USA IS UNDER ATTACK (9/11)

-4- USA IS UNDER ATTACK (9/11)
4.1 Summary of facts as given by the “official media”

This chapter was written to point out, that the information the average viewer was able to get, was very limited. All major news companies, such as CNN, CBS, FOX NEWS and even BBC (Europe) broadcasted the same information.
Even the video coverage was identical for at least 3-4 days after the attacks.
Here is a compact version of the events that took place on 9/11 with information from the mentioned news companies:22 This gives the impression of a carefully orchestrated campaign.

8:45 a.m. : A hijacked passenger jet, American Airlines Flight 11 from Boston en route to Massachusetts, crashes into the north tower of the World Trade Center and sets it on fire.
9:03 a.m.: Another hijacked plane, United Airlines Flight 175 from Boston, crashes into the south tower of the World Trade Center and explodes. Now both buildings are burning.
9:43 a.m.: American Airlines Flight 77 crashes into the Pentagon.
10.05 a.m.: The south tower collapses and a huge wave of dust crawls through the streets.
10.10 a.m.: A part of the Pentagon collapses.
10:10 a.m.: United Airlines Flight 93, also hijacked, crashes in Pennsylvania, southeast of Pittsburgh.
10:28 a.m.: The World Trade Center’s north tower collapses.
4 p.m.: U.S. officials say there are “good indications” that Saudi militant Osama bin Laden is involved in the attacks, based on “new and specific” information developed since the attacks.

4.2 Summary of background information and facts which are not widely known

To better understand the complexity of the 9/11 attacks, it is important to look at these unmentioned facts, because the official version is not detailed enough:
Fighter planes that were patrolling the area and new fighters that were sent out to secure the airspace were all not flying at their full speed, therefore they couldn’t reach the hijacked planes to intercept them.24 Those F-15 and 16 fighters could easily have intercepted the second plane heading for the WTC and the flight 77 for the pentagon, as they were “flagged” hijacked several minutes after the first crash. (The Otis Air National Guard Base is located 188 miles from New York City. According to NORAD’s timeline, fighters left Otis 11 minutes earlier. If they were still 70 miles away, then they must have been travelling about 650 mph, when the top speed for an F-15 is 1875 mph!25)
Besides the fighters only flying at half their speed (According to Major Gen. Paul Weaver, director of the Air National Guard), they (the F-15 fighters) were not armed (no missiles on board), and not allowed to shoot down any civilian airplane, as only the president is allowed to give this special order. The consequence of this is that all four planes were able to arrive their final destination, as the fighters that were after them were useless. Hence Bush was not notified about the hijacked planes and the first impact at the WTC, he could not allow them to shoot them down. By the time of the attacks, Bush was staying in the Booker Elementary School, listening to a students’ performance. This is where the average TV watching citizens is asking himself why the president did not know what is going on. Instead of being carried away by secret service agents he remains there. Journalists describe his face as motionless afterwards. Bush later on says:
“And I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower – the TV was obviously on, and I use to fly myself, and I said, ‘There’s one terrible pilot.’ And I said, ‘It must have been a horrible accident.’ But I was whisked off there – I didn’t have much time to think about it.”
(Copied from the CNN article released on the 4th December 2001).
Bush has repeated this (obviously untrue) story on other occasions27. (For example in a town hall meeting with the people citizens of Ontario on the 5th January 2002)28. However, it has was said that Bush didn’t have access to a television until 15 minutes later. There for it was not only impossible for him to see it live, but also it was impossible to be shown on TV, because the first crash was not shown live on TV and the video of it was released on the next day’s evening. A Boston Herald article says,
“Think about that. Bush’s remark implies he saw the first plane hit the tower. But we all know that video of the first plane hitting did not surface until the next day.”29
This shows that Bush either has something to hide or that he knows something that he doesn’t want to share with the public. Either way this is suspicious.
Also, did you know that 3 of the 4 planes were flying with only a few passengers26, but that though they were only doing a national flight were filled to the max with gasoline?
Usually this is only done to overseas flights.
Flight 93 had only 38 people aboard; that is a quarter of what it is capable of.
The plane was filled with 11 000 gallons of jet full though – for technical reasons – it only needs half of it.
Knowing this fact it is now understandable why the WTC sustained so heavy damage.
Another curiosity: Did you know that five or even six of the 19 suspected hijackers are still alive and that they have nothing to do with the attacks on the WTC?30
“Saudi Arabian pilot Waleed Al Shehri was one of five men that the FBI said had deliberately crashed American Airlines flight 11 into the World Trade Centre on 11 September.”
- BBC31
He left the USA a year ago and now is a pilot for Saudi Arabian airlines based in Morocco.
Another man said he lost his passport in Denver, 1996. He continues to say, that he notified the police of the theft. At the moment he is an engineer with Saudi Telecoms.
Again, this is an indication that information released by the FBI with help of the news companies is doubtful or even untrue.
