United 93 Review

Although the majority of the hijackers of the planes were not experienced pilots they could in fact pull off successfully guiding the planes into three out of the four targets. Those who believe that 9/11 was done by the American Government say that it would have been impossible for the hijackers to maneuver the planes well enough to hit 3 out of their 4 targets because the majority of the hijackers were not experienced pilots. It is true that only four of the hijackers were trained to fly, which allows one trained hijacker per plane; three of the four trained hijackers obtained their pilot’s licence while the fourth, Hani Hanjour, had a private and commercial license.

Fahrenheit 9/11, creates many good points and provides the public with an inside look into the corruption of George Bush’s presidency and what could have possibly led to the attacks on 9/11. However, the documentary overall argument is extremely weak. It is not convincing to anyone, other than those already suspicious of Bush’s involvement in 9/11, because of the ineffective ways of argument shown throughout the film.

Those who believe the WTC was destroyed by controlled demolitions argue the debris that blew out of windows was the result of an explosive. But experts disagree by saying the debris was simply the contents of the offices inside being blown out with air as the floors collapsed on top of each other. Also, demolition professionals say explosives are placed on lower levels, whereas, the planes hit the buildings at very high floors. No signs of a bomb were found in the wreckage of the buildings (Debunking the 9/11 myths, n.d.). Those who believe the planes that hit the WTC were remote controlled say there is no way al Qaeda could have even come up with the plan to hijack and crash the planes, much less have acted it out within an hour. The manufacturer stated the planes that hit the buildings had only one system of control: from the flight deck. Many telephone calls were made from passengers on the planes saying they were being hijacked.

There were many actions that occurred during the time of the attack that assisted with preventing an even worse outcome. For example, on flight 93 they used phones on the airplane to communicate that their plane was hijacked and let everyone else know that their may be other planes being hijacked. Now they are saying that on airplanes it is unsafe to use cell phones because it can interfere with the plane’s electronics. There was a ban to not have cell phones on airplanes but they have worked on getting that uplifted because their can be good to having cell phones (“Tread Carefully on Cell…”). Another example was when passengers on flight 93 decided to fight against the attackers and took the plane off course and crashed it nowhere near the White House or the Capital building in Washington and saved them from getting hit by the plane (Kubic).

At 6:00 a.m., Atta and Omari a flight from Portland to Boston. Then they checked in at American 11 which had its destination for Los Angeles. They would be passed through a series of checkpoints like the explosive-trace detector, an X-ray machine, etc. Also, some of these hijackers were selected by CAPPS (Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System) which just made these people be subject to special security measures. Over the course of about 2 hours and 14 minutes, they had been checked. Then the hijacking began to take place. Two of the hijackers stabbed flight attendants; they also tried to lure out the captain out of the cockpit, taking control of the plane. In order to prevent the passengers from intervening their plan, they would use pepper spray. The passengers were taken to the very back of the plane, meanwhile they were calling people to relay important information about the events taking place. Then they crashed the plane into the northern tower at the World Trade Center. As for United 93, the hijackers were Saeed al Ghamdi, Ahmed al Nami, Ahmad al Haznawi, and Ziad Jarrah. One of them was only selected by CAPPS (Hanawi). The flight was scheduled to leave from Newark, NJ, to San Francisco, CA. Along with the other hijackers, they also had to pass through security checkpoints. They had to pass through explosive-trace detectors, X-ray machines, and all the other machines they used. The hijackers used the same tactics as the other members but what they did differently is that, according to some phone calls, they didn’t use pepper spray or threaten to kill anyone, or killed anyone at all. Same story, passengers made phone calls to relay information, then crashed at 10:02:23 into some fields in

