How I see it:
* 2 planes hit the WTC Towers that were pre-rigged with explosives.
The events of 911, in my opinion were foretold to the US gov by many foriegn governments (again, well documented now) and the likes of Bush and his clan sat back, allowed it to happen so they could run amuck in the world.

Can we now discount the theory of UA93 landing at Cleveland?
So, which is it?
The WCPO report is actually the result of the 'perfect storm' of confusion that was the rule of the day on September 11. According to Liz Foreman of WCPO, the person whose name is associated with the story, their information came directly from the Associated Press - a report that was retracted just minutes later.
As it turns out, there really was a 767 on the runway at Cleveland that morning: Delta Flight 1989, which also was en route from Boston to LA, and also was suspected of having been hijacked.
The misidentification of the plane comes from two separate stories, reported by Peter Jennings of ABC News one right after the other. In typical journalist style, the AP shortened up that story for the news wire:
Mayor White of Cleveland was credited with saying that a 767 out of Boston had made an emergency landing, and had been evacuated. The next line says that United (not Mayor White) had identified the plane as Flight 93.
Airport records, along with the statements of passengers, confirm that the plane that landed was actually Delta 1989. It was confused with Flight 93 somewhere along the grapevine because of the rumors of it being hijacked.
It was thought that Delta 1989 might have been under terrorist threat for several reasons
We can conclude that Delta 1989 landed at 10:10, and at 12:30 the 69 passengers were taken into the FAA headquarter. Flight X landed at 10:45, and at 11:15 the 200 passengers were taken into the evacuated NASA Center. Cleveland Hopkins Airport - note that the blue runways were in planning yet on 9/11. The big black rectangle in the South is the I-X Center 5) The exact location of the plane This is the final proof that we have to do with two different planes. Both planes were sitting on a runway, but miles away from each other. One plane was at the west end of runway 28/10 near the NASA center (point 10 in the map). This is confirmed by Associated Press and an eyewitness (5A). The other plane was sitting at the south end of runway 18/36 near the I-X-Center (point 36), also confirmed by two eyewitnesses (5B). The geographic conditions on the airport suggest that the passengers at the West end were taken to the NASA Center and the passengers at the South end to the FAA headquarter.
We summarize our findings:
...........................................................Delta 1989...................Flight X
Moment of landing................................10:10...... .....................10:45
Begin of evacuation...............................12:30.... .......................11:15
Number of passengers..............................69...............................200
Passengers brought to...........................FAA/Airport...................NASA
Exact location........................................Runway 18/36 ............Runway 28/10
...........................................................near I-X Center..........near NASA Center
2) The begin of the evacuation of the passengers
The Akron Beacon Journal writes in an extra edition from 9/11 that the passengers were released from the plane at 11:15. This is confirmed by internet postings describing the events in real-time (2A). However, a passenger from Delta 1989 relates that she had to stay more than two hours in the plane before the FBI started to search it and took the passengers away for questioning. The Plain Dealer has learned about a evacuation time of 12:30, confirming the witness' statement. (2B).
Thanks to the most valuable statement of the passenger, we can conclude that Delta 1989 landed at 10:10 and was evacuated at 12:30. Flight X landed at 10:45 and was evacuated at 11:15.
3) The number of passengers
The first press reports tell us that the plane carried 200 passengers. Mayor White mentioned this number on his 11 o'clock conference (3A). He did not say how he got the number. The passenger of Delta 1989 however, she must know it, made an estimation of "sixty or so" passengers. This is confirmed by later reports - the story changed quickly. Now, 69 passengers have been released from the plane, going well with the "sixty or so" (3B).
We can conclude that Delta 1989 landed at 10:10, the 69 passengers being evacuated at 12:30. Flight X landed at 10:45, the 200 passengers being released at 11:15.

The proof I'd like to see the most is that Flight 93 landed safely and the Mayor of Cincinnati officially stated that...
I infer that since they hurt nobody with the Pentagon incident, they would also not hurt anybody in the planes.
