I was in my office when the guy in the next office called me to watch the disaster on his TV set. I watched for a few minutes, then went back to work - convinced that, while this was a terrible tragedy, it certainly was not the end of the world.
As the days went on, I became more and more convinced that the media had been duped. Video of witnesses and people in the building made mention of 'explosions' and fires. I think the airplanes were a diversion. The building's owner, Larry Silverstein, was in serious financial trouble because he couldn't keep tenants. He was a good friend of the Bush family. Marvin Bush was head of security for the buildings shortly before they were demolished. Silverstein eventually collected an enormous insurance settlement. There was some credible evidence of demolition crews in the building on vacant floors just a few days before the building came down.
It all seemed too contrived to me.....too much coincidence.
Then when Bush played on the emotions of a grief-stricken nation and tried to tie the attacks to Iraq, I was more persuaded than ever that this was all a cruel and murderous hoax on the American populace. I still believe that to this day. I firmly believe this was the work of the Bush administration as a means of furthering its own agenda.
Bush was selected to be President so that he could 'settle the score'; ever since Desert Storm the Bush family held a personal vendetta against Saddam Hussein. Cheney wanted all of Iraq's OIL. The U.S. military-industrial complex needed to boost sagging profits from too many years of peace. And the two newest government contractors - the Carlyle Group and Halliburton, both with direct ties to the Bush/Cheney White House - needed to feed from the government's war trough.
I don't think 911 had anything to do with the emergency number; that was another pure coincidence. -RKO- 11/17/07

Not sure if the number 11 has a meaning but I was getting ready for work and nipped to my local shops. I bumped into a friend of mine who told me about the first aeroplane hitting the trade centre tower, of course, we just thought it was an accident. We hoped that the loss of life would be minimal. It wasn’t until I arrived at work and the phone lines went berserk that I realised the full extent of what had happened and was told about the second attack.

I was working in a predominatly muslin country in Africa, I heard some cheers go up in the TV room. So went to have a look at what I thought was going to be sports, then when I saw the black smoke thought it was a refinery on fire, then someone told me in broken English it was New York. So I snatched the remote and switched it to CNN. I fired 9 people that day, for cheering. Sick Fcuks. It gave me a new out look on what muslims really think of white people, I thought these people were my friends before that, but that event showed their true colors. No, they are not smart enough to associate the 911 thing. Believe me, unless they are educated in the West or by Westerners they are dumb as ****.

I was working in Romania at the time and remember a lot of people in the offices glued to the TV crying. The company then enforced a lock down meaning we had to stay there 4 days longer than planned before using a local airline called Tera Airlines!
No idea about the dates and numbers... maybe just a coincidence... also one of the planes was flight 911 from memory.

I was at work. It all happened between mid day and 2pm London time when someone came to me at work and told me "AMERICA IS UNDER ATTACK... THERE ARE BOMBS EXPLODING EVERY WHERE !" - The first thing that came to my mind was that the Russians were attacking the USA, or WW3 but then I thought "RUSSIA AND COMMUNISM ARE FINISHED !" It was then that I went to a radio and hear our Prime Minister declare England in a state of extreme emergency. I left work and rushed home fearful that the same thing would happen to London and I would be separated from my family.
911 = '911' ? No... just coincidence !!

I was at home in Southern Nevada when our daughter in Ohio called and told us to turn on the TV.
Al Queda didn't choose that date because of numerology. September 11th is the anniversary of the day in 1684 when a Christian army stopped the forward advance of a Muslim army from Turkey at the Battle of Vienna. The next day that Muslim Army was defeated and Islam began its retreat from Central Europe into its current boundaries.

I had just gotten out of bed (I worked second shift) turned on the TV just before the second plan hit.
Maybe that date has some significance to Al Qaeda, big deal. They had targeted the WTC a couple of times, this was probably what they considered their best opportunity.

I hope UK Action is just full of sh&*! I love all the conspiracy theorists who walk about spouting such mindless drivel. I guess since it was GW and Co. that brought the towers down, no one happened to noticed the demolition crews drilling holes day and night for months in order to bring the towers down the way they did. GIMME A BREAK.We've been under attack by these Muslim freaks for decades and will continue to be until either the return of Christ (since He is the true Father) or until the stars burn out.
Was the date deliberately chosen for its significance? Maybe, but who really cares? The towers came down, and thousands of innocents perished. The funny part is the terrorists who committed these suicide acts were probably pretty shocked when they weren't met with a harem of virgins, all the booze they could drink, and whatever promises Mohammed made to them. Suicide is an E-ticket to Hell. But, who am I? I'm just another angry American who hopes that this will all be ironed out by true patriots. Unfortunately, we have a strong chance of another limp-wristed politically correct liberal entering the White House. Hip Hip Hooray! Can we say, no profiling and let's welcome the illegals? Oops....I've probably hurts someone's feelings. I'm such a bad boy. Time for the yahoo PC police to step in and quiet me. Blah Blah Blah.

I was at work. When we heard the first plane had hit the first tower we assumed it was an accident, but when the second tower was also a victim we assumed terrorism.....
When I watched the TV footage of the towers coming down I smelled a rat.....

I was laying on the couch taking a nap (I worked nights at the time) and had "good morning america" on the tv and the reports were incorporating into my dream. I woke up thinking that it was a really weird and vivid dream and froze when I realized what was going on. I woke up just in time to see the towers fall.
