Answer 2

We know more than you may realize. No need to get carried away with the speculations of those who suggest all sorts of government conspiracies

In fact, a lot of responsible study and investigation has shown that the claims of government knowledge and cover-up, of a controlled demolition, etc., have no good basis. They are often based on ignorance -- sometimes on the information people had in the first couple of days after 911, when of course we couldn't yet have put everything together.

One place you can go is the 911 Commission web site. They have a downloadable copy (pdf) of their entire report. The following page outlines the parts of the report, and links to the downloadable report.

There are other resources that you might find more helpful, or easier to follow.

Here's one quickie - http://www.911myths.com/


Some of the best is from Popular Mechanics --

In its March 2005 issue Popular Mechanics published a cover story "Debunking 9/11 Myths"m respnding to the various charges.
http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/military_law/1227842.html

Later, they expanded the article into a book - *Debunking 9/11 Myths: Why Conspiracy Theories Can't Stand Up to the Facts * edited by Dunbar and Reagan. It's not too difficult a read, and I'll bet your local public library has a copy.

One quick example, since it's been the news lately. Rosie (on "The View") has been going on about the impossibility of jet fuel burning hot enough to melt steel. Sure - that's true. But the problem is, no official statement has EVER said that the steel supports in the World Trade Center "melted"!! Rather, they became hot enough that they lost their sructural integrity --and were unable to support the weight of the building and so buckled. That all happens at a temperature FAR below 'melting', a temperature it would easily have reached under the circumstances. Now, it's true that, many weeks LATER, melted steel was found in the wreckage. Butt that's because some of the fires continued to burn all that time, and since they were unable to release heat to the outside they became VERY hot, plenty hot enough to melt steel.... but that had nothing to do with the original jet-fuel fires.

Answer 3

Well some bad guys known as terrorists, hijacked planes and flew them into to these really tall buildings filled with people. some say that the president knew but didn't stop it. Two planes hit two world trade centers, one hit the pentagon and one crashed in pennsylvania.

Answer 4

Al Qaeda members crashed planes into the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania. Seriously.

Answer 5

Take off the tinfoil hat
move out of your mothers basement
quit watching the view

oh and by the way Elvis killed JFK...

Answer 6

No Americans. No Jewish people. Just Muslims engaged in their holy war (Jihad). Directed, no doubt, by their exalted leader Bin Laden who reputedly told them to kill every American they could get their holy hands on.

Answer 7

I'm not so sure, the only thing I know is that it was a sad day, and so cruel for someone actually doing that. They person that did it is sick.

Answer 8

I don't know ....but I was looking up the answer and came across this site and wow... everyone should be asking this question that you have asked...just check out this site.. i now beleive that all media are the worst to lsten to lies...check out:-

Answer 9

I. Introduction
September 11 Attacks, coordinated terrorist strike on the United States in 2001 that killed about 3,000 people and shook the nation to its core.

On the sunny morning of September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists, working in teams of 4 or 5, hijacked four commercial jetliners and turned them toward targets chosen for destruction. Two of the planes, loaded with fuel and passengers, were flown at full speed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in the financial district of New York City. The buildings burst into flame and then collapsed, killing thousands. A third terrorist crew smashed their plane into the Pentagon, headquarters of the U.S. military in Arlington, Virginia. The hijackers of the fourth airliner apparently intended to hit another target in the Washington, D.C., area, but passengers on the plane realized what was happening and fought back. This airplane crashed in a field in rural Pennsylvania.

The 19 men who carried out the hijackings came from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and other Arab states. They were affiliated with the al-Qaeda network, a radical Islamic group led by Saudi exile Osama bin Laden and dedicated to waging a holy war against the United States. The targets they chose to destroy perfectly symbolized U.S. financial, political, and military power. Years in the planning, the attacks in New York and Washington constituted the first major foreign assault on the continental United States since 1814, when the British army invaded Washington, D.C., and burned the White House. More people were killed on U.S. soil on September 11 than on any day since the American Civil War.

United States citizens, feeling their country under attack, rallied behind their leaders in a display of national unity, patriotism, and generosity unseen in decades. The country celebrated anew the values of courage and heroism, exemplified by the New York firefighters and rescue workers who unhesitatingly rushed into the World Trade Center towers to save as many people as possible.

