FWIW, grapes.
Since we live in the 21st century we are destined to be faced with these sorts of conflicting opinions, theories and (sometimes) outright fabrications
that swirl around
very quickly now, because of the Internet.
Just to prove a point, just look at how much time and energy was wasted (??) on the AF447 crash. Right here, at ATS, there were dozens of
'theories' and 'opinions' virtually immediately when the news broke. You see, it wasn't just a "plane crash", it HAD to have been a
conspiracy!!! Everything from intentional assassination, to aliens, to magnetic anomalies and Solar Flares!!! Again, it is the viral nature of the
Internet.
Now, as to 9/11, I can only speak from experience regarding the aspect of hijacking airplanes, and flying them on suicide missions into buildings,
even with minimal training. YES, it can be done. I won't waste time here, explaining, because it's been done before, numerous times. AND, we have
seen, tragically, time and time again that Muslim extremists are very willing to commit suicide when attacking a 'target'.
Certainly, no one will argue with that???
About buildings collapsing? You will have to draw your own conclusions. Frankly, that day, I was hoping that they would stand. I was thinking of A)
the forensics of investigating the scene, to include recovery of the Flight Recorder and CVR, and B) wishing not to lose the iconic landmark of the
Twin Towers.
When they collapsed, I was disappointed, and saddened. BUT I saw nothing unusual, on TV. I saw it nearly live....I think I was on NBC, so the Today
Show talking heads were blabbering on, and the live feed showed the first collapse on the screen behind them.
It was only later, as it sank in, that I realized the horror of the people trapped
above the burning floors. AND, those that chose to
jump....
edit: Arrrgh! Hit the wrong key!
Wanting to add....I'll end this, now, by stating I am certainly no fan of Bush/Cheney. In fact, I'd even say I hate both of them. BUT, there is
just
no way I can accept
anyone in, or associated with, the US Government, who are that evil and callous as to have perpetrated
such an immense and heinous scheme!! Certainly,
IF there was a desire to run a "False Flag" Op to stir a reason for the Iraq invasion, I can
sit here and come up with at least a half-dozen scenarios other than the 9/11 events.
Well...good luck with your search.
