The 9 / 11 Phone Call Warning

Many people believe that the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks were an inside job for many reasons, some being that phone calls from the planes were faked, and air defense was told to “stand down” and three buildings imploded as the result of two buildings being struck by airplanes.