Before long, it was clear that September 11 would alter the course of U.S. history. President George W. Bush announced that fighting terrorism and preventing future attacks would be his administration’s top priority. Governments around the world were told they must decide whether to stand with the United States in this antiterrorist effort or face U.S. wrath. Americans had to accustom themselves to new security measures that complicated their travel, work, and recreation. United States agencies rearranged their action agendas, and local governments scrambled to make preparations for new terrorist attacks, possibly involving biological, chemical, or even nuclear weapons.

II. Terror from the Sky

A. World Trade Center
The first two planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, left Boston within minutes of each other, around 8 am. Both were Boeing 767s bound for Los Angeles, and they carried between them 137 passengers and 20 crew members. The first indication of trouble came at about 8:25 am, when air traffic controllers in Boston heard a strange voice from the Flight 11 cockpit saying, “We have some planes. Just stay quiet, and you will be OK. We are returning to the airport.” A few minutes later the plane turned off course, heading south toward New York City. Flight 11 crashed into the World Trade Center north tower at 8:46 am, hitting the 110-story building between the 93rd and 99th floors. The hijackers of United Flight 175 followed a similar route. Flying much faster, they slammed their airplane into the World Trade Center south tower, also 110 stories tall, between the 77th and 85th floors 16 minutes later, at 9:03 am.

New York firefighters rushed to the scene from stations across the metropolitan area and helped thousands of people evacuate the towers and buildings nearby. Nearly all of the World Trade Center workers caught in offices above the floors where the planes hit had no means of escape. Many, realizing they were doomed, jumped from their office windows rather than waiting to suffocate or burn to death.

The tower structures, built from 1966 to 1973, were designed to withstand the impact of a jetliner crash, and initially remained intact. However, Boeing 767s are much larger than 1960s-era jetliners, and carry much more fuel. In both towers the intense heat from the burning jet fuel eventually melted their interior steel supports. At 9:58:59 am the south tower collapsed: The steel supports gave way in the burning part of the tower, the floors above fell into the lower portion of the building, and the weight of the falling sections swiftly caused the lower floors to pancake. The north tower fell in a similar fashion 29 minutes later, at 10:28 am. More than 400 rescue workers, including more than 300 New York firefighters, were crushed in the ash and rubble. Including the World Trade Center workers who died and the aircraft crews and passengers, the total death toll in the New York attack was about 2,750.

B. The Pentagon
American Airlines Flight 77, meanwhile, took off from Washington Dulles International Airport outside Washington, D.C., at about 8:20 am with 6 crew members and 58 passengers. Like the Boston flights, the airplane was bound for Los Angeles, and its fuel tanks were full. About 40 minutes later, the hijackers turned the Boeing 757 around and flew it back toward Washington, D.C. Flying low and fast, the airplane hit the Pentagon at 9:37 am. In a bit of good fortune, the plane crashed into the west side of the building, which had recently been reinforced with stronger construction and blast-resistant windows in order to withstand a terrorist attack. Even so, the plane penetrated three of the Pentagon’s five concentric rings, taking a chunk out of the building and incinerating dozens of offices and the people who worked in them. The plane’s burning fuel spilled through the ruins as military and civilian workers groped their way through smoky and burning offices to rescue colleagues. In all, 184 people died at the Pentagon, including everyone aboard the plane.

C. “Let’s Roll”: Flight 93
The fourth aircraft hijacked on September 11, United Airlines Flight 93, took off from Newark, New Jersey, at about 8:40 am, bound for San Francisco. The Boeing 757 was the last of the four planes to be hijacked, and its passengers heard about the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks through telephone conversations with family members or friends. Several male passengers, realizing what was happening, decided to rush the cockpit and try to wrest control of the aircraft away from the hijackers, even if it meant crashing. One passenger, Todd Beamer, told a telephone operator of the plan. After asking the operator to pray with him, Beamer set down the phone. The operator heard him say, “Are you ready?” Then, “OK, let’s roll.” It is unknown where the hijackers of Flight 93 intended to crash the plane, but the aircraft was headed toward the Washington, D.C., area when it crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, at about 10:03 am. The phrase “Let’s roll” would become a U.S. rallying cry in the subsequent war on terrorism.
