Robin Hordon – Former FAA Air Traffic Controller at the Boston Air Route Traffic Control Center, Former Certified Commercial Pilot. Former Certified Flight Instructor and Certified Ground Instructor.
"I knew within hours of the attacks on 9/11/2001 that it was an inside job. Based on my 11-year experience as an FAA Air Traffic Controller in the busy Northeast corridor, including hundreds of hours of training, briefings, air refuelings, low altitude bombing drills, being part of huge military exercises, daily military training exercises, interacting on a routine basis directly with NORAD radar personnel, and based on my own direct experience dealing with in-flight emergency situations, including two instances of hijacked commercial airliners, I state unequivocally; There is absolutely no way that four large commercial airliners could have flown around off course for 30 to 60 minutes on 9/11 without being intercepted and shot completely out of the sky by our jet fighters unless very highly placed people in our government and our military wanted it to happen.

can you even back this quote up with a source? Do you have any idea how many people would have to keep quiet/be silenced for 9-11 to be an inside job. Do you really think that's possible in a world where cowardly british sailors can sell their stories of treason for a profit? wake up.

I was just wondering if you even bother to read the links you put up with your question? The fellow, Robin Horton, who is making these claims wasn't working in Boston as an air traffic controller during 9/11 and has no connection to 9/11 in any way, although he does claim that he knows some people who do none of them corroborate his story and the actual controllers seem to consider him a nut job. Since he already belonged to a tin foil hat wearing group, former pilots for 9/11 truth or something, before making his allegations and has no involvement with 9/11 his claims aren't any more valid than the guy under the overpass who's been drinking Sterno for the last nine years. Come back when you have proof, real proof and not this silly fantasy based crap that wouldn't fool a mentally challenged six grader. Lord the stupidity of some of you conspiracy people is simply mind boggling.

There's never been any argument about the fact that jet fighters COULD have shot those airliners out of the sky. That an air traffic controller wasn't privy to the decision making by the White House doesn't exactly give them credence to declare a conspiracy. After the second airliner hit the towers it became obvious we were under attack and that it wasn't just a horrifying accident. The powers that be had to make the decision to shoot down hundreds of people in two other airliners as a consequence. The reasons why they chose not to do so can be attributable to many possible scenarios, not the least of simple bad decision making. Having experienced six long years of just that in this current Administration, it isn't a real stretch to think that's exactly what this was - just plain bad decision making and nothing else.
If they had shot those two airliners out of the sky we'd be arguing right now about whether it was necessary and couldn't they have done something else instead of sacrificing Americans. There'd just be a different type of conspiracy theory about that.

I heard that there is a gag order or air traffic controllers re 9/11. This is why only a "former air traffic controller' could come forward. A current one would lose his job. Also there is a gag order on police and firement in NYC regarding anything with 9/11. The air traffic controllers would have known there is no way the military could not respond unless stopped by higher-ups from doing so. Firemen at the WTC reported hearing bombs in the building.

I think what this air traffic controller is trying to say is that...
Interestingly, the burden of proof is no longer on the "conspiracy theorists" but on those who have stood by the government's official claim that 19 hijackers with plastic box-cutters financed by Bin Laden, (a man on dialysis hiding in a cave half way around the world) out smarted the CIA, FBI, NSA, FAA, The Pentagon, NORAD, and our Multi Trillion Dollar High Tech Military by crashing 4 planes without any intervention.
I don't know too much about this specifically, but I do know that steel framed buildings do not collapse at free fall speeds and they do not disintegrate in the process. There is clear evidence that powerful explosives were used in the demolition of the twin towers.
The 9/11 Commission report is incomplete and inaccurate and does not include interviews of eye witnesses. It does not provide a plausible explanation, but everyone quotes this report as the final authority. Physics Professor Steven Jones of BYU believes the twin towers were demolished using explosives and interviews available on Google clearly show witnesses and firemen who heard timed explosions and experienced explosions in the sub-basements.
The 9/11 Commission report does not mention the third building (WTC 7) which was demolished that same day. This building had a totally different design. The theory of a design flaw in the twin tower buildings (which happens to be false) cannot be applied to this third building at all. Unfortunately, forensic examination of the steel beams from the three WTC buildings was not possible because these were illegally shipped away within a few weeks. The few remaining pieces of steel did not provide any clues.
Like most important historical events, the "official version" is incomplete and inaccurate. However, this event did provide the perfect way to turn public opinion in favor of US attacks in the Middle East. Occupation of the Middle East was a goal of the Bush administration.
After listening to the videos based upon the "911 Truth" movement and verifying some of the facts, I'm convinced that this was an inside job. However, before we accuse specific individuals and companies of the crime, we need to convince the American people that we've been snookered by the biggest lie in forty years.
Unfortunately, there is a lot of disinformation and people are suffering from cognitive dissonance. One key issue is the fact that many people believe we have an honest mass media. Unfortunately, you need a complicit press to pull this off.

Don't listen to these closed minded fools who believe everything they are told by the media and their beloved government. There are thousands of people who are in professions of all types with regards to different elements of the attacks of 9/11 that all agree that there were anomolies that couldn't be explained in all of their fields of expertise. These fools who just like to ridicule the truth and put people down who have the balls to question the establishments account of events are not important because they are nothing. They are sheep being led by a retarded shepherd and his cronies and will question nothing. Some people just can't handle the truth because their tiny little minds can't comprehend that their government could do such a thing to its own people.

Whoa, it only took a couple of hours for him to crack the case wide open! Despite the months of investigations by congress, the FBI, NSA, etc... So he is saying that it is US policy to shoot commercial airliners out of the sky full of people if they are off course for 30 minutes, even if the airliners are over metropolitan areas like New York? Gosh, this revelation will surly make believers out of doubters. Pffft.

Long ago esatblished there was no plan for American military jets to scramble and shoot down airliners; assuming there were even any jets notified and anywhere near where they had to be; and assuming that shooting down a jet over NYC would have done any less damage than it did.
And of course this guy knows more than the guys at ground zero examining the damage know.

Yet ANOTHER example how conspiracy whoring is truly an addiction....The spammers might lay low for a day or so, but the need for a "hit" just gets to be too much...
BOOM! Here comes the flood of the same old "questions."
Classic "binge/purge" syndrome....
I'd suggest a 12-Step program, but you have so many accounts, it would take you days just to get through the "Hello, My name is...." part.

I don't try to speculate, I try to stay informed. Most of the REAL evidence in this points to conspiracy. I can't say that even the evil administration that it is could take it this far, at least I hope not. Cheney maybe, he is the scum in scum bag. But I do enjoy the people that just yell out "proof" because their mind isn't large enough or worked enough to actually come up with a thought of their own. Here I got this off YA earlier today, its a long read but very very interesting.
