ok, coming from someone who worked in the WTC complex in different buildings, knew the best lunch time getaway spots and hangouts for other activities....I would like to add my 2 cents to this controversy

If my memory serves me correctly, which I believe it does, the 110th floor of WTC North Tower is the observation deck. If CNN and any other media is listed as being a tenant of the 110 floor, that is because they had cameras and antennas on the 110th floor not offices or headquarters full of employees.

2. The four jets involved in 911 had only a total of 269 people on board, but had the capacity to handle over 1000. This, on very popular transcontinental routes that were (according to an AA stewardess interviewed by an acquaintance of mine) ROUTINELY OVER-BOOKED on any other day and should have been at at least 90% capacity instead of at just 25% capacity.

I'd like to chime in here, but I'm afraid that I don't have websites to back me up. I'm putting on body armour now and waiting for the flame war.

I have a very close family member who is a flight attendent for AA. Her best friend was on the flight that brought one of the hijackers to Boston. My family member was on a plane ready to leave from Boston when all flights stopped on that day.

Anyway, what Mega says is true. These are ALWAYS booked to high capacity. They are very popular. One of the things my family member said that day was that her own plane was not filled to capacity...and it was strange that the hijacked planes weren't either.

Thanks Bangin. I didn't have that particular link. Now, that SO and Banshee have been proven as unreliable and biased, will they still have the authority to destroy or move my 911 threads??

The truth is the only scanner I have access to is through my wife who works in town as a teacher's aide (30-mile round trip) but school is on April recess this week. I will ask the board membership if I must try to get this document scanned before Monday evening, or whether they will accept Bangin's link as the necessary proof that I am not a liar, or a poor researcher, or any of these other bogus slanders that have been made against my character. I can try to find a scanner somewhere else in town, but it is a small town (6700 people) 15 miles from here and I do not know if the library or the local copy place has one or not.

With regard to the HQ thing, there was no mistake there on my part either, Bangin. I never said it was the national headquarters did I? I said it was the NYC headquarters.

I fail to see how you proved them as unreliable. They have been posting here a lot longer than you, and if they were not reliable they would not have been choosen to be mods.

Then where did the live CNN broadcasts originate from on that day? I admit I was a little busy and could not see too much of them that day, but I remember seeing the WTC in the background of the anchors.

I think the bigger problem here is that the info he has, has came off this board, this person is a fool. He has showed us many times in this month, There is nothing more to say.

I'm just wondering why the CNN link (that SO provided) conveniently left off their tenancy on the 110th floor of the North Tower. They say the list was provided by CoStar Group.

None of my information has come off of this board but was the results of my original research during the period 9-11-01 to roughly 3/1/02 during which time my two videos and book (never published, just photocopied and sent as a MS to whomever requested one) were made.

Where's my apology Banshee/Skepticoverlord?? I'm waiting.

HELLOOOO, the 110th floor is the OBSERVATION DECK!!! how can CNN have its headquarters right in the middle of all the tourists walking around taking pics!!!!!

wait correction, i'm thinking about this, The North Tower is connected to the World Financial Center, it's the NORTH tower that has all the atennas on the 110th Floor, the SOUTH tower has the observation deck from the 107th to the 110th floor. If you are on the South Tower Observation Deck you can look directly across to the North Tower and there are several atennas each which belongs to the different media outlets including CNN and WPIX, CBS, NBC etc, plus there are other atennas for wireless services and stuff.

I stick with....CNN did not have an office or headquarter in the North Tower, Just an Antenna

I am sure that they are in the same place as the answers you give to direct questions that come from people that do not support your view.

Five New York area television stations leased 3200 SF of the 40,000 SF available on the 110th Floor. My recollection (though I lack documentation at present) was that CNN leased far more than the combined total of these 5 stations on that floor. These 5 stations had 3 people listed as dead or missing, yet CNN had none. I repeatedly phoned/faxed CNN national HQ in Atlanta to ask for an explanation as to why these stations had people killed and to find out how many CNN employees were at work that day, or if not, why not. I never received a reply.

How can an antennae be on a floor?? What, do they poke them up through the ceiling tiles?? Obviously the antennaes would be on the roof, not Floor 110...duh!?!

Does anybody have anything to add as to why CNN would refuse to respond to my inquiries? Does anyone know whether there studio was located in these office or elsewhere?

Does anyone want to comment on the other two major points at the top of this thread, or are we ready to read something new??

P.S. I would be way over 3500 point by now, if SO and Banshee hadn't kept fining me for proving them wrong. Not that I really give a rip, but what exactly DOES happen when you reach 3500? TIA.

You can gain access to the publicly restricted ATS forum 'R.A.T.S', or Really above top secret. A place for things that need to be off the search engines.

if you keep bitchin' about the staff they will continue to fine you.

Yeh, this is not going to help you get your information across mepatriot.

the outdoor observation deck of the South Tower is on the 110th Floor. The button on the elevator didn't say "ROOF" it said 110th floor...So why can't the antennas be on the 110th floor?

anyways, i was just asking a friend who is still in NY and worked there with me, He reminded me that the Windows on the World Restuarant was on the 110th Floor of the North Tower. we are both going to check further on this CNN thing, but so far we are both in conclusion that you are mistaking the space rented for the antennas as office space...

Mepatriot, I am not trying to knock your theories, it just that I know clearly for a fact CNN headquarters are in Atlanta....if you can clearly prove that CNN had an actual office with employees that work there on a regular basis except for 9/11 then i will reconsider....but 1-5 CNN employees who might technicians for the antennas only doesn't qualify as a CNN headquarter or major office.

doesn't it say clearly on cnn that the headquarters are in Atlanta? oh wait, don't tell me thats a conspiracy mepatriot
