reality about people in National Security, Government and the Armed Forces. They have
  • Exposed the Secret Rendition Program, Foreign Spy Rings, Nuclear Weapons Trade, etc
  • Exposed Human Rights Violations in different countries as well as torture and abuse in Abu Ghraib.
  • Exposed Disinformation - Fixing Intelligence for political purposes in the lead up to invasions such as Iraq and Iran. Different governments have dared to use this intelligence.
  • Exposed Secret No Bid Contracts involving a President's Associates and Coalition Partners.All instigated in or by a select few from Democratic Countries
Any Whistle blower who exposes blatant violations of state and international laws by their own government and citizens, should receive the highest commendation from their country. Boundaries are clearly defined in many transparent legal instruments.

ERNEST BACKES
Ernest Backes (1946, Trier, Germany) was #3 of clearing chamber Clearstream (formerly Cedel), in charge of relations with clients, and was fired in May 1983. According to himself, he was "fired because (he) knew too much about the Ambrosiano scandal." Banco Ambrosiano collapsed in 1982, but the scandal wasn't yet public when Ernest Backes was dismissed. Ernest Backes was the primary whistleblower in Revelation$, the book he co-authored with Denis Robert and which in 2001 caused the Clearstream scandal. In 1971, he was hired by Cedel, set up in 1970 by a consortium of 66 international banks. With Gérard Soisson, Cedel's manager, he helped design and install Cedel’s computerized accounting system in the 1970s.

SHAWN CARPENTER

Shawn Carpenter is an American Navy veteran and whistleblower (previously employed by Sandia National Laboratories) who tracked down a Chinese cyberespionage ring that is code-named Titan Rain by the FBI. He came to national attention when his story was reported on in the September 5, 2005 issue of Time magazine.

After informing his supervisors of the breaches, he was told that his only concern was Sandia computers, and to drop the issue. His employment was later terminated when Carpenter disobeyed his management and communicated the information about the security breaches to the United States Army and the FBI. He was a confidential informant for the FBI for almost half a year before Sandia discovered his actions. Carpenter reportedly felt betrayed by the termination, as he viewed his actions were a service to his country, similar to that of his previous military service.

KATHARINE TERESA GUN
Gun is a former employee of Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), a British intelligence agency. In 2003 she leaked top-secret information to the press concerning alleged illegal activities by the United States and the United Kingdom in their push for the 2003 invasion of Iraq. On January 31, 2003, she received an e-mail from a United States National Security Agency official named Frank Koza. This e-mail requested aid in a secret and illegal operation to bug the United Nations offices of six nations: Angola, Cameroon, Guinea, Pakistan, Mexico and Chile. These were the six "swing nations" on the UN Security Council that could determine whether the UN approved of the invasion of Iraq. The plan clearly violated the Vienna Conventions, which regulate global diplomacy. Gun leaked the email to The Observer, hoping to prevent the war. After her revelation, she was fired from GCHQ. "I have no regrets and I would do it again", she said.

ADRIENNE KINNE

Adrienne Kinne served in the US Army and Army Reserves from 1994 through 2004 as an Arabic linguist in military intelligence. She was activated in the Reserves for two years following the events of 9/11 and served stateside in direct support of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan as a voice interceptor. She now works in the Department of Veterans Affairs as a health science specialist (psychology) and as the New England Regional Coordinator for Iraq Veterans Against the War. She lives in Vermont.

In 2008, Adrienne Kinne, a former U.S. military intelligence officer, revealed that she had seen secret documents listing the Palestine Hotel as a possible military target prior to the 2003 shelling incident. Reports from Kinne suggest that the attack on the hotel was a deliberate attempt to control news coverage of the U.S. invasion of Iraq as the Palestine Hotel was a popular place for international journalists.

DAVE LARSON
On January 08, 2008 a Whistleblower named Dave Larson made significant disclosures to the Dept. of Defense Office of the Inspector General and to Senate members substantiating allegations made by Russ Tice and which detailed unlawful criminal acts committed under Special Access Program (SAP) provisions. This matter remains pending and current with the Dept. of Defense Inspector General as case #103586.

