WTC Attack     Questions About It

last update 5 Feb 2002
You'll have to go elsewhere to read any excuse, explanation or apology for my fostering what some might call a conspiracy theory. If you tend to "automatically reject" consipiracy theories then click here to find how your very own attitudes and thougts have been manipulated to prevent you from considering that a con has been perpetrated. I may be a conspiracy nut but better that than to be a coincidence dupe. Here are some simple questions and comments about what occurred on September 11, 2001 and the following three months.

QUESTIONS:

The word "hijacker" used below refers to the supposed 19 Islamic Fundamentalist hijackers associated with Al-Quida who were alleged to have hijacked and controlled the four planes involved in the attack. It is still an open question if such people exist, if they are Islamic Fundamentalists, if they are terrorists, if they hijacked the planes and if they actually controlled all aspects of the flights.

  1. Do any government agencies speculate potential attacks and how to respond?
  2. Was there an existing general air defense plan for foreign attack?     more

  5. What was the most common association of the hijackers?
  6. Did the CIA, FBI, or Army Intelligence recieve any indications that this plot was brewing ?

  11. Why was CIA investigation of the Bin Laden family stopped and by whose authority?     more
  12. Who wasn't at the crash sights (stayed home from work) that normally would have been?
  13. Who sold short on American Airlines or the Security Company?

During the attack:

    General

  6. When was the FAA alerted about the first cell phone call?
  7. When was the FAA alerted about the first cell phone call?
  8. How did the hijackers accomplish such precise timing to effect hits within 15 minutes of each other?
  9. Why did the first plane fly all the way out to Kansas and then turn around?
  10. Did existing passenger boarding profile warnings create any action that was then overridden?
  11. When did the air traffic controllers notify the FAA about each of the four hijackings?
  12. When did the FAA notify the military about each of the four hijackings?
  13. How many air bases were asked to scramble support and when were they asked and by whom?

  20. Why wasn't the pentagon evacuated?
  21. How unusual is it that the pentagon hit was right on the only part of the building that had been reinforced (only 10% of the structure) ?
  22. Where any government or public buildings in Washington D.C. evacuated?
  23. What level of skill is really needed to fly a large commercial jet into a the World Trade Center at 500 miles per hour?

The buildings

  • Why did the second building hit go down first?
  • Why didn't the central core remain standing even though the floors and walls gave way?
  • Is there any precedent, other than controlled demolition, for the sequence and nature of the collapse?
  • Why did building 7 collapse?
  • Where there explosions in other buildings or underground or in the subways?

    5. Who approved their relocation?
    6. Why were they all in Texas?
    7. Was FEMA involved in recovery?
    8. Why did one defense official tell Newsday "I don't think any of us envisioned an internal air threat by big aircraft," and even Maj. General Paul A. Weaver Jr., director of the Air National Guard, said shortly after the attacks: "the threat was from within, and we hadn't looked into our own country before. All of a sudden the threat was from within." Hadn't he heard of Timothy Mcveigh ? Didn't he know that the Pentagon just spent $258 million of taxpayer money to renovate and strengthen the first of the Pentagon’s five chevron-shaped wedges, to protect it from terrorist attacks, foreign and domestic ?" Does Weaver really work for a branch of the military ? I mean the U.S. military ?
