"Tell God to blow the wind from the west. It's bad. It's black. It's arid. We are young men. We're not ready to die. Oh no, God OH!” Were the last words of Kevin Cosgrove as the world trade center tower 1 collapsed. He was a guest visiting the world trade center at the 11th of September 2001 when two commercial airliners were hijacked and aimed to hit the world trade center’s buildings 1 and 2 to break them down to the ground. At the same day, another plane was hijacked and crashed into the Pentagon, the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense. Even a fourth plane was captured, but an attempt by the passengers and crew to regain control worked. This killed all 44 people aboard, including the four hijackers, but saved a lot of lives as no one on the ground was injured. The hijackers in the September 11 attacks were 19 men affiliated with the terrorist …show more content…
This group managed to find several events and facts that make some of the attacks and other happenings of 9/11, not likely, possibly set up, and in some cases even impossible.
The Bush Administration was so resistant to the idea of launching an official investigation into the events of 9/11 that it took over 440 days after the attack to get the investigation started and this only happened after independent groups put massive public pressure on the Government to call for an official analysis of the events. It got even better when the investigation was delayed, underfunded, and I would even argue that it was set up to fail, as the investigators got insufficient time and commission members with serious conflicts of interest. There was only 14 million dollars spent on the 9/11 Commission report, compared to 40 million on investigating Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky. It sounds crazy to me how they only spend 15 million on the highest profile mass murder on American
On September 11, 2001, 19 people hijacked four airliners and carried out suicide attacks against their targets.. Two of the planes crashed into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, the third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Over 3,000 people were killed during the attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., including more than 400 police officers and firefighters. (“9/11 attacks”2010). The conspiracy theories started just days after the September 11, 2001 attack. The conspiracies were easy to spread fast when using the internet and they became more and more elaborate as time went on. The most popular 9/11 conspiracy theory is that 9/11 was orchestrated by the American government.
The actions of the U.S. government and the property management suggest that they knew of the attack in advance. In The Landlord (2001) it was found that the property manager purchased an insurance policy protecting specifically against terrorist attacks just days before the tragedy of September 11th? Furthermore, the anti-terrorism handbook distributed to government officials before the attack pictures the World Trade Center in crosshairs. This just doesn’t simply add up. If the government had nothing to hide, why would they avoid this type of media surrounding the
On September 11, 2001 the World Trade Center buildings one and two were attacked. However, who we were attacked by and even if we were attacked is a hard decision to make. There have been many different claims about how everything on that fateful day happened. There are facts that we know are true, though; Flight 11 flew into the North Tower at eight forty- six in the morning. Soon after, Flight 175 attacked the South Tower. By the end of the day, both towers had collapsed and other hijacked flights had caused damage. The amount of lives lost on September 11 was substantial; 2,749 people from eighty-three different countries died from the attacks (Facts about the attacks…, n.d.). All in all, America was changed forever.
Not everyone believes that everything happened quite like that, that it was all done by terrorists. Many people believe that 9/11 was an inside job, ordered by government officials. There is some evidence that this could have been possible. Later in the day, after the attacks had taken place and all the other flights were grounded, there was a search of all planes. While searching two of the planes, there were knife like objects found hidden in there. Nobody can be quite sure how the weapons got there, but it is widely believed that they were prepositioned by some accomplices of the 9/11 attack. (What Happened on 9/11?")
On September 11’th 2001 on the morning hijacked by 19 Arab men 4 aircraft were all heading towards California, and used them as suicide missiles. They flew into the World Trade Center two twin towers, the Pentagon and after a long struggle with passengers crashed last down on a field. World Trade Center consisted of seven buildings, three of the buildings collapsed and the four others were damaged by the other collapsed. It is believed that the 19 Arab men, was led by the Egyptian Mohammed Atta (1968-2001) 5.
On the morning of the September 11th attacks, or the attacks of 9/11, four passenger airplanes were hijacked by terrorists. Two airplanes collided into the North and South towers of the World Trade Center in New York, a third airplane crashed into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and a fourth airplane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. These plane collisions
Hearing his story, it made me scratch my head and think. If this was planned was it really supposed to kill thousands of people like it did? The blame for this tragedy was placed on Osama Bin Laden, by the commission report. Then why does the Most Wanted poster listing Osama Bin Laden not list the September 11th attacks (Most Wanted)? When asked that question the FBI replied, “We have no hard evidence against Osama (Loose Change Final Cut).” Without hard evidence how can one claim that he was behind it? Again, no answer was given.
On September 11, 2001 four passenger commercial jet airliners were hijacked and as a result approximately 3,000 human lives were lost. When asked about 9/11, many can recall exactly what they were doing when they heard the news that a plane crashed into one of the World Trade Center (WTC) buildings and many Americans can tell you how it all unfolded and the reason behind such a travesty. The “official story” provided by officials, and restated by Sofia Shafquat, producer of “9/11 Mysteries: Demolitions” say that “four passenger planes were hijacked and taken radically off course, within an hour, two of the planes had flown into the enormous steel towers of the World Trade Center, creating fires and eventually toppling them” (Shafquat).