Dave Larson has been involved in the development of government funded implantable medical device technology since March 1997, as a Biomedical Engineering student, research subject, Microsoft Certified Technician, programmer and FCC licensed operator KI6JJN. His site details the ongoing legal effort regarding criminal misconduct and abuse of Defense Special Access Program provisions, and a campaign for government ethics and reform. A "Special Access Program" (or "SAP") is described as "a uniform system for classifying, safeguarding, and declassifying national security information" by the U.S. Department of Defense, more commonly known as "black projects". His site details one such project that may well be the darkest, blackest, highly classified project ever to receive public exposure. Extensive research efforts, ongoing legal efforts, and Freedom of Information requests have resulted in the factual data, and comprehensive documentation explicitly detailing U.S. Government efforts to develop implantable medical device technology for deployment as a Defense Tactical Weapon, and Intelligence Tool. What began in 1997 as an inquiry has evolved into a moral and ethical dilemma that has personnel from the NIH (Hambrecht, Heetderks and Loeb), the United States Dept. of Defense (Col. Ling, and OSD components), the FBI, and Defense Contractor, the Alfred E. Mann Foundation, committing acts of felony criminal misconduct, fraud, and civil rights violations under the protections of "National Security", the Patriot Act and governmental contractual obligations. Civil litigation is being sought in the interest of justice and public interest.

DAVID MACMICHAEL
David MacMichael is a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analyst. A ten-year veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, he was a counter-insurgency expert in South-East Asia for four years. He also served as an analyst for the National Intelligence Council from 1981-1983. MacMichael graduated with an MA and Ph.D. in History from the University of Oregon. MacMichael resigned from the CIA in July 1983 because he felt the Agency was misrepresenting intelligence for political reasons. His public resignation from the Agency gave credence and notability to his vocal indictment of the Reagan Administration's policy toward Central America. He was considered the "key witness" in Nicaragua v. United States. The case was heard in 1986 before the International Court of Justice, which ruled that the United States had violated international law by supporting the Contras in their war against the Nicaraguan government and by mining Nicaragua's harbors. MacMichael also testified in front of Congress on this matter.

STEWART MENZIES
Major General Sir Stewart Graham Menzies, KCB, KCMG, DSO, MC (pronounced "mingis", with a hard 'g') (30 January 1890 – 29 May 1968) was Chief of MI6, British Secret Intelligence Service, during and after World War II. He joined the counterintelligence section of Field Marshall Douglas Haig, and in late 1917 reported to high British leadership that Haig was fudging intelligence estimates, which soon led to Haig's removal. This whistle-blowing was apparently done very discreetly. Following the end of the war, he entered MI6 (later SIS) and became a deputy of its director-general Hugh Sinclair.


In 1924, Menzies was allegedly involved — alongside Sidney Reilly and Desmond Morton — in the forging of The Zinoviev Letter. This forgery is considered to have been instrumental in the Conservative Party's victory in the United Kingdom general election of 1924, which ended the country's first Labour government. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_Menzies

CRAIG MURRAY
Craig Murray (born October, 1958) is a British political activist, former ambassador to Uzbekistan and current Rector of the University of Dundee. While at the embassy in Tashkent, he accused the Karimov administration of human rights abuses, a step which, he argued, was against the wishes of the British government and the reason for his removal. Murray complained to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in November 2002, January or early February 2003, and in June 2004 that intelligence linking the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan to al-Qaeda, suspected of being gained through torture, was unreliable, immoral, and illegal. He described this as "selling our souls for dross". Murray was subsequently removed from his ambassadorial post on October 14, 2004. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_murray / http://www.craigmurray.org.uk/

LANA VANDENBERGH
The circumstances surrounding the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes would not have come to the public's attention without whistleblower Lana Vandenbergh. Lana worked as an administration secretary for the Independent Police Complaints Commission. Jean Charles de Menezes, an innocent man, was shot and killed at Stockwell tube station on the London Underground by police. Initially, police falsely claimed that he was wearing bulky clothing, had vaulted the ticket barriers and run from police. It soon become clear that de Menezes did not vault and run from the police, but police did not correct the misinformation until the correct information was leaked to the press. At first the police tried to cover up this dreadful mistake. Vandenbergh leaked details of the police enquiry, which was very different from the version then in the public domain. http://wikileaks.org/wiki/Lana_Vandenbergh