September 11, 2001 was a day that everyone who was old enough to remember will remember for the rest of their lives. I was in the fourth grade when the World Trade Centers were crashed into. I remember our principal coming on the intercom and saying that we were not allowed to turn our televisions on. I did not understand the magnitude of the situation until I got home and my parents explained it to me. I remember that every plane I saw over my head scared me and I was afraid that a plane was going to be crashed into my home or school. The general population reaction to the attack was that of hysteria and worry. People were afraid of flying. People also feared that this was only the precursor to an even bigger attack that was being planned on the United States. The public wanted someone to blame for the incident and they wanted to know why the government had not prevented the attack if they had been given intelligence that an attack might happen. The years leading up to this terrible day in history were full of tough decisions. No one can say that the government was not interested in terrorism at all. They had small departments in the FBI and CIA that looked at and interpreted terrorism related intelligence. The decisions the government had to make changed the United States forever. There was not one factor that defined how the government dealt with terrorism collectively. The government had to take into account not only the actions to take against

Why were the passenger planes was not intercepted early before the attack? Jim Meigs, a debunker, stated that NORAD is not geared to protect us from toward domestic aircrafts, but does protect us from foreign aircrafts. The responsibility for tracking internal hijacks doesn't start with the military, but the FAA had responsibility to say there's a hijack. During the hijack the planes transponders were turned off. Air Traffic controllers lose the information on the aliu dude, but they can still track the plane as a primary signal. Webster Tarpley noted in his book 9/11, Synthetic Terror, states that staff exercises or command exercises are perfect for a rogue network which is forced to conduct its operations using the same communications and computer systems used by other officers who are not necessarily party to the illegal operation. Evening of september 10th, the security level for the NORAD computer system called infocon had been drop to normal, witch makes it easier for anyone to penetrate or compromise the computer networks of the air defense system on September 11th. Military exercises had been scheduled on that day of the attack. Some exercises consisted of false hijacks of commercial airplanes. The unusual number of exercises had two big problems, first they moved a large number of fighters tour to Canada and alaska. Finally, it created a major confusion in the system as soon the real hijackings were reported. General Richard Myers, denied

On September 11, 2001, the United States experienced an attack that changed our country forever. It was reported by the New York magazine that 19 hijackers were responsible for the 2,996 deaths that day, leaving our country in shock. The official report stated that there was a total of 4 planes involved; Flight 11 crashed into the North tower, Flight 175 crashed into the South tower, Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon and Flight 93 was overthrown by passengers and later crashed into the ground in Pennsylvania. There is no doubt that this was one of the worst tragedies our country has ever experienced but many still question the truth behind it. From the discrepancies in the stories of the event, to the fault in the towers mechanics, it

First off the basic overview of 9/11. The day is September 11, 2001. Just a normal day to everyone. The world is at peace. 7:35: Atta and al-Omari board American Airlines Flight 11. Five minutes later the rest of the Flight 11 hijackers board the airplane. 7:59: Flight 11, carrying 81 passengers and 11 crew members, departs from Logan International Airport in Boston, its destination being Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles, California. 8:14: Flight 11 is hijacked when hijackers Waleed and Wail al-Shehri rise from seats 2A and 2B and stab two flight attendants. Atta rises from seat 8D and approaches the cockpit. Within minutes, he is at the controls. 8:14, United Airlines Flight 175, carrying 56 passengers and nine crew members, also departs from Logan International Airport in Boston; its destination was also Los Angeles International Airport. Five hijackers are aboard. 8:19, Betty Ong, a flight attendant on Flight 11 alerts

Another glaring omission that the government has never addressed is why fully intact passports of the alleged hijackers we found blocks away from the crash site (Loose Change). If everything including the bodies from the plane caught

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).

When the US was warned about the possibility of a terrorist attack on US soil, why was the threat not taken seriously? Some of the lower grade official (CIA), took the threat to be very seriously, but were told to dismiss the warnings, by top their superiors. September 10, 2001, a number of the Pentagon’s top brass suddenly cancel travel plans for the next morning, apparently because of security concerns. The airlines security system was not up graded to possible terrorists attack alert.

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.

Almost all of the film is spent talking about the years since the Sept. 11 attacks, paying particular attention to targeted killings, secret detentions, and torture, that the C.I.A. has conducted in the last 14 years.

George Bush did not want the American people to know what really happen or that he was involved with it. Bush had all the videos edited to look like terrorist were the bad guys. September 11, 2001 was a complete cover up by George Bush, but he saved the lives of billions of people. 9/11 was a horrible day but it could have been much
