James Woods, 9/11, Leno

[DoubleDown]

JW is on Leno right now talking about 9/11. He just threw out some claim of how he had fingered two of the 9/11 terrorists on a flight of his some months before 9/11/01, pointed them out to a flight attendant/airplane personnel, but the FAA didn't act on his info as it would be labelled racial profiling. Apparently the terrorist-radar he had in his brain just went off that day and told him something just didnt smell right about those guys on that plane. He later says that the guys he had fingered on that plane were confirmed to be on some of the hijacked 9/11 flights.

This is the 1st I had heard of this. Here is a link I found while doing a preliminary search. I'll post some better ones if I can find some. Had any of y'all heard of this before?

(apologies if this belongs in a different forum.)

I'm not sure why, but I ended up on his Wikipedia page a few months ago where that was mentioned.

JW taking pot-shots at OJ now.
I wonder if he'll start referring to him as OJ bin Simpson.

I was just watching this as well and I never really watch late night shows.

I thought it was weird because the last time I watched Leno was a couple of months ago and JW was on that one also and he was saying a bunch of crazy stuff.

I'm guessing Leno's people just bring him on every once in a while so he can say the most ridiculous [censored] and they can just laugh at him in the editing room.

OP,

Did he finger two random saudis and later claim success?

edit: After all "they all look alike".

Jdub-

according to him he just thought that this group of 4 arab-looking men just looked suspicious and he decided to tell the flt attendant about it. after 9/11 went down he said that he was sure that 2 of the men whom he had fingered on that flight of his were among the hijackers. according to him, this fact along with the confirmation that all 4 men on that flight of his were terrorists had been confirmed to him by "several officials."

he also said that his info proved that moussauoi (the 20th hijacker) was lying in his trial as the french algerian had claimed that the diff hijackers did not know each other and had never met. supposedly hijackers from two diff 9/11 flights were flying a test-run together on JW's flight, according to him.

[TheBlueMonster]

there were articles a while ago about him spotting the future hijackers...
was I the only one who got a little choked up when he talked about his brother?
Seriously great television. Do you remember the last time you watched a talk show where the host didn't say anything and just let the guest talk to for 5 straight minutes? Great great moment.

[pokerspite]

I remember right after 9/11 he was being interviewed by one of the local morning shows about the incident. He claimed he was using the restroom on the flight and one of the hijackers inadvertantly walked in on him and immediately was in awe of his huge penis. He then told the guy if you think that is big you should see my I.Q test scores.

I've heard JW tell this story before, probably on some other talk show.

So are they ever gonna air the JW Guiliani movie again?

[CharlieDontSurf]

I'm almost 100% sure that this is true and was confirmed during the whole "whistleblower" case about the pilot training, FBI not talking with local cops etc etc. Woods supposedly thought it was odd that they were taking notes on the plane, counting passengers etc.

There were several other people who reported similar occurences during some of the test run flights the terroists did from Boston prior to 9/11.
