cars and planes take place in the same universe. in the cars movies, we see sentient cars boarding sentient planes.

so, was this still a hijacking? how do you hijack a sentient plane?

Maybe Bin Laden recruited radicalised Boeings.

Maybe the Towers were whistleblowers

Maybe they never built WTC in this universe.

*gets thrown out of a window*

there are too many historical references in the films for this to be a simple oversight.

my favourite will always be that the car pope is in cars 2, in the glass cube of the popemobile. the popemobile only has the glass sides because of an assassination attempt in the 1970s, which means that there has textually been a car pope assassination attempt in this universe.

I have never seen any Cars related movie, but isnt there a TSA scene or signage somewhere in a airport area?

Boeings are built radicalized.

Promise it 72 flights for Virgin Atlantic after the deed is done

This checks out with the theory that the Cars universe is set far into the future where insects have evolved into looking like vehicles.

I think in cars 2 someone turns a MASSIVE boat around against its will, I imagine planes might also work the same way

And we know this is a fictional story because we know that in real life, terrorists are not sentient.

even worse, that statue implies that France exists in that universe

That would explain the explosions from the Inside. Because it implies that multiple cars destroyed themself to explode the towes.

In real life a sentient being went on a suicide mission to commit 9/11, is this so different