ANDREW WILKIE
Andrew Wilkie (born 1961, Tamworth, Australia) is a former soldier and intelligence analyst who resigned from the Office of National Assessments (ONA), an Australian intelligence agency, in March 2003 over concerns that intelligence was being misrepresented for political purposes in making the case for Australia's contribution to the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

In the run-up to the 2003 Iraq war, the Australian, UK and U.S. governments were asserting that intelligence reports showed that Iraq held weapons of mass destruction. Wilkie resigned at this time, claiming that the reports did not support such claims and in the years since his resignation, no valid evidence supporting the pre-war claims of weapons of mass destruction has ever been found. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Wilkie

BASSEM YOUSSEF
Mr. Youssef is the highest ranking Arab-American agent employed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He is currently a Unit Chief in the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division. Prior to holding his current position, Mr. Youssef coordinated the national counterterrorism investigation into the Islamic Group (the organization responsible for the first World Trade Center bombing). He speaks fluent Arabic (the highest ranking FBI official with this skill).

In 2002, Youssef blew the whistle to the director of the FBI and Congress that discriminatory practices within the Bureau were undermining the effectiveness of America’s counterterrorism efforts. Speaking publicly for the first time on the subject, the Egyptian-born Youssef said that FBI officials consider that “cultural understanding of the Middle East and radical Islamic groups, as well as the Arabic language, was unnecessary” in conducting counterterrorism investigations. Although the FBI has claimed to be “working hard to get Arabic-speaking agents,” Youssef said he has been completely sidelined since the September 11 attacks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bassem_Youssef / http://www.ala.org/ala/alonline/currentnews/newsarchive/2008/january2008/bassemyoussef.cfm

Remote Control Technology - Interfering With Mobile Phones, IEDs and Vehicles




Scratching at the Surface of
REMOTE CONTROLLED MILITARY/CIVILIAN TECHNOLOGY -





MOBILE PHONES,
IEDS AND CARS/VEHICLES

This post scratches at the surface of what communications and electronic technology is commercially available today and has been used in the past by Terrorists, the Armed Forces and Security Services. We can not ignore the fact that this technology was available first in many cases, to the Armed Forces and Security Services.



Everyone knows James Bond and his many gadgets. Personally, I find 007 rather Embarrassing. Why? He has fueled the fantasises of too many men. Regardless, People should have a serious interest in 007 technology and gadgets because they often become reality later.

MOBILE CELL PHONES - WHERE ARE WE NOW?


GPS Tracking - A GPS tracking unit is a device that uses the Global Positioning System to determine the precise location of a vehicle, person, or other asset to which it is attached and to record the position of the asset at regular intervals. Such systems are not new; amateur radio operators have been operating their free GPS based nationwide realtime Automatic Position Reporting System since 1982.

FBI Taps Cell Phone Mic as Eavesdropping Tool (December 2006) - CNET News.com
The FBI appears to have begun using a novel form of electronic surveillance in criminal investigations: remotely activating a mobile phone's microphone and using it to eavesdrop on nearby conversations. The technique is called a "roving bug," and was approved by top U.S. Department of Justice officials for use against members of a New York organized crime family who were wary of conventional surveillance techniques such as tailing a suspect or wiretapping him.

'This goes no further...' (2 March 2004) BBC. Following revelations about bugging at the United Nations, is there any way of ensuring that your private conversations stay that way? The most powerful tool for the modern spy is the mobile phone. Mobiles that double as listening devices can be bought over the internet.

Remotely Activated Mobile Phone Microphones
Some mobile phone microphones can be activated remotely, without any need for physical access, even when the phone is switched off. This roving bug feature is reportedly being used by law enforcement agencies and intelligence services to listen in on nearby conversations. While it is not possible to do this with every mobile phone as of 2006, some models are susceptible to being remotely reprogrammed (over the air using methods meant for delivering upgrades (Firmware updates) and maintenance) with this capability without the knowledge of its owner. Examples for such mobile phones are Motorola Razr and Samsung 900 series mobile phones.

Mobile Tracking Devices on Trial (24 February 2006) Your mobile phone is a beacon - a radio transmitter in a box. Therefore it is possible to trace the signal and work out where it is. There are now several web companies which will track your friends' and family's phones for you, so you always know where they are.

