Correct me if I'm wrong, but the planes that hit the towers were supposedly passenger airliners, yet footage of the 2nd plane shows no side windows. More like a cargo
And the most laughable finds of all...in the rubble of the collapsed towers..
Fair play tho, they've got their priorities sorted. Never mind getting as many hands as possible to help the injured etc. Nope, let's concentrate on confiscating all CCTV footage from every camera (even shops) along the flight path of the "plane" that hit the Pentagon...within hours. 100's of agents out gathering "evidence".
Personally I think certain elements of the American Govt are the most corrupt, devious and ruthless of any.
JFK, 9/11...I was going to say "what next ?" but I think people are getting a little too near the truth. I suspect they're gonna think very carefully before another "Extremist" incident of this scale happens.
Yes, I believe the attacks were genuine terrorist "plans"...that were un-hindered, helped along, allowed to happen.
How much time was allowed to pass without any jets being scrambled when the planes left their scheduled flight course ?
There's no conspiracy...it's too blatantly obvious to be called that.
1. Both planes that hit the towers were civilian and hijacked while on scheduled routes.
2. Fires do not burn uniformly, whatever their heat output. Also, it is highly likely that upon impact, the hijacker's body was catapulted, shredded and exited the building (he would not have been strapped in, methinks). I believe tons of recognisable bits were pulled from the aftermath. To find the terrorist's passport is not unlikely at all.
3. The attack was not assisted. The US had believed itself to be invulnerable to such attacks and the suddenness and coordinated nature of the attack left it stunned like a rabbit in headlights. Also, to this day, there is much argument as to the correct response to such an event. Do you shoot the hijacked aircraft down to save lives on the ground? Maybe there are contingency plans now, but within the short time of the duration of the attack, it is inconceivable that a response policy could have been decided.
Taking up Cem's point, there have been numerous attempts at air hijackings by "eastern" terrorists (especially during the 1970s0. The fascination with using aircraft is well known, since to the terroroists they represent the country they intend attacking, whatever the aircraft's location. To suggest that the 9/11 attacks were "beyond the ability, capacity and behaviour model of an eastern terrorist..even beyond their dreams" is frankly strange. The attackers were well used to western ways, they wanted to attack the US on its own land, and they wanted to die martyrs' deaths. The fact that the attacks were so meticulously planned (even down the attackers' lengthy flying lessons) does not mean that they were not the work of eastern terrorists. Al Qaeda is known to be a sophisticated, well financed organisation. They're not hill-billies.
Enough of this thread, already. 9/11 was a terrorist act unrelated to the US government. End of, as they say.
"On September 7, 2001 I left Dulles Airport in northern Virginia on an Air France flight
en route to Europe. 9/11 itself overtook me in Berlin. Because of the time difference, I
learned of the terror attacks in the afternoon. I immediately concluded that the events of
that day, because of their scope, complexity, and technical precision, could not have been
possible without the massive complicity of a faction of the US political and military
command structure. This is what the US taxpayers were paying $40 billion a year for! It
was also clear to me that the goal of this operation was a new world war on a vast scale –
something along the lines of the Thirty Years’ War of 1618-1648, which killed about a
third of the population of central Europe. In the intentions of its planners, this new
conflict was to be a population war, designed to exterminate large parts of the population
of the developing sector, including the Arab and Moslem countries, and eventually
China. It was the desperate bid of a bankrupt and declining power to re-assert world
domination based on blackmail. It was a world-historical turn towards disaster"
