The plot thickens:
A Portland Jetport video camera recorded the two passing through a security checkpoint at 5:53 a.m. Tuesday. They boarded a 6 a.m. USAirways Flight 5930 bound for Boston.

In Portland, authorities focused their attention on US Airways Flight 5930, a commuter plane with 19 seats that left at 6 a.m. for Boston, Portland Transportation Director Jeff Monroe said.

Today investigators focused attention on US Airways Flight 5930, a commuter plane with 19 seats that left Portland International Jetport for Boston's Logan International Airport at 6 a.m. Tuesday.
FBI agents asked to review surveillance videotapes from security checkpoints at the Portland airport, a relatively small facility where three airlines out of nine have daily connections in Boston, according to local Police Chief Michael Chitwood.
Federal investigators told Chitwood they were interested in early morning flights Tuesday from Portland to Boston and were focusing on two men believed to have passed through airport security at 5:53 a.m., Chitwood said.
Based on a still color photograph taken from the video images, Chitwood described both men as being in their mid- to late-thirties.
One man, who Chitwood said authorities believe may be a suspect named Mohammed Atta, wore a blue shirt and blue slacks. He carried a man's handbag over his shoulder. The other, who authorities believe may be Abdul Alumari, wore a light, short-sleeved, casual shirt and light-colored pants. He was captured by the camera retrieving a similar, small bag.

In Portland, authorities were focusing their attention on US Airways Flight 5930, a Beech 1900 commuter plane that carried 19 people and left at 6 a.m. for Boston, Portland Transportation Director Jeff Monroe said.

Two of the hijackers apparently came to the United States from Nova Scotia, Canada, crossing the border via a ferry to Bar Harbor, Maine. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Interpol are assisting U.S. law enforcement in retracing these hijackers' steps in Canada.
According to CNN, the plane tickets for seven suspected hijackers were purchased with one credit card. The credit card apparently belonged to a material witness who was picked up in Boston, and not to one of the hijackers.

On the morning of the hijacking, the two brothers rented a car from an Alamo rental desk at Boston's Logan Airport and drove to an airport in Portland. There they got on US Airways Flight 5930 at 6 A.M. headed back to Boston, the sources said. Investigators are analyzing videotapes at the car rental facility and at the Maine airport. Investigators suspect that the two brothers were aboard hijacked United Airlines flight 175, according to the Boston Herald.
<snip>
Information found in another rental car left at Logan Airport, where two of the hijacked flights originated, led investigators to two more pilots: Mohammed Atta and Marwan Yousef Alshehi. The two held passports from the United Arab Emirates. A Florida driver's license was issued to Atta on May 2, 2001, and he previously held an Egyptian driver's license. Federal investigators said both men received training at Huffman Aviation International in Florida.

Hmmmm
Do these people even know to ask Alamo
for the records that will show
at what time that Portland car was rented
by the dead man walking?

One bright day in the middle of night,
Two border-crossing chauffeurs got up to hijack a flight.
They took a ferry, then a chartered plane
which was scheduled as always but never before or again.
A mute onlooker shrieked in fright
And a lame man danced at the ghastly sight.
A deaf policeman heard the noise,
And came to investigate those resurrected boys,
If you don't believe this lie is true,
Ask the blind man he saw it too!