F.B.I. Seeks Access to Mobile Phone Locations (17 July 1998) - Director Louis J. Freeh of the F.B.I. has asked members of a Senate committee to change the Justice Department appropriations bill to require telephone companies to provide police agencies with the precise location of cellular phone users, in some cases without a court order. After learning last week of Mr. Freeh's meeting with members of the Appropriations Committee, civil liberties groups and the telecommunications industry began marshaling opposition. Privacy advocates say the proposal is a dangerous and unconstitutional invasion of privacy, and the telecommunications industry predicts that implementing such a law would cost billions of dollars.

IEDS (Improvised Explosive Device) and MOBILE PHONES - PAST AND FUTURE

Network Technologies for Networked Terrorists - Assessing the Value of Information and Communication Technologies to Modern Terrorist Organizations - RAND Homeland Security

Early generations of terrorist detonation devices could frequently be jammed because they could only receive transmitted signals on a limited number of frequencies. In the future, a single PDA or smart phone will likely be able to receive information using conventional cell-phone signals or WiFi, as well as Bluetooth or other available communication signals. The diversity of signals could make jamming devices based on these technologies difficult. Furthermore, in certain areas, wireless communication on those frequencies may be so critical to providing emergency services or other public or private functions that it may not be possible to jam them at all.

IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVE DEVICE (IED) FACT SHEET

Powered Portable Cellphone Jammers - The C-Guard EXP is a portable cellphone jamming device that can block different cellular frequency bands and networks simultaneously, used by EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) units to prevent detonation while the team neutralizes Cellular IED threats and satellite phone IED threats. Attached to explosive devices or home made bombs, the cellphones can be operated from any distance, allowing terrorists to escape from crime arena and activate the improvised bomb remotely. The cell phone attached to the IED acts as a receiver, once it receives a signal from a phone transmitter it causes detonation.

This brief scoping paper is based on over 5,000 news items warehoused by OSS Southeast Asia, and additional OSINT collection. At the end of the paper is a table of gisted reports of those IED incidents reported to be remotely initiated, together with other items such as reports of counter-measures. The focus is Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines.

Curbing the Roadside Bomber JANES Security News (12 December 2005) - Rupert Pengelley - The proliferation of remote-control improvised explosive devices in Iraq and Afghanistan has led to a seesawing battle between measure and countermeasure technologies. Terrorists first began to make significant use of radio transmitters and other forms of commercially available remote-control (RC) switches to initiate improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in the 1980s. Since then the business of countering such initiators has been kept under wraps for understandable operational reasons.

MADRID BOMBINGS - How The (Mobile Phone) Devices Worked JANES Terrorism & Insurgency Center - JTIC TERRORISM CASE STUDY No.1 : THE MADRID RAIL BOMBINGS

The devices used mobile phones as initiation mechanisms, with the language settings in Spanish. Each mobile phone was pre-set to alarm at a designated time and set on vibrate mode. It is understood that the IEDs were not booby-trapped. The ability to wire a mobile phone ringer circuit to a detonating cap is a delicate operation that requires an individual to be well trained.

The use of mobile phone triggers is now well within the capabilities of a variety of Islamist militant groups, including elements of the Zarqawi network, Jemaah Islamiyya (JI) and Palestinian factions. National separatist groups such as ETA and the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) are also well-versed in such techniques and were among the first groups to use them successfully.

Terrorists have noted operational failures stemming from the incorrect setting of a phone's alarm. This sometimes prompts the use of remote 'detonation-on-demand' tactics, which may involve calling or sending text messages to the mobile phone. Terrorists are also aware of the risks of identification through inadvertent capture and analysis of the SIM card and various methods have been used in an effort to overcome this. However, for security reasons, the specific details cannot be discussed here.

CELL PHONES AND IEDS IN THE NEWS SINCE 2003

WASHINGTON -- Cell phones found during the investigation of the recent terrorist bombing in Saudi Arabia were rigged to detonate explosives by remote control, the FBI said Wednesday, urging U.S. law enforcement officials to be on the lookout for such devices.

WHERE ARE WE WITH DRIVERLESS / REMOTE CONTROL OF VEHICLES / CARS?