The official story of 9/11 is a conspiracy theory in that the government claims 19 hijackers conspired together to hijack four planes and create terror in the world. Four American airplanes were hijacked; two were driven into the World Trade Centers and the third airplane into the Pentagon. The fourth airplane suspected target was the White House, but it was diverted by the brave men and women aboard that hijacked airplane, and crashed the airline jet before it could reach its target. It was like time stood still as America watched through television broadcast these unbelievable and horrifying events taking place. The reports told of the smell the jet fuel, burning flesh, and people jumping out windows to their death to escape the flames.
The September 11 attacks were tragic events that had spread shockwaves of horror and grief across the United States. The tragedy became the subject of controversy as some skeptics began to doubt the details reported to have transpired that day. Some people question its legitimacy, theorizing that the Bush administration devised and orchestrated the attacks to further its agenda. Filmmaker Dylan Avery discusses and promotes this prevalent conspiracy theory in his documentary, Loose Change 9/11: An American Coup. Avery argues that the government possessed foreknowledge of the attacks by comparing them to precedents of similar situations. He challenges the official explanations and provides his analyzations of evidence from the reports and media. Avery effectively appeals to pathos, ethos, and logos in his film, but his compelling argument is ultimately undermined by fallacies.
A large group of people called “The 9/11 Truth Movement”, that an airliner didn’t hit the Pentagon and the World Trade Centre couldn’t have been brought down by airliner impacts and burning aviation fuel alone. The group had pointed out the demolition squibs emerging from the Twin Towers at levels far below the aircraft impact zones and prior to the collapses. Many witnesses, including the firemen, policemen and people who were inside the towers, claim to have heard explosions below the aircraft impacts, including the basement levels. The day of September 11, 2001, was widely derided by the conspiracy community and held up further evidence that 9/11 was an “inside job”.
On September 11, 2001, the United States of America faced its biggest attack in history, two commercial airlines flew into the World Trade Center in New York City, and another plane flew into the Pentagon in Washington D.C. But during these attacks, our Command-in-Chief George W. Bush was not protecting himself from harm, he was in Sarasota, Florida reading about goats. The people of America question is Bush and his staff should be held accountable for these attacks. As Bush did not act as any other president would, he continued to read “The Pet Goat” instead of making an attempt to protect himself, as if nothing was happening. But on the other hand, there are reason to believe that President Bush was not informed about the warnings and threat and that he was practically blindfolded until the time off the attack, and that the attack was planned and
September 11, 2001, millions of New Yorkers and American citizens woke up and started their day, unprepared and unaware for the catastrophic attack that would be taking place in just a few short hours. At 8:46 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower. The impact killed all of the passengers and crew as well as hundreds inside the building. At 9:03 a.m., a second plane, Flight 175, crashed into the corner of the South Tower killing passenger, crew, and workers who worked on floors seventy-five to eighty-three. Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. killing approximately 185 individuals (History.com Staff). Because of the damaged to the support system, fires, and impact at extremely fast speed, the South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m. (Lipton and Glanz). Having heard about the acts of terrorism that had just taken place in New York and Washington, D.C., a group of passengers drove their plane, Flight 93, into a Pennsylvania field killing everyone on board but possibly saving hundreds of other lives in the process. The North Tower collapsed at 10:28 a.m. 102 minutes after being struck (History.com Staff). On September 11, 2001, almost twelve hundred people were wounded or killed by “coordinated suicide attempts” by Al Qaeda terrorists. In result to the four airplanes being hijacked and used for premediated reasons, the United States government instituted new regulations for entering the country and airport security as well as expounded on systems already in place.
Numerous reasons and possibilities circulate through out the world as to if the United States government had ties to the happenings on September 11th, 2001. Evidence to dispute 9/11 being an inside job quickly began to go viral, especially on the Internet. False flag terrorism became a widely debated topic to go along with the conspiracies. Theorists believe that bombs demolished the World Trade Center Buildings, the phone calls from the planes were a hoax, or George W. Bush who was the current president at the time financially benefited discreetly from the attacks (NewsOne Staff 2012) As a final point, there is evidence to believe the United States government had responsibility in the attacks that took place in 2001.
With every terrorist attack that occurs, there are always conspiracy theories that begin to float around about what “really happened” during the attacks. The most popular and well known conspiracy theories of the 9/11 attacks are that there was a missile or some sort of a different type of plane that crashed into the first tower at 9:37am on September 11th. Even though there were many witnesses who claimed they saw the Boeing 757 hit the tower, there are many that still believe it was a missile instead. Some conspiracy theorists claim that there was no plane wreckage at the site of the crash at the Pentagon, which does not make sense whatsoever when there are picture and video proof showing debris from the plane that crashed into the Pentagon. Allyn Kilsheimer was the first structural engineer who arrived at the site of the crash at the Pentagon who even stated that he found plane debris and even the black box from the plane. Another conspiracy theory states that they believe the Twin Towers were taken down by a controlled explosion that occurred in both towers and were not hit by planes. Conspiracy theorists also claim that United Airlines Flight 93, was shot down and crashed into an open field in Pennsylvania after passengers tried to gain back control of the plane from the hijackers. Another popular conspiracy theory that they also claim that occurred was that the United States government knew about the attacks before they occurred. The United States has the most powerful
