from daily kos: WikiScanner discovered that American Airlines changed their Wikipedia entry to state that Flights 11 and 77 never flew on 9/11.
Original entry was:
Two American Airlines aircraft were hijacked and crashed during the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack: American Airlines Flight 77 (a Boeing 757) and American Airlines Flight 11 (a Boeing 767).
New entry is:
Two American Airlines aircraft were hijacked and crashed during the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack: Flight 77 (a Boeing 757) and Flight 11 (a Boeing 767). Although these flights were daily departures before and a month after September 11, 2001. Neither flight 11 nor 77 were scheduled on September 11, 2001. The records kept by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (www.bts.gov/gis/) do not list either flight that day.
A Google search of the IP address that made the change - 144.9.8.21 - is located at American Airlines.
Why the change American airlines? Did the flights actually operate or did we just imagine all of that? ...
Go to their website www.aa.com to tell them what you think.
update: american airlines visits media monarchy
i love it when corporations come & read stories about themselves...

I’d read before that these planes remained in service after 911, so this is confirmation.
Perhaps the wiki editor is a covert whistleblower.
I’m surprised that you seem to be a bit indignant [if I read you correctly]. We’re so attached to ‘true reality’ of external objects that don’t exist as they appear to us. When we apply the same blind attachment to the reality of our thoughts and opinions, including our adherence to stories that others have told us, it’s really self-defeating.
Perhaps it’s accurate info; perhaps not. In either case, surely you agree that the truth about all of the flights on 911 is very different from what we’ve been led to believe.

Whoops. My apologies. Happened just now upon this report on the DKos site and see the outrage-shock is from that ‘Only Ostriches Allowed’ site.
Though one dKos commenter claims to have identified the poster as a 27-year old AA employee who took the content from http://www.serendipity.li/wot/aa_flts/aa_flts.htm
Thanks for your interesting and valuable program,