Dickmann's Mercedes 500 SEL



1994: Autonomous vision-based VaMP robot of Dickmanns and UniBW drives in Paris traffic, tracking up to 12 other cars simultaneously. The "VAmP" Mercedes 500 SEL drives more than 1000 km on the Paris multi-lane ring, up to 130 km/h, automatically passing slower cars in the left lane.

1995: UniBW Munich's fast Mercedes robot does 1,000 autonomous miles on the highway - in traffic. The famous S-class car of Dickmanns and UniBW autonomously drives 1,678 km on public Autobahns from Munich to Denmark and back, at up to 180 km/h, automatically passing other cars.

Vehicle Tracking System - A vehicle tracking system is an electronic device installed in a vehicle to enable the owner or a third party to track the vehicle's location. Most modern vehicle tracking systems use Global Positioning System (GPS) modules for accurate location of the vehicle. Many systems also combine a communications component such as cellular or satellite transmitters to communicate the vehicle’s location to a remote user. Vehicle information can be viewed on electronic maps via the Internet or specialized software.

DRIVERLESS VEHICLE PROJECTS

The VaMP Driverless Car was one of the first truly autonomous cars along with its twin vehicle, the VITA-2. They were able to drive in heavy traffic for long distances without human intervention, using computer vision to recognize rapidly moving obstacles such as other cars, and automatically avoid and pass them. The VaMP was constructed by the team of Ernst Dickmanns at Universität der Bundeswehr München and Mercedes-Benz in the 1990s as part of the 800 million ECU EUREKA Prometheus Project on autonomous vehicles (1987-1995).

In 1995, Dickmanns´ re-engineered autonomous S-Class Mercedes-Benz took a 1600 km trip from Munich in Bavaria to Copenhagen in Denmark and back, using saccadic computer vision and transputers to react in real time. The robot achieved speeds exceeding 175 km/h on the German Autobahn, with a mean time between human interventions of 9km, or 95% autonomous driving. Again it drove in traffic, executing manoeuvres to pass other cars. Despite being a research system without emphasis on long distance reliability, it drove up to 158 km without human intervention. The 500 SEL Mercedes was re-engineered so that it was possible to control steering wheel, throttle, and brakes through computer commands based on real-time evaluation of image sequences. Software was written that translated sensory data into appropriate driving commands.

Video of Self-Driving Cars on HowStuffWorks. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is an agency of the U.S. Department of Defense that's responsible for the development of new technology for use by the military. Their latest project is to encourage the development of vehicles that will drive themselves, autonomously.


Control of Vehicle As automotive technology matures, more and more functions of the underlying engine, gearbox etc. are no longer directly controlled by the driver by mechanical means, but rather via a computer, which receives instructions from the driver as inputs and delivers the desired effect by means of
electronic throttle control, and other drive-by-wire elements. Therefore, the technology for a computer to control all aspects of a vehicle is well understood.

Navigation System The ability to plot a route from where the vehicle is to where the user wants to be has been available for several years. These systems, based on the US military's Global Positioning System are now available as standard car fittings, and use satellite transmissions to ascertain the current location, and an on-board street database to derive a route to the target. The more sophisticated systems also receive radio updates on road blockages, and adapt accordingly. Refer Automotive navigation system



DRIVER-ASSISTANCE COMPONENTS
The following products and projects do not aim to create a fully autonomous car. They are seen as incremental stepping-stones in that direction. Many of the technologies detailed below will probably serve as components of any future driverless car. Driver-assistance mechanisms are of several distinct types, sensorial-informative, actuation-corrective, and systemic.

Sensorial-informative
These systems warn or inform the driver about events that may have passed unnoticed.
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), eg Iteris. Rear-view alarm, to detect obstacles behind. This system gets activated when the reverse gear is engaged. Visibility aids for the driver, to cover blind spots and enhanced vision systems such as radar, wireless vehicle safety communications and night vision.

