Give it a rest.

<...I know a lot of airline pilots doubted the incredible amount of planning and experience to use three separate airliners to accomplish such a diabolical mission.

Bet you can't show us even one pilot who said this. Has it ever occurred to you what kind of precision is necessary to get airliners from all over the world to converge on a certain airport and land at specific times? Yet this happens every day.

You simply could not hide the technology and systems required to "remote control" an airliner. You couldn't hide it from the pilots, you couldn't hide it from the flight engineers, and you sure as hell couldn't hide it from the maintenance crew. We're not just talking actuation systems, but the huge number of devices required to feed back enough info to fly a plane by remote control. Have you ever seen what's inside the cockpit of a plane that HAS been outfitted for complete remote control? There's barely room for a person to squeeze in for adjustments.

This kind of crap is generated by technologically butt-ignorant fools who probably lift their legs off the airplane floor when a plane takes off. Reading their stuff is a waste of brain capacity, and you should probably ignore it.