Actuation-corrective
These systems modify the driver's instructions so as to execute them in a more effective way, eg ABS, power steering is just a convenience. Anti-lock braking system (ABS) (also Emergency Braking Assistance (EBA), often coupled with Electronic brake force distribution (EBD), which prevents the brakes from locking and losing traction while braking. Traction control (TCS) actuates brakes or reduces throttle to restore traction if driven wheels begin to spin. Four wheel drive (AWD) distributes power to all four wheels and lessens the chances of wheel spin. It also suffers less from oversteer and understeer. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) (also known for Mercedes-Benz proprietary Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Acceleration Slip Regulation (ASR) and Electronic differential lock (EDL). Uses various sensors to intervene when the car senses a possible loss of control. The car's control unit can reduce power from the engine and even apply the brakes on individual wheels to prevent the car from understeering or oversteering. Dynamic steering response (DSR) corrects the rate of power steering system to adapt it to vehicle's speed and road conditions.

Systemic
Automatic parking: e.g. technology from Toyota. The Lexus LS can park itself (parallel/reverse) via the 'Advanced Parking Guidance System' – though only controlling the steering. Death Brake; there is a move to introduce deadman's braking into automotive application, primarily heavy vehicles, and there may also be a need to add penalty switches to cruise controls.

This post is dedicated to Princess Diana and also someone else I knew, who was killed in a road accident. In both cases there were Motives for removing these people.

D&D's inquest focused on excessive speed, alcohol, seat belts and flashing lights. The ignorant mass naturally bought into these reasons, simply because so many other car accidents have been attributed to these causes.

Given advanced communications technology and remote electronics systems available at the time, why didn't anyone challenge and expose what else could have interfered with the electronics in this vehicle and on their persons? Diana's Mobile Phone went conveniently missing.

Security/Intelligence Services - 9/11 Maths in Pictures!

SECURITY/INTELLIGENCE SERVICES WORLDWIDE, PLEASE COME FORWARD!

YOU KNEW about 9/11 BASIC MATHS in PICTURES and NUMEROLOGY.

This post presents some of the pictures of arithmetic/maths and numerology used for planning/displaying 9/11. The maths is elementary. Take a look for yourself.

We can SAFELY assume different Security/Intelligence Services checked the numbers in 9/11 and considered whether they might play a role later, in other Mass Casualty Incidents. So what did the Security Services actually know in advance of 11/3, 7/7 and 11/7, based on Maths and Numerology? Everyone has access to the pictures.....

I have listed below UN member states with their date of admission to the UN and some of the security/intelligence agencies connected with these countries. The UN Date of Admission list was taken from http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2006/org1469.doc.htm. [Notes] can be found there.

Seven Angels Are About To Arrive, Are They? Or, Are They Already Here?!

There were Seven Churchgates in Mumbai as well ........

NB I don't do Religion.

The Twin Towers had a Building Value of 2/II/Two/Twins








The Pentagon has a Building Value of 5/V/Five/Pentagon








If these buildings were hit because of their Numerical Value then V+II=VII, 2+5=25/7, 11+5=16, etc. What do Satellite Images show from above? What were/are these buildings called? Perhaps one building was more important (complete destruction) than the other (cosmetic destruction).

On 9/11 the total value of buildings hit was 7/VII/Seven. The number seven also appears

Look at the Flight Numbers and the Total by Airline

AA11 > 1 + 1 = 2
UA175 > 1 + 7 + 5 = 13 / 1 + 3 = 4
AA77 > 7 + 7 = 14 / 1 + 4 = 5
UA93 > 9 + 3 = 12 / 1 + 2 = 3


AA11 (2) + AA77 (5) = 7 (American Airlines) (Mirror Letters/Numbers = AA, 11 & 77)

UA175 (4) + UA93 (3) = 7 (United Airlines)


* * *

Only Odd Numbers Appear In Dates and Flight Numbers

AA11, UA175, AA77 & UA93 : 1, 1, 1, 3, 5, 7, 7, 7, 9

* * *

Look at Airport Codes for Departure and Arrival of Flights

Depart - Arrive
BOS Boston - LAX Los Angeles
BOS Boston - LAX Los Angeles
IAD Washington - LAX Los Angeles
EWR Newark - SFO San Francisco

Departures: BOS, IAD, EWR Airports - Anglo Roots
Arrivals: LAX, SFO - Spanish, French & Religious Roots

Only LAX Los Angeles flights hit buildings, with a total value of seven. Could be calculated as 7 Angels.
